TMNH Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Well I know that a lot of people have found these cool little critters, but I'd love to see all of yours in one place! I'll start it off with some of mine: Conularia Trentonensis, Whitby Formation, Ordovician, (450 mya) Conularia Sp., Georgian Bay Formation, Ordovician (445 mya) Conularia Quichua, Belen Formation, Devonian, (390 mya) - has not yet arrived from Bolivia Edited February 2, 2012 by TMNH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullsnake Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) I have several more, but I haven't photographed them yet. These are the very first ones I ever found. Thanks for the thread!

Wrangellian Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Good idea. I don't live in an area where I could find them myself so the only one I have is one of those same ones from Bolivia, not sure if I should bother posting it because yours might be better! Looking forawrd to everyones examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glacialerratic Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Found this one in a glacial erratic, MI. Basin. I was pretty surprised when this popped out of the rock I was bashing, it is the only conulariid I've found in MI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudeman Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Nice Conulariids, everyone! The detail is great on all of them. Here is one I found while fishing in Rock county, WI. Troy Nelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Nice one Scott! Nice photography too. Already lots of eye candy in this topic. OK here is my Bolivian one, it's broken and reassembled but I bought it because it seems to go right down to the tip, or almost: Just for note-comparing, the info I've got is: Conularia quichua Ulrich 1890 Lower Dev. Sica Sica Fm Patacamaya, ~100km S of La Paz, Bolivia Edited February 18, 2012 by Wrangellian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missourian Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Mesoconularia ulrichiana Lower Devonian - Belén Fm Sica Sica - La Paz Dept. Bolivia Now that is an incredible specimen! The rest are nice too. And I've yet to pull out my few 'crumbs'. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kehbe Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I will have to get better pics soon. These all came from the same site. Pennsylvanian, Kansas City, Jackson co. Missouri. It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

Have you any idea on the Genus? My Flickr Page of My Collection: http://www.flickr.com/photos/79424101@N00/sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I came across this one today while photographing some bugs for my website update. This one is also from the Upper Ordovician Maquoketa formation of Southeast Minnesota. The unique thing about this one is it is completely inflated and was in place perpendicular to the bedding plane. I'm assuming this was the life position of the creature, but I know little about what they were or how they lived.

Caleb Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 ooo Very nice Caleb. Have you any idea on the Genus? Thanks, I haven't looked into the genus yet, perhaps I will tomorrow. It certainly is something I should have done already. Caleb Midwestpaleo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen a conulariid preserved like that before. Both your finds have beautiful colours too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
