Guest solius symbiosus Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hi Matt, the age of the rocks in your area is Devonian, so if Reticularia is only found in Penn-Perm, then they would be a different genera. Though, they do appear to be productids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest solius symbiosus Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 After looking around a bit, I'm thinking that they are Productella sp. HERE is a nice website the shows some of the stuff that can be found in your area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Very neat piece! -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
