Bromide Formation Brachiopod References

[erose]

Hey folks.  It hit 104 degrees here in Austin yesterday and I have decided to stay in and work on my recent finds in Oklahoma.  I have a bunch of Bromide Formation, Simpson Group, Blackriverian (Upper Ordovician) brachiopods that need sorting out.  I have Mark McKinzie's book and a few OKGS publications but was wondering if anyone can suggest a "good" reference for sorting them out?

 

In fact this could include references on other inverts from that formation and age.

 

Thanks in advance...

As a starting point, I often use Geolex. Search for the rock unit name plus Geolex.

This is the classic reference. For the best quality plates you can enlarge and capture the hi-res jpegs from the online reader.
