GordonC Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Above: Acrospirifer murchisoni Along Shimers brook is a section with the Port Jervis Formation (PJF) at the bottom and Glenerie Formation about 100' thick seen on a hike; returned with a hammer and chisel for these. IDs on a looks like basis illustrations by Weller Paleontology 1903. Actinopteria textilis (PJF) right valve Leptaena rhomboidalis and right Nanothyris subglobosa ( both PJF) Meristella lata Orbiculoidia jervensis Leptocoelia flabellites and above it part Tentaculites elongatus Chonostrophia jervensis (PJF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doushantuo Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 You know your Devonian,don't you? Nice finds. Am trying to procure a thingy on Meristella ecology/epizoans,Btw(Cuffey/Lethaia/somewhere in the nineties) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitbat Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 VERY nice brachiopod hash plate! Thanks for sharing! -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Love those brachiopods! is that Orbiculoidea for sure? Looks like Lingula punctata to me, though you seem to know your area. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Gordon, Nice finds! Good to see you getting out there. Your Orbiculoidea jervensis looks more like a lingulid brachiopod - maybe Lingula sp. undet. Thanks for posting these.

Heteromorph Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Nice brachiopod plate! The 5th picture looks more like Lingula to me as well, though like everyone has said, you know your brachiopods. Orbiculoidea, from my understanding, is pretty much circular while lingulid brachiopods are elongated like yours.

Miocene_Mason Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I don’t know how you keep track of all those formations there, so many in such a small area! Awesome finds, love the look of the actinoptera! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Nice finds! I really like the hash! I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonC Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Thank you all for the comments. Both Weller (in Montague 1903) and Shimer (Trilobite Mountain 1905) found Orbiculoidea jervensis to be common in the Glenerie=Oriskany. Neither found Lingula in that horizon. O. jervensis was first identified by Barrett who collected in Montague. Here is Weller's illustration of O. Jervensis. 7 and 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I’ve found there too, if that means anything. Quite a few in one rock if memory serves. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey P Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Over all great finds Gordon. I especially like the Actinopteria. Lower Devonian bivalves are special! I'm with the others in thinking your inarticulate brachiopod is a Lingula. Since it isn't listed, I'm guessing it is a new find for that formation. Congratulations.

Wrangellian Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I thought it was a Lingulid too. Don't ignore the possibility of finding something previously unknown in a given formation/location! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Wonderful finds!!! I especially like the Leptaena - it has such beautiful ornamentation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
