sTamprockcoin Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Found this this morning. As near as I can tell its from a siltstone layer of the Brallier formation. I know that there's not a lot of contrast or detail but any ID suggestions are appreciated. Its about 1 inch long. Second item showed up when I was trimming prior to prep (Its .25 inch). 1 1 “Beautiful is what we see. More beautiful is what we understand. Most beautiful is what we do not comprehend.” N.

Rockwood Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 The first looks like a bivalve. The second is a brachiopod. Sorry if you were looking for genus and species, but that requires more patience than I have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 The brachiopod seems to be an internal mold, so is more difficult to identify. I might be tempted to guess at Cyrtospirifer chemungensis. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 The brachiopod may be something like Plicoplasia plicatus. The bivalve looks similar to Actinopteria sp.

sTamprockcoin Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Forgot that I had that pdf, I'll try to remember to check that before I ask for id help.
