Yoda Posted June 5, 2023 Author Share Posted June 5, 2023 Found this at a second hand book shop on the weekend. An old publication. But still worth while. Features stromatolites, coral reefs etc 1 5 MotM August 2023 - Eclectic Collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 I am becoming a huge fan of Graptolites They are fascinating And one can acquire a decent collection at relatively low cost This arrived this morning Dictyonema Lower Ordovician Morocco @Tidgy's Dad Any idea where these are found ?? Formation ? 4 1 MotM August 2023 - Eclectic Collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a good Graptolites fossil myself. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpa Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I too am a graptolites fan. They seem to me to be underrated by the typical amateur fossil collector. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) I'm very fond of graptolites and dendroids myself and though I don't have one of these yet, I don't think this is Dictyonema. I believe this is Araneograptus murrayi from the Fezouata Shale of the Zagora area, Draa Valley. Tis Tremadocian; near the base of the Early Ordovician in age. Nice graptolites that you are obtaining! Edited June 30, 2023 by Tidgy's Dad 1 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice graptolites that you are obtaining! Hey Adam, I've got a small piece of Clonograptus rigidus said to be from Zagora, but Arenig (lower) rather than Tremadoc. Does that location have both stages or is my received info wrong, do you know? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Fezouata Formation is up to a kilometre thick and ranges through the whole of the Early Ordovician, the Lower Arenig (British name), known as the Floian Stage in the ICS, is the top 'half' of it. 1 Life's Good!

OK. I take it A. murrayi is a Tremadocian taxon, then..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dendroids often have longer ranges than other graptolites. As far as I am aware, the species is limited to the Tremadocian in Morocco, but may have a longer range if it is found elsewhere. I do not know. 1 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
