nabeilu Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I found these today: Triticites sp. Toronto Limestone Leavenworth County, Kansas I like the color of the piece. This color attracts me, nice "I like honest men of all colors." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missourian Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 I found these yesterday: Triticites sp. (primarius?) Stoner Limestone Clay County, Missouri I have never seen fusulinid this thick in Kansas City metro rocks. Normally, they are inconspicuous. Context is critical.

Wrangellian Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Attractive specimen, Mr M... as are all that you have posted I'd say. I wonder though how much surface detail is visible on these under magnification.. maybe not enough for a confident ID but is it comparable to, say, Bullsnake's loose Leavenworth Co. samples, or are they more eroded than that?

Missourian Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 I didn't spot any details on the weathered surface of the rock, or in individuals on the freshly broken side. The fusulinids seem to be quite worn, as would be expected after a few decades in the elements. But then again, I just eyeballed them without a lens. I'll drag them under the scope to look for the details that are assuredly there. Edit: Using a loupe, these show some beautifully intricate internal structure. I'm not sure if they have surface furrows like some others fusulinids. I based the tentative ID on a publication ( http://www.kgs.ku.ed...s/83/07_up.html ) that reported abundant T. irregularis in the Stoner Limestone of northeast Kansas. Context is critical.
