Kato Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Okay, I know these two pics will look pretty indeterminate, but would anyone be able to get me past cephalopod and gastropod and into an area where I can research and expand my knowledge. Both these were found in the Mississippian, Lake Valley Formation, Andrecito Member (early Osagean). Clear association to Zoophycos with which these were found. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kato Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 2 hours ago, Kato said: Even though rusty in appearance, I was going to propose Solenospira due to shape, size and time association with mid-Mississipian. Did not find Solenospira associated to local formations though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I agree that all 3 are gastropods. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

abyssunder Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I don't see cephalopod there, but I can see the spiralling character in each of the specimens.
