aek Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) Went a trip to a locality exposing lower Silurian and upper Ordovician material. The weather was quite nice with intermittent drizzling rain. A large Dawsonoceras. I didn't collect it as it was too crumbly. A dalmanitid. Not sure of the species yet. Maybe limulurus? ventral calymenid. possible Spathacalymene. Enrolled calymenid. Assorted odds and ends. Platycerids, cystoids, far right is an odd Dawsonoceras fragment. Thanks for reading. Edited May 2 by aek 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilNerd Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Nice finds! Too bad about the crumbly Dawsonoceras.

Jeffrey P Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Wonderful finds! Those cystoids and gastropods are especially impressive. I would also love to see those interesting trilobites cleaned up. Makes me wish we had better Silurian sites near here. Congratulations and thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
