Gramps

Recommended Posts

All,

I found this fossil in a shale deposit of Pennsylvanian age in Northeastern Oklahoma. The shale is probably Chanute formation and contains other marine fossils. I would appreciate any help with ID.

Best wishes.

Straparollus. It looks similar to the coiled gastropod in McKinzie’s Color Guide to Pennsylvanian Fossils if North Texas. Get a copy if you collect Pennsylvanian fossils from Texas and neighboring states.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.   

See my Arizona Paleontology Guide    link  The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.

Thanks, DPS Ammonite & Rockwood--that ID was very fast! Also, thanks for the book recommendation.

Best wishes.
