Archimedes Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 It cooled down some this weekend and we decided to see what the rains have washed out in the Famous Brownsport Silurian Glades. Cystoid Caryocrinites ornatus and a Blastoid, Troostocrinus A nice Coral Specimen and some Gastropods Astylospongia praemorsa Astylospongia verracusum Palaemanon cratera and a new Sponge type 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Nice! Proves once again that "Rain is Good"! (Up to a point, with apologies to the Mid-West this week).

Archimedes Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 I have never seen a blastoid that long before, great finds, btw. Roz These are the first Blastoids that appear in the fossil record, the books say Blastoids appear in the Ordovician but have never seen one, and Blastoids were not common till the Mississippian, Even at these type localities Troostocrinus are rare.
