Retiolitid graptolite, Pseudoplegmatograptus, Llandovery, Poland
TqB posted a topic in Member Collections
I was browsing some photos of monograptids for sale and noticed in the corner of one of them a ghostly patch with some faintly marked bristles . Thinking it was probably a retiolitid , I bought it and it arrived yesterday. So it turned out to be which was pleasing as they're very interesting and beautiful and I haven't found any in the field yet. After wading through a fair bit of literature, I think it's probably Pseudoplegmatograptus obesus (Lapworth 1877), or something close (graptolites being frustratingly impossible to ID for non-specialists). (Mrs. @Spongy Joe ?) From Zdanow, Bardzkie Mountains, Poland. Sold as Wenlockian but I believe that should probably be Telychian (Upper Llandovery). Really tricky to photograph, the light has to be just right or it's near invisible, as in the first photo... The next three are taken with near overhead light and some digital tweaking.
