val horn Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 Geography changes over time. Many marine fossils are found in mountains 1
EMP Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Looks like crinoid columnals, a Calyemene sp. trilobite pygidium, and some brachiopod fragments from the lower Silurian Red Mountain Formation. These kinds of fossils are fairly common in the mountains of North Georgia since the sandstone resists erosion so well. Cool find! I like the little trilobite!
piranha Posted January 12 Posted January 12 This pygidium from Georgia is: Diacalymene rostrata (Vogdes 1879) Edgecombe, G.D., Adrain, J.M. 1995 Silurian Calymenid Trilobites from the United States.
