Hi @patrick-hsieh! These are all amazing specimens! This one certainly looks like Gryphaea sp. to me, but is a little outside of my wheelhouse. From what I can tell, there are no published records of Gryphaea from the Ladd Fm. Is that your hesitancy in identifying the genus? Perhaps @samantha-ocon or @jbauer can provide some more insight.
@smoran Yes, that is exactly why I left it queried. It looked like a Gryphaea sp. to me but it does not match anything in the literature I have for this locality so far.
@patrick-hsieh Agreed! Hopefully we can get confirmation from an invertebrate expert. Maybe @ahendy could also provide some insight?
@smoran Austin messaged me and his best guess is Phygraea inornata. I’ve updated the classification accordingly.
That’s great @patrick-hsieh! I’m really glad Austin was able to help out.
