PFOOLEY Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 While at the ABQ Gem and Mineral show on Sunday, I spotted this cool little Nautiloid... ...I could not help myself. The information: Does anyone recognize the matrix/fossils and perhaps some guidance on literature? Thanks for your help. 2 "I am glad I shall never be young without wild country to be young in.

erose Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Definitely Upper Ordovician Cincinnatian Series. But could be from one of many formations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymig Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 You sure that's the eye of an Isotelus? They have thousands of lenses. Might be an ostracod like Entomozoe madisonensis. Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
