Jeffrey P Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Meristella laevis, a Lower Devonian brachiopod from the Glenerie Limestone exposed in a roadcut along Route 9W north of Kingston, NY. The one in my hand includes both valves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Really interesting preservation in the Glenerie!

Shamalama Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Nice! The preservation looks similar to the type of preservation that I've seen in the Licking Creek Formation in Virginia and the Old Port formation here in PA. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
