Shamalama Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 You have a little bit of confusion with the rock formation for your Lakeview, NY fossils. It should read Windom shale, which is a member of the Moscow formation. As for your fossils they are: #1, #2 Nanticonema lineata #3 Athyris spiriferoides #4 Favosites sp. from the Centerfield member of the Ludloville formation, East Bethany, NY #5 Cystiphylloides sp. I think I gave you the first five fossils when I met you at the Eurypterid quarry last fall. As for the other two I'm not familiar with them enough to say otherwise. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

clfossils Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Good day Shamalama, yes I did meet you when we were collecting Eurypterids. Thank you again, I really like them and I'm trying to get all the information together so I can label them and put them on display. Thank you for the corrections, I will enter those in tonight.
