Quick Stops throughout Canada-NY, Focusing on Toronto
Isotelus2883 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
This week, I had an opportunity to make some very quick (>30 min) stops along the way to a conference in Toronto, and on the way back. 1. The first stop was in Montreal, pretty close to the hotel. It was an exposure of the Tétreauville Formation. A 20 minute stop, coupled with the fact that even fragments of shale had to be pried out of the frozen ground, and that the shale was mostly empty, made this not the most productive stop. I did manage, however, to find some trilobite fragments. Starting with some small shell-less Sowerbyella sp. And of course trilobite bits, negatives, of course because my luck is just like that. Flexicalymene senaria Cheiruridae indet.

These bits are on the same piece of rock, kindly sent to me by the marvelous @Monica. They are from the Etobicoke Creek, Toronto, Ontario, Canada and are Georgian Bay Formation which is Late Ordovician in age. I think they are likely bryozoa, but stromatoporoid might be possible for the first one and algae for the second. They are found in a piece of rock that also contains Paupospira (was Lophospira) gastropods, crinoid stems and individual columnals, Cornulites flexuosus and Flexicalymene granulosa. The first one doesn't seem to have much depth to it. 1 to 2 mm at most. The second one is a stick ! Another stick : And what are the spiky toothy things?

Hello everyone! I went to Etobicoke creek a while ago and was wondering if anyone could help further identify my finds. Down to the genus or maybe even species. Thanks!
