Several gastropods from Galena Formation near Decorah Iowa
tombk posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I was recently near Decorah, which is in northern Iowa and near the border with Minnesota. The predominant bedrock there is the Galena Formation. It is chiefly limestone with some interbedded shale. I was there only one full day and had other things to do (other than look for fossils, that is, if you can believe it). I did visit one road-cut along highway 52. I am not geologically informed enough to know what member of the formation was exposed at the road cut, so the closest I can get to dating it is to say that it’s upper Ordovician. The road cut was not a place I’ll vis -
This is my first post of a Fossil Trip I took. I'm also fairly new to identifying fossils and researching the geological makeup of various sites. The trip was fun and writing about it really helped me organize my finds. (Sorry to use a sharpened pencil to indicate size. I want to get one of those cool metallic-looking cubes I see on TFF. If somebody can tell me where to get one, I'd be very grateful.) I recently went on vacation about 8 miles East of Galena, Illinois. I had checked with a few local and regional rock and fossils groups to see whether anybody knew of collecting sites

Hi, can any members help me identify this fossil gastropod I bought a few years' back from a junk shop? I don't know its age or its location. It could be Jurassic from Dorset, southern England, but that's only a guess. So, too, is my own identification, that it's an inner cast of a homotoma. No idea as to the species, though, and it could well be something else. Any sea slug lovers out there?
