Whiskey Bridge Gastropod ID Help


historianmichael

Recommended Posts

Many months ago I visited the famed Whiskey Bridge locality. Perhaps due to laziness or a desire to collect other fossils in Texas I have only now gotten around to cleaning, consolidating, and identifying my finds. Using the Emerson book I have largely been successful in identifying my finds. However, I have been stumped on the last dozen or so gastropods. Most of them are tiny, and likely juveniles, which has made identification even tougher. I was wondering if anyone recognized these gastropods. They are Middle Eocene in age, from the Stone City. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I think several of them are Cerithium, the third one looks like some I have that I'm pretty sure are Cerithium Turriculatum.

10 and 12 I have labeled as Hesperiturris nodocarinatus. 

11 looks very much like it but has that slight variation of no nodes on the lower whorl. So not sure about that one.

7 I have labeled as Turritella nasuta

 

And that is pretty much all the help I can give ya. And of course, all of these are tentative ID's...hopefully someone can give you firmer IDs.

#1 immature Ficopsis texana

#5 Cochlespira

#6 Fasciolariidae something like Levifusus.  The Emmerson book should have it.
