z10silver Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hey guys, found this the other day in desert (southern CA near the CA/NV border). Can anyone tell me what it is, and approx. how old? Thanks, Zach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erose Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 It's a "Spirifid" brachiopod. There are quite a few genera and species that fall into that group. Certainly from the Paleozoic (approx. 550-250 Million years old) but I can't say where within in that huge range. There should be some folks familiar with the geology out that way who can supply a better guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
