Kehbe Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Was on my way home from my moms house today and stopped at a cut in south Lenexa, Johnson county, Kansas and found this nice little Enteletes. I am pretty sure I was in the Pennsylvanian, Captain Creek Limestone. I started reading up on it and fell asleep twice reading these papers http://www.kgs.ku.ed...oore/index.html http://kuscholarwork...andle/1808/3662 Interesting as all get out but wow I have a hard time getting through it! Without more of it exposed it is hard to determine the species but I am thinking 'pugnoides' based solely on the sulcus and the lateral plications. Thoughts are always welcome Anyway, here are a few pictures of it. Thanks for looking pic1 pic2 pic3 pic4 It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change. Charles Darwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squalicorax Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Very Nice brachs. I always see them in North American Index fossils and I want to find one now. Congrats on the multispecimen plate.

Missourian Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Those are always nice to find. Are there any largish chunks of the limestone at the outcrop? At times, it's easy to hammer through the rock. The brachs roll right out. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
