PrehistoricFlorida Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Found these in the Suwannee River, they're either Eocene or Oligocene. I believe the echinoid is Rhyncholampas Gouldii. Please help!! www.PrehistoricFlorida.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Siphuncle Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Stepping out of my element here slightly...the echie looks like Rhyncholampas to me....could the sand dollars be Durhamella? If so they are pretty large for their kind. One of the FL or Euro boys can probably settle this with more confidence than I can. Look hard at their posts before giving mine any weight.

MOROPUS Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Last looks like Clypeaster Batheri (look in Tracer`s link). It matches Swaunee river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Found these in the Suwannee River, they're either Eocene or Oligocene. I believe the echinoid is Rhyncholampas Gouldii. Please help!! I guess that the flat specimens are Wythella eldridgei (Twitchell) from the Late Eocene. The odd one is Rhyncholampas (Cassidulus on my old labels). If yours is in fact R. gouldii, that would make it Late Oligocene. If these three were collected from one exposure, your Rhyncholampas could be R. (Cassidulus) conradi, or R. ericksoni, or R. trojanus (after Troy Spring), all Late Eocene. You can send me a damaged example, and I'll try to ID for you. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
