    scolecodont or conodont?

    Hi again! Over the weekend, I posted pictures of small fossils in a rock I found at Mimico Creek in Toronto, Ontario (Georgian Bay Formation, Upper Ordovician). I've created this new post just for the shiny black specimens that I found in the rock because a consensus wasn't reached regarding their identity. Each of the two specimens pictured below are 5mm long. My question is: are these items scolecodonts or conodonts? I was leaning towards scolecodonts but I wanted to see what others have to say... Thanks once again! Monica

    Graptolite from Mimico Creek?

    Hello there! Well, I tried to take Viola out for a little fossil hunt by Mimico Creek in Etobicoke, Ontario (Georgian Bay Formation, Upper Ordovician) this afternoon because when I checked the forecast this morning it looked like it was going to be ideal fossil-hunting weather - a mix of sun and cloud with temperatures in the mid-20s Celsius. When we arrived, however, it began to rain - we toughed it out and came away with one piece before it began to pour and we called it a day. I was disappointed since I was hoping to spend a few hours there, but the one piece we took home looks like it might have a graptolite on it, which is quite exciting since I have yet to find one in my local haunts. Please check out the photo below and let me know what you think: Thanks in advance for your help! Monica

    Toronto Nautiloid

    Treptoceras crebiseptum (Hall, 1847). A nautiloid found in the shale of the Georgian Bay Formation, lower informal member, at a shale wall. Locality is Mimico Creek, Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada. I have included in situ pics to show the process of collecting the specimen. The length of the orthocone is approximately 40 cm which is the size of an adult Treptoceras crebiseptum.
  4. Hello everyone! On Monday, I found a beautiful Treptoceras crebriseptum orthoconic nautiloid in a huge rock at Mimico Creek in the Etobicoke/Toronto area (Georgian Bay Formation, Upper Ordovician). It has been suggested that I might have a complete specimen, so I was hoping that someone out there might be able to let me know if this is the case or not. Here are some pictures... Whole specimen: Close-up of the base of the specimen (specimen has been turned over) - note that it is smoothly rounded and shows no septa - is this the fossilized living chamber of the animal? Close up of the tip of the specimen - note that it seems to end before the rock edge - is this the very tip of the animal? Close up of the piece that shattered off the tip of the specimen - note that it also seems to end before the rock edge: Thanks for your help!!! Monica

    Flexicalymene granulosa

    From the album: Urban Fossils of Toronto (Georgian Bay Formation, Lower Member)

    Flexicalymene granulosa, Mimico creek, Toronto, Ontario. Georgian Bay formation, late Ordovician. Complete specimen still embedded in the shale. Will need prep work to be exposed. I found this one at a collapsed cliff of shale at Mimico creek. I found some flexi's this summer at Mimico creek but usually whole specimens start crumbling apart the moment I try removing the matrix around the specimens.

    Conularia formosa

    From the album: Urban Fossils of Toronto (Georgian Bay Formation, Lower Member)

    Conularia formosa (Miller & Dyer, 1878). Found in limestone at Mimico Creek, Toronto. Late Ordovician, Georgian Bay formation. Species unknown. Negative cast. There are pelycopod molds surrounding the specimen. Note: I was talking to David Rudkin (Assistant Curator, Invertebrate Paleontology) at the ROM rock clinic on Dec. 10, 2015 and showed him the specimens of Conularia and he pointed out that the species that can found in the Georgian Bay formation is C. formosa.

    Modiolopsis Mayhem slab in situ

    From the album: Urban Fossils of Toronto (Georgian Bay Formation, Lower Member)

    A slab full of late Ordovician fauna of the Georgian Bay Formation of Toronto, mostly containing whole complete Modiolopsis. Found at a collapsed cliff of shale at Mimico creek. Many specimens have crushed parts and their bits of crushed parts got thrown all over the slab, so probably this was a storm turbulence-caused death.
