Coco

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I received some nice fossils :wub: from Plantguy (I am not absolutly sure to read well the second name of the formation...). I made pics to ask your help to identify them !

In a first time, some of them without name :

2-

3- Opercular

And in a second time, gastropods with genus

They all look like Tamiami Formation (Pliocene, formerly called "Pinecrest Beds") to me, as opposed to Caloosahatchee, given the locality. The Chicoreus is C. floridanus, EH Vokes, 1965.

Yes Marco, the first one is a barnacle (the same fossil on 3 different vues), but I am a "maniac of latin names" ! :D;):ninja: And thank you for your compliments :blush:

Bonsoir,Coco!

?5 - looks to be correctly identified http://z14.invisionfree.com/Conchologist_Forum/index.php?showtopic=1982

3 - could be Naticarius plicatella (Conrad, 1863) operculum: https://www.google.com/search?q=naticarius+plicatella&biw=1360&bih=612&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjvrd335aTJAhWGdA8KHd_cAc8Q_AUICCgD

1 - could be Chesaconcavus tamiamiensis (Ross, 1965)

10 - could be Vasum (Hystrivasum) locklini (Olsson and Harbison, 1953)

6 - could be Phyllonotus globosus (Emmons, 1858)
7- could be Crucibulum (Dispotaea) ramosum (Conrad, 1842)

Hey Coco, Type University of Florida fossil shells. Select FLMNH Paleo fossil shells & minerals which will bring you to the Paleo. Resources page

Select paleo collections

Select Inverts.

Invert. paleo page will give you several choices

Select collections

Invert paleo page will give you options

Select Image gallery

Invert. Image Gallery page will give you many options

Select Florida fossil gastropod or what else you are interested in

Select gastropod & scaphoped gallery, you will see all the florida shells in their collection

Hope this isn't to confusing, this is a great resource for Florida shell identification

14 - The left one is Septastrea marylandica, but the right one looks to be different, or is other S. sp., or is like Montastraea sp. I'm not sure for that.

Hi Coco

Although barnacles are difficult to identify without the associated inner plates as a general rule there are three common barnacles in the Tamiami: large massive species from Bed 10/11 are Chesaconcavus tamiamiensis (Ross, 1964), the non-descript gray species is Balanus newburnensis Weisbord, 1966 and the attractive red barnacle is Balanus sarasotaensis Weisbord, 1981. The interesting barnacle that you picture attached to the bryozoa is a coral barnacle probably Ceratoconcha prefloridana (Brooks & Ross, 1960).

The gastropods from top to bottom are as follows:

operculum Naticarius plicatella (conrad, 1863)

Solenoisteira vaughani Dall, 1903

A. nobilis is correct

Chicoreus floridana E. Vokes, 1965

Crucibulum scutellatum (Wood, 1828)

C. lunata is correct

Heilprinia carolinensis (Dall, 1892)

Hystrivasum squamosum (Hollister, 1971)
Hystrivasum locklini (Olsson & Harbison, 1953)
Chicoreus floridana E. Vokes, 1965

Pusula crovoae Olsson, 1967

Strombus floridanus Mansfield, 1930

Subpterynotus textilis (Gabb, 1873)

The operculum is probably to Turbo lindae Petuch, 1994

The coral is indeed Septastrea marylandica

Hi,

Woh ! Many thanks Mike ! Now I have to make beautiful labels ! Then I am going to have to build a new piece of furniture to shelter these beautiful shells !

Do you think the 2 corails are the same species ?

Coco, if I sit and look at your photos all day :wub: , I won't get much done, otherwise. :D

Hi Coco, Sorry I goofed and didnt comment on this earlier--was looking for a barnacle name online and ran into this thread again! I had looked before and then meant to go back later and got sidetracked which seems to be my middle name more and more lately. Outstanding photos! Very glad Mike was able to assist nailing down the ID's--helps me get my stuff more organized as well if I can take this info and get it on to my labels. thanks for the post!!..

Regards, Chris

EDIT: Hi John...Well it looks like I cant even get a reply done correctly...thanks for your post about Coco's photos.....YIKES...I"m trying just aint executing very well...LOL
