Hyolitha or Conularia?

Recommended Posts

This fossil is from the Manuel River Formation (Middle Cambrian), Conception Bay, Newfoundland, Canada.

I don't know what it actually is: Is it a Hyolitha or a Conularia? Hyolitha were found there, but the Hyolitha I know are all significantly smaller. This specimen is about 10cm long (about 4 inches).
In the literature I have not found anything about Conularia from there.

Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).

I could be wrong, but the specimen looks like a hyolith, to me. :headscratch:

looks like the cross-section is round, so, I would assume to see a hyolith. Not easy to identify...
