Shamalama Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 37 minutes ago, minnbuckeye said: Rhynchotrema?? Agreed. That would place it as Ordovician and @ricardo gave you a good resource to help ID them. Next step is trying to figure out where they come from. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Rhynchotrema is a good starting point, i think. Without a location it's impossible to be certain though. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I agree with the ID's. You can find a lot of them at St. Leon, IN.
