Hoooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here we are at last, into Adam's Silurian. Thanks for looking. First up is the Lower Silurian or Llandovery and I begin with a problem. I posted this one incorrectly in Adam's Ordovician as it had got it's label muddled up with an Ordovician Favosites I had that has vanished in the move here, but is being replaced by kind forum member @Herb Anyway, this, I remember now I've found the correct label, is from the greenish Browgill Formation, part of the Stockdale Group from a cutting near Skelgill (Skelghyll) in Cumbria, Northern England. It seems to be a tabulate coral, but I can't find any listed for this location, only mentions of small, rare, rugose corals. It has the star shaped corallites of a Heliolitidid, but seems to be tightly packed together like a Favositidid. A couple of species of Palaeofavosites seem to be close and are a bit star-shaped,, but anyone know any better? @TqB@piranha hmm who else? The coral bit, an external mold, is a maximum of 3.5 cm across and each corallite up to 2 mm.

5-9-22 Lower Silurian Red Mountain Formation- Dalton, Georgia
Nimravis posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Today I made a quick stop to a very small exposure of the Lower Silurian, Red Mountain Formation that is found along Dug Gap Battle Road in Dalton, Georgia. It is a nice place to stop for a few minutes. One of the nice things about this site, is the area where I park my car ,which is across the street. Here is a pic of the site- A couple closer up pics- A pic of me that my wife took from the parking area. Here are some of my finds-
