I actually might have some Ischadites iowensis in the mix but I really have to go thru it. Just a feeling

They all look right to me, very fun stuff. The Wise Lake is the equivilent to the Stewartville member that I have collected in Southeast MN. I didn't see any obvious Ischcadites in the group of receptaculites, but one may be hiding in there. Not sure on the last item, maybe brachiopod mold, but it looks like there's a Maclurites in the lower right of the slab.

and would this be either Liospira or some type of Hormotoma? It was already in pieces when I found it so Im going to try to glue it back together.
