Need ID help with Britton formation fossils

Recommended Posts

Last week I visited my little spot in the Britton formation for the first time since all the flooding rains, it's only a small strip about 20 yds long that's slowly eroding but I always find things. There were the usual baculites, ammonites and crabs, an Inoceramus and a few I'm not sure about. The crab that's circled doesn't look like the other Notopocorystes, it's too long, is it lobster? Then there's the little baculite packed rock that had 3 tiny ammonites, #3 I pried off, Mortoniceras? #2 scaphite or Placenticeras?  #1 so small not sure it can be ID'd. #4 separate rock looks like squished Allocrioceras with smaller one beside it?  Pics will probably end up out of order so numbered ones in question.

In order of photos uploaded:

Pic 1: Metiococeras whitei

Pics 2-3, 7-8: Sciponoceras gracile

The rest of the ammonites are too young/matrix-covered for me to say much. 

 

Looks like a good trip! :ammo2:
