Can anyone help me here?  Found this walking a creek near Ithaca, New York.  Hamilton Formation.  Ithaca Formation.  Is this Plumalina?  

 

Thanks!

Definitely Plumalina. They're known to be found in the Ithaca area. Probably Upper Devonian, not Hamilton which is Middle Devonian.

At first I thought autocorrect changed plumalina to plumaria but are you giving a more specific ID to Plumalina Plumaria?

Yes, you are correct!  On closer inspection, the area is the Late Devonian Ithaca Formation, not Hamilton Formation.  Apologies about my error, and thank you for the correction.
