Hi, @hunter-thurmond – Any ideas what this is? Do you have another image with a scale, zoomed in onto the fossil?
I did some research on the formation and it looks like it is Givetian in age so your geochronology would be Phanerozoic > Paleozoic > Devonian > Middle Devonian > Givetian
Maybe @nathan-newell has some ideas being more familiar with the area.
Talk to you soon, Jen
@hunter-thurmond @jbauer I think I see four potentially “fossily” things here: 1) At the top-left, there’s a curved line that could be a brachiopod mold that’s been cut down the middle. 2) Right below that is a little blob… maybe a trilobite nose, but probably something else. 3) A hole right square in the middle; I’d bet that’s a mold of a crinoid stem. 4) The brachiopod-looking mold on the right. Do you think that sounds reasonable, Hunter?
@nathan-newell @jbauer I believed the top right was a cross section of a Brachiopod, you could look into the crevices and see what appeared to be a shell cast with ridges. I was told the little blobs that the Brachiopod appears to be resting on in the cavity are Bryozoans and I thought so too after further inspection. Was this picture transferred from an older version of myFOSSIL, because I thought I learned some of that info here. I since gave this specimen to my Grandfather so new pictures will be difficult to obtain.
Does anyone have more specimen from this location?
