Wrangellian Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I agree about the good photography and very nice fossils, I particularly like the first one, and the Poterioceras is interesting too. BTW the Pennsylvanian is either a period or a 'sub-period' (I think it should be an epoch, but whatever). In any case not an era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per the International Commission on Stratigraphy, the Pennsylvanian is a Subperiod. https://stratigraphy.org/timescale/ 1 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

JamieLynn Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 @DPS Ammonite and @Wrangellian - thanks for the clarification. I tend to just say Era when posting on Social Media because saying Texas Pennsylvanian Period confuses the heck out of not paleontologists. But I should use the proper terminology when posting on FF! @connorp - this was ID confirmed by Bob Williams of the Dallas Paleontological Society (he wrote a book on Texas Pennsylvanian fauna). Here is a pic of one he has: www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend found one as big as her thumb at another location....but they are definitely not a "usual" find. They are not a usual find here either. I have found a few impressions and pieces, but only 1 decent sized one that was mostly intact. It’s nearly 4 inches long if memory serves. Since a decent one is uncommon in the formation I find them in, I get excited when anyone finds one.

Misha Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Beautiful fossil! Goniatites are really interesting, Is it filled in with hematite? That would be interesting as I only thought that occurred in those Devonian moroccan ones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that act was one of compromise between the US 'period' and the rest of the world's Late Carboniferous 'epoch', but I think this has made a mess of it.
