4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @mackenzie-white, how did you get to this identificaiton? I think we can add in Class Amphibia – here is a link I found for the genus: https://www.idigbio.org/portal/records/50ec3b8a-6c8a-4cb3-a586-4a738508735a
Again, could you clarify the lithostratigraphy?
Talk to you soon,

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi – @mackenzie-white – This is a productid brachiopod, not a mollusc.
Do you have another image or two with a scale bar? It would be good to see multiple views of the specimen to best help you with identification.Class Strophomenata > Order Productida is what you are looking for here.
Given the location you suggest, this is likely from the…[Read more]

This might be Peniculauris bassi which is a very common brachiopod in the Permian Kaibab Formation. See plate 45 figures 1 and 2 in The Environment and History of Toroweap and Kaibab Formations of Northern Arizona and Southern Utah Volume 492 of Carnegie institution of Washington.…[Read more]

Thanks for chiming in @john-christian!

Thank you so much for the information! I will change this and add some scale photos as well! I wasn’t really positive on the identification of this specimen. Thanks again! 🙂

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @mackenzie-white, What helped you identify this as a Phytosaurus? Do you have any other images possibly with a scale bar?
We can update your classification to Order Thecodontia > Family Phytosauridae.
I wasn’t able to find information on the Blue Mesa Member, do you have a reference I could look at?
Here is what I found on the Chinle:…[Read more] -

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @mackenzie-white Do you have another image of this specimen, possibly with a scale bar and from a few angles? That way our curation team can better verify your information.
Talk to you soon!

7 years, 4 months ago7 years, 4 months ago@llundgren, @mackenzie-white: Wow, you guys are right – the Chinle Formation is stunning! Â I like the idea of possibly doing a mini conference with the Southwest Paleontological Society or connecting with a regional GSA section meeting. Â Looks like the Chinle Formation is technically in the Rocky Mountain Section of GSA, while the rest of A…[Read more]

7 years, 4 months ago7 years, 4 months ago@mackenzie-white whoa! I just googled the Chinle formation, it looks stunning. Hah, when I read that you all were collecting on the outskirts of a landfill, I was immediately reminded of a field course I took with my class at Montana State University. We were in eastern Montana, close to the town of Glendive, and also found some great fossils…[Read more]

7 years, 4 months ago7 years, 4 months ago@mackenzie-white yes! it loaded just fine. The spot you’re in looks a bit like some of the stuff we were working on in Nebraska a few summers ago! The was in Cenozoic deposits, and we found a lot of turtle fossils, but some mammal remains, too. I attached a photo here where you can see the geology, and how the patterns on the surface kind of look…[Read more]

Hi Jen,
Thank you so much for the clarification! Not so sure of the lithostratigraphy, I am pretty new to all of this! If you could help me research, that would be amazing! 🙂
