cngodles Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 While working on a specimen, this little gastropod fell out. Its measures about 7mm wide. Is it a Worthenia or something else? Being so small, I'm not sure it looks like the classic examples I find on fossil plates. Ruler is in mm. Found in the Glenshaw Formation. Pennsylvanian in age.

DPS Ammonite Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Consider Glabrocingulum or Ananias. https://pennsylvanianatlas.org/genera/glabrocingulum/ 2 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

cngodles Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 I certainly see Glabrocingulum there. Too bad I don't have the Aperture. Ananias gets taller, but this one is really small and probably different than a larger specimen. Thank you!

Herb Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 looks like Worthenia sp to me.

cngodles Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 I believe I got a solid ID of Glabrocingulum. I got to take a trip to the museum today and asked the pros.

Jeffrey P Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 This is a Worthenia sp. I found at Mundy's Corner, PA three years ago. Note the differences with your specimen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
