@david-hanes this is the corrected specimen. The other specimen with no data was a mistake.
-
Hunter,
I later noticed that….and still this is a really nice specimen of an ecphora. Many Mollusca/Gastropod fossils found in Florida are found in quarries or shell pits that have been closed or have restricted access. Did you find any other Mollusca/Gastropod genus/species with the ecphora?
-
Quite a bit actually. I will post more soon. Anything I label spring grove came from the same general locality and is Yorktown formation.

He said these were common in the Castle Hayne and upon google search I agree with his ID. Pretty cool and fun to prepare. I will post pictures once I am done with prep.

@lmccall, I think you might be familiar with Castle Hayne, any ideas on this one?

@hunter-thurmond Calamites went extinct around the Triassic but their nearest living relatives in the genus Equisetum (same genus as modern horsetail) were around in the Paleogene. It’s possible it could be that. Can you remove some of the matrix? One of the key features is a node which might be covered right now. A cross section photo would help…[Read more]

@hunter-thurmond Sounds good! Seems like a better fit than Equisetum.

Hunter,
This is a gastropod fossil from the early Miocene, as described by Dr. Edward J, Petuch (Florida Atlantic University). In Dr. Petuch’s book, Cenozoic Seas (2004), he describes the fauna of the “Ecphora calvertensis” faunal community in the , and its paleoecology:
“The ecphoras are the most distinctive and abundant mollusks…. . During…[Read more]
