Plantgrogu Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Another successful creek walk yesterday and found this huge beauty. I think it may be in the Pachyporidae family, but not sure what species or if it's something else. From what I understand, in my region (Finger Lakes, NY) they are found to the north in Onondaga limestone and were brought south by the glaciers. I never thought I would find anything like this here. Glacial deposits are so cool. The matrix has a pink, blue, gray hue in natural light and I've seen quite a bit of it in recent days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been researching nomenclature after your help with identifying Genus and have been confused by the superfamlies of Favositida but think I've got things sorted out (hopefully). If you know of a good source that clearly lists nomenclature down through Genus and Species, please let me know. I've found a few websites but they leave me hanging at superfamilies. I'm a nomenclature nut and understand that others may not be. I've found some great articles and hope to narrow it down to species. I found this article with photos and genus and species to be helpful with the one I found.
