Dromiopsis Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hello, Here Graptolites I found last week in Scania, Sweden. I am sure only about the period: Middle Ordovician, just before the limit with the upper Ordovician. Can someone help me with the genus? Thanks in advance D the single specimen measure 6 cm Gallery pictures http://www.flickr.com/photos/supergrevling/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dromiopsis Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hi Dromiopsis, Is it Diplograptus? PDF LINK Hi Scott! Thanks for the pdf!..I would like to have such amount of informations.... I was thinking about this Genus but it's very hard to identify when you are not a specialist...., There's one D.foliaceus in this area but in the upper Ordovician....but in other bibliography..is in the middle Ordovician too.... I am a little bit lost Thanks again for help. D Gallery pictures http://www.flickr.com/photos/supergrevling/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I was thinking Diplograptus as well. I think that's the right track to follow anyway. It fits also within the timescale.
