Silurian ostracod species of the Leighton Formation
Mainefossils posted a topic in Member Collections
In this thread, I hope to share numerous examples of the ostracods of the Leighton Formation. As I identify them to at least genus level, if not species, I hope to post them here. If anyone has a better suggestion for the id, please let me know. First up is a cast of a left valve, female, Hemsiella maccoyianna sulcata. Length is approximately 900 microns. Literature on the subspecies: Copeland, M. J. (1964) Canadian Fossil Ostracoda, Some Silurian Species.

This is another fossil from the Leighton Fm, Maine. It is an Actinopteria bella, a bivalve that was first described at this formation (here, https://repository.si.edu/bitstream/handle/10088/14399/1/USNMP-45_1985_1913.pdf). I have had multiple specimens of it, but this is the first one that came out in one piece. The pictures below are of the internal and external mold (top to bottom).
