JUAN EMMANUEL Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I found these gastropods in Mimico creek, and I think there is also a tentaculite in it. The rock is limestone and all the gastropods are the same species. Does anyone have an idea what they could be? Late Ordovician, Georgian Bay formation, Toronto, Mimico creek. I hope the photos aren't blurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Sharks Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 The "tentaculites" is more likely Cornulites, and I'd venture a guess of Hormotoma for the gastropods 2 There's no limit to what you can accomplish when you're supposed to be doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Wow - That's allot of gastropods on one slab! Any plans to do some prep on them?

Herb Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I agree with Northern Sharks on the id's "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"_ Carl Sagen No trees were killed in this posting......however, many innocent electrons were diverted from where they originally intended to go.

FossilDAWG Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 You might also consider Lophospira as an ID. The whorls seem to me to have a sharp bend about mid-whorl, and Hormotoma has whorls that are smoothly rounded in profile. Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
