Here is the complete guide to the Mahantango ammonoids! Koenenites is only included because of two specimens (found by my friend and I) from Swatara Gap, which includes some Mahantango strata according to HynerpetonHunter. Tornoceras is the most common, Koenenites the rarest. Enjoy!

A reconstruction of the Mahantango Formation
Bringing Fossils to Life posted a topic in Paleo Re-creations
I just finished a reconstruction of the Mahantango ecosystem, based off of fossils I have found at corresponding sites. This certainly does not cover all species in this formation, but many of the most prominent (Sorry no Dipleura, haven't done that one yet). I recently learned about Striacoceras and re-identified many of my orthocerids as this obscure genus. Striacoceras is the brown orthocone in the background. I included two crinoid genera, (left to right) Ancyrocrinus and Botryocrinus. an Eldredgeops searches for prey. There are several Mucrospirifer brachiopods, some Orthonota bivalves, a couple ammonoids (Tornoceras and Agoniatites), and some Pleurodictyum coral. In the distance, a shoal of Bactrites drifts. This is one of my first entire ecosystems.- 5 replies

New Identification Posters for Common Hamilton Group Cephalopods
Bringing Fossils to Life posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I just made new ID posters for Hamilton Group Cephaloods - one for Nautiloids and Bactritoids, and one for ammonoids. The reconstructions are either new or updated for accuracy. Color patterns on the first picture are based on close relatives. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know - I want these to be as useful as possible.- 6 replies
