Mediospirifer Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I'm looking to add a specimen to Collections (my blastoid, seen at this link: LINK), and I'm hung up on Order and Family. My field guide gave me the genus and species, and Wikipedia gave me the Class, but I can't seem to find any sites online that routinely show Order and Family--except TFF's Collections, which doesn't (yet!) include any blastoids. Can anyone point me to a resource where I can find this info for a variety of Devonian and Ordovician fossils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitbat Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 You might find the section on blastoids in my pdf library useful. Heres a link: LINK. Just scroll down to the section on Blastoidea and check out some of the articles. -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oilshale Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 If you already know the genus, you can try "fossilworks". Google for "nucleocrinus fossilworks" There you can find 'Parent taxon' Spiraculata Hit on Spiraculata - this will lead you to a new site "order Spiraculata" Hit again on 'Parent taxon' Blastoides - this will lead you to the next new site "subclass Blastoidea" and so on till you end up at "Phyllum Echinodermata" So in your case unfortunately only the order and phyllum are indicated but relevant literature is also cited. Hope this helps a bit Thomas 3 Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
