Literature on fossils

[Mainefossils]

Fossil forum,

 

Good morning. I have been looking for literature on the following for a while now, and have not been successful. I was wondering if anyone already had information on the following, or can direct me to a place where I can look for it myself.

 

Brachiopods, specifically

Lingulids (classification and identification)

Salopina genus ( classification and identification), this genus was moved from Orthis, for further clarification

Rhychonellida (classification and identification, at least to the genus level).

Camarotoechia genus (classification and identification);

Strophomena genus (classification and identification);

 

Gastropods, specifically

Platyceras (classification and identification)

 

Bivalves, specifically

Modiolopsis and related genera (classification and identification)

Ptychopteria genus (also known as Actinopteria).

 

I am also interested in the fauna of fossil formations in northeastern Maine, specifically the Edmunds, Eastport, and Leighton formations.

 

Thanks in advance!

Here is a place to start:   LINK

 

I've found it helpful to put search terms in quotes, and add "PDF" after  the focus search terms. 

For example:

"Edmunds Formation Maine PDF"   "Eastport Formation Maine PDF"  or  "Leighton Formation Maine PDF"

 

"Platyceras Devonian Maine PDF"  "Platyceratidae fossil Descriptions PDF"

 

Make sure you use Google Scholar as well as the main Google search engine. 

Also, try other search engines.

 

Good luck.
