Indy Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 You need to flip the shell over and take another picture to showcase the other side keeping the shell in the life position.

Indy Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Group... Although at first glance, many of the fossils from this locality may appear familiar...Many are larger and a different species than is commonly seen on Texas and other Pennsylvanian websites as well as in publications like Pennsylvanian Fossils of N Texas (for example) We are dealing with an unfamiliar locality with a nutritionally rich environment which produced some large fauna as well as attracted different species than most Pennsylvanian fossil enthusiasts have collected or seen imaged on the Net If the collector's locality was in Texas then the task of identification would be relatively easy. My suggestion, Gerald...Don't get too discouraged an continue posting images of the collected fossils and in time the identifications will be known. Those with a different view ...

ckmerlin Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Dunbarella looks close too. Interesting thought Indy, this would be similar to the Cambrian explosion ,upper Carboniferous period and early creaceous period when oxygen levels were a lot higher than they are today, so much of the terrestrial fauna was a lot larger than today especially some of the invertabrates Edited September 13, 2011 by ckmerlin "A man who stares at a rock must have a lot on his mind... or nothing at all' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
