There's a lot going on...bryozoans, flexicalymene faces and a hypostome, bi-valves, gastropods Very nice. Love the two cephalons facing in opposite directions with the hypostome parked in the middle!

Innocentx Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 @hrguy54 It's always fun for me to see assemblages from time periods other than my Carboniferous home. "Journey through a universe ablaze with changes" Phil Ochs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimravis Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I am playing with Cambrian trilobites from Georgia and though I would post a cute little hash plate of Aphelaspis brachyphasis trilobites. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recker Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Here's mine! Came across this while fishing the Whitewater River in SE Indiana, it's full of small fossils and "critters". Curious to find out more info as to what they are! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The far right piece has two Isotelus genal spines, one on top and one on the bottom. I find a lot of Isotelus parts, just waiting for the complete Big Boy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends on deposition area. That are current accumulations on marine palaeo deepswells. Sometimes one can observe a freight sorting from an overweight of mollusks(mostly Monotis clams) to ammonoids. But such lenses are always limited from a few decimeters to only a few meters length. The hash in the pic consists of mostly ammonoid/nautiloid shell parts, bivalve(Monotis and others) parts, Crinoids and other bio parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimravis Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I thought that I would post a couple more hash plates. I enjoy hash plates versus single fossils- they are a real snapshot in time. Here are a couple more Mississippian plates from Vienna, Illinois. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK the Pennsylvanian is pretty much just coal measures so it's nice to see some marine fauna from this time! 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.
