Roz Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 I think it could be a portion of a phyllocarid telson. A Kansas City area specimen for comparison: post-6808-0-36169500-1368665996.jpg Note the teeth-like bumps. Appearance of a complete telson: post-6808-0-16016100-1333416484.jpg That sure looks like a match to me and I didn't expect that at all! Thanks so much! I am going to go ahead and label it.. Love when that happens! Very nice telsons you have found too.. 1 Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Yes, it looks very close : 2.jpg Thanks so much for putting them side by side.. It helps so much and I haven't figured out how to do that yet! Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sélacien34 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Thanks so much for putting them side by side.. It helps so much and I haven't figured out how to do that yet! just a little bit of photoshop to see better the analogies Missourian found the right diagnostic this is excellent.

Missourian Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Hi Missourian, could you tell more about phyllocarid telson, it's very interesting, i found this : https://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2009NC/finalprogram/abstract_155866.htm Unfortunately, I've seen only pieces of the phyllocarids so far. We've found carapaces too, but some or all could be thylacocephalans (flea shrimp). Edited April 17, 2014 by Missourian Context is critical.

Sélacien34 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) No matter, you have determinated this unknown fossil at the beginning, bravo again ! Maybe we will find a complete specimen soon. Edited April 17, 2014 by Sélacien34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarqusandDad Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Very cool with the side by side it gives credence to the separation I was seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
