Fossil forum, Good morning. I have been looking for literature on the following for a while now, and have not been successful. I was wondering if anyone already had information on the following, or can direct me to a place where I can look for it myself. Brachiopods, specifically Lingulids (classification and identification) Salopina genus ( classification and identification), this genus was moved from Orthis, for further clarification Rhychonellida (classification and identification, at least to the genus level). Camarotoechia genus (classification and identification); Strophomena genus (classification and identification); Gastropods, specifically Platyceras (classification and identification) Bivalves, specifically Modiolopsis and related genera (classification and identification) Ptychopteria genus (also known as Actinopteria). I am also interested in the fauna of fossil formations in northeastern Maine, specifically the Edmunds, Eastport, and Leighton formations. Thanks in advance!

Modiolopsis ovata Whitella sp. found at Mimico creek. Internal mold of a clam valve. I picked this up from the bottom of a collapsed cliff. Georgian Bay formation, late Ordovician, Toronto, Mimico creek. I put a dime next to it for size.© (©)

From the album: Urban Fossils of Toronto (Georgian Bay Formation, Lower Member)
A slab full of late Ordovician fauna of the Georgian Bay Formation of Toronto, mostly containing whole complete Modiolopsis. Found at a collapsed cliff of shale at Mimico creek. Many specimens have crushed parts and their bits of crushed parts got thrown all over the slab, so probably this was a storm turbulence-caused death.© (©)
