3 years, 10 months ago3 years, 10 months agoHi @charles-smith, what a wonderful diagram of this fossil! The only thing this needs is a scale as well! @david-clark might be able to help you narrow down the identification!

3 years, 10 months ago3 years, 10 months ago@chad-bruce another awesome find! I see that you’ve already got some of the information filled out! @david-clark might be able to help you narrow it down further. In the meanwhile, to make this research grade, you can upload photos of it against a neutral background with a scale for reference!

4 years, 7 months ago4 years, 7 months agoHi, @david-clark – I mentioned this on one of your other specimens but we will want to eventually split this into two specimens as they are different individuals. The pyritized specimen is really spectacular! Talk to you soon, Jen

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @david-clark – I think you have a typo, is the species S. nasuta? I found some results searching that rather than S. nasufa. Is the family undergoing revision or does it fit into Calymenidae? I’ve gotten some conflicting results when researching it.

Looks like I did have a typo! The formation has changed from Osgood to Massie, so I’ll change that too. I’m not aware of any revisions and I think it fits into the calymene family. I know calymene in general is in need of a massive revision.
-
Yes, from what I understand Calymene is a huge garbage can of trilobites. It sounds like a big undertaking! I’ll stick with the blastoids, for now =D
Thank you for getting this updated! If you get a chance to take another photo at some point, adding in a scale would immediate push this to ‘research grade’ so it can be searchable on iDigBio’s data…[Read more]

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @david-clark – these are two separate specimens, is that correct? If you are interested, we can separate them into two occurrences – this will allow them to be migrated to iDigBio for others to find during their searches. You could also update the geochron to include Mississippian, I think the age is Visean but you’ll have to double check.…[Read more]

Hello Jenn – These are two specimens. I think I have 4-5 total. I should probably create new entries with better pictures. I entered these a few years ago and the picture quality isn’t the best.
I’ve heard of Harold Beaver’s study, but I don’t think I have a copy. I have seen O’Malley & Ausich crinoid biomarkers. This is the only locality I know…[Read more]

That’s excellent you have so many! I think most of his specimens are still hidden away at Baylor rather than in their proper homes. I send you a direct message with a link to my Dropbox with some of his papers!

7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months ago@joyce-drakeford, I know Aurora Friends meets fairly rarely, but I wonder if this is something you would be interested in.
Maybe @spassmore would find this strategy interesting for WIPS, too.
@david-clark, is this something FUMMP would want to do?

7 years, 6 months ago7 years, 6 months agoWelcome to @david-clark and @james-beech, newest members of the myFOSSIL community!
This is actually the same specimen. As found in the field and after prep.
Wow! I think the brightness of the one really messed with me. That’s even cooler! If you get a chance to upload one with a scale that would be great!
