I am preparing a plate from the Upper Pennsylvanian Naco Formation, in Southern Arizona. I think I may have found part of a trilobite, among all the brachiopods. Does anyone have a clue as to the species? I really can't find any info on trilobites in this formation. The locality is definitely not known as a trilobite-collecting one.

Lack of snow cover and warmer than average temps allowed me to explore and collect sponges and corals from the Pennsylvanian Naco Formation in central Arizona, north of Payson. Widespread chert of the Beta Member suggests that silicious sponges may have been common. Several have been identified but many more exist. I have seen and collected several undescribed species. Dilliard and Rigby have described several sponges including Chaunactis olsoni which I found in the area: The New Demosponges, Chaunactis olsoni and.

What type is this sponge from the Pennsylvanian Naco Fm. from near Payson, Arizona? The silicified sponge is about 1.5 to 2 inches across. Was it originally a silicious or calcareous sponge? Does anyone know of an expert who is interested in undescribed sponges from Arizona/USA? I know of at least 3 other undescribed Arizona sponges. Thanks, John

What is the net like pattern that sticks-out on the inside and outside of a silicified Pennsylvanian horn coral from NW of Payson, Arizona? Could it be an epibont-sponge? Could it be silica that filled cracks in part of the coral that was not silicified and eroded away? The coral opening is about 2.5 inches across.

I found this "spiky head" chert fossil in Pennsylvanian Naco Formation Limestone NW of Payson, Arizona near Pine. The "head" is about 1/3 inch across. Is it a crinoid head without arms, what kind? Thanks, John
