I grew up at Craigleith, near Collingwood on Lake Huron and collected hundreds of these. I've only found a  couple of rather poor ones in similar-aged rocks in Ottawa. Yesterday, I found a plate of six Pseudogygites latimarginatus while splitting rocks on a riverbank near Ottawa with a new collector. He got the negative. Unlike at Craigleith, where shell tends to stick at least partly to the negative, it all stayed on the positives. Largest is about 2 inches.

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

Very nice!  :wub: I only ever found one complete one in Ottawa, and that was slightly disarticulated.
