Ramo Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Here are some photos of some stuff I found Along the KS-OK boarder this weekend. I know some are crinoid stems, but was hoping to find out what the shells were, age, and name of the layer they came out of. (It was right below the limestone layer with lots of chert nodules, and above the red "dirty" stuff. For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CURT Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Here are som pics of the fossils. Above is the location. Most of your specimens look like Brachiopods. The straight segmented specimens are indeed Crinoid stems . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 X-fish, Good guess it was just south of Dexter. Now for the bonus question? Where did I take this photo later that same day?

Uncle Siphuncle Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Looks similar to the Pennsylvanian stuff of North TX. Shooting from the hip, some of the brachs look like Composita, Reticularia or Juresania. Try googling those genera and look for a match. Hope my spelling is on the money. Grüße, Daniel A.

kauffy Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 hmm looks like missisipian to me? or pennsylvanian ^^ what he said. I know that as soon as you head into IN its missisipian galor! brachiopods are crinoids are everywhere! haha so i would probably say missisipian "Turn the fear of the unknown into the excitment of possibility!"We dont stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.

Ramo Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 Sorry, It was kind of a trick question, as I was in a different state. I had to go to W. Oklahoma for business, and stopped by the Little Sahara sand dunes and took a couple of photos. It was the first time I had ever been there, those sand dunes are impressive.
