Hello there! Since the kids are in day camps this week, and my husband was going to see a movie with his friend this afternoon, I took advantage of the available me-time and went for a little fossil hunt at Etobicoke Creek in Mississauga, Ontario (Georgian Bay Formation, Upper Ordovician). I have some ideas about what I've found, but I'd like your opinions, too: Specimen #1: trilobite resting place (Rusophycus, probably made by a Flexicalymene) Specimen #2: I think this is the monoplacophoran Cyrtolites ornatus - it was very flaky and some pieces fell

I'm having difficulty identifying this specimen. I found it in Osagean, probably Visean limestone in Lawrence County, Missouri, associated with various other monoplacophorans, which I believe to be kirengellids or something similar. The last picture is an example of an associated fossil of a similar size, being about 3.2cm from foot to apex. I also found in the same piece of stone a smaller, more rounded specimen, as well as fragments of a third. Stinchcomb and Angeli describe two species that share some characteristics with the fossil in question[1]. Kirengella oregonensis, which is foun
