Nimravis Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I am at a 99% certainty that this is just a weathered annularia, but there is a very small percentage of my thinking that it might be the cephalopod, Jeletzkya douglassae. I know that J. douglassae has 10 arms and this concretion has 9 branching (leaves / arms?). I collected this 1/2 concretion years ago at Pit 4 (Shadow Lakes- Braidwood Flora / Fauna) What do you think @fiddlehead, @RCFossils? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I am also thinking Annularia: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCFossils Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 It appears to me to be a lightly preserved annularia. i do not see anything that would indicate cephalopod. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
