three swatara ordovician organisms

Recommended Posts

Hi.  In this rock from Swatara in PA (ordovician), I see three fossils: (1) Looks like a leaf, about 1" across (2) round stone-like object about 1/2" across, and (3)  small rippled shell about 1/4" across.  Any IDs would be much appreciated!  Thanks!

1 is a bryozoan, probably fenestrate. 2 and 3 look like brachiopods

Welcome to the Forum.

 

Some display oddities. Several thumbnail photos have horn corals which are marked with a C.

One photo, three fossils.

Tim, the thumbnail shows several photos, but not all the post text. When I click on the post to view all the text only one photo shows. Something odd going on since David only mentions one photo.

 

Could the extra photos that I see be from other posts, but are incorrectly displayed on David’s post: some sort of glitch?

Bryozoan, possible trilobite glabella, brachiopod.

Glitch seems to have resolved itself. I now see only one photo in the post.

 

I wonder what post the other photos belonged to.

Have you seen the other photos before?

 

We have had glitches before where extra photos from other posts showed up accidentally.
