PRK Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) These comparative specimens are lower cambrian inarticulate brachiopods from the lathem shale. I collected them in the classic locality at the marble mountains in the Mohave desert, over 40years ago. They too are a variety of PATERINA Edited July 11, 2014 by PRK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullsnake Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Those are cool, Paul! It looks like a lot of ichno stuff going on with those slabs, too. Especially the first one, or is that different fossils; kind of look 'plant-ish'? Edited July 9, 2014 by Bullsnake Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRK Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) To answer your question, not quite sure. The brachs are under study at the moment. And if there is any significance to the ichnos, I'm sure they will receive proper attention. However probably just bits and pieces of dissarticulated trilos BTW specimen #2 has a ghostly trilo cephalon on the bottom of the small reddish plate Edited July 11, 2014 by PRK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Nice! How big are they? Kind of hard to tell scale with what you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
