hitekmastr Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) We're not sure all of these are gastropods but they are similar in shape and scale - we've marked each image or set with numbers in case anyone wants to take a stab at helping to confirm the identification. We think the most common one is glyptotomaria. Many of these were discovered after we brought home our samples which included a fairly large assortment of shells and two trilobites. Quite a few were revealed when we inspected the shale samples closely. Taking closeup photos added more detail and made these more interesting, we think.

New Members ezs13 Posted August 1, 2012 New Members Share Posted August 1, 2012 Cool stuff. I wasn't aware that there were other collecting sites in Tully. The only one I am aware of is behind the hotel at Rt 80/Rt13. I haven't collected quality specimens from there in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewcuse Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I found one a lot like 6 in the creek at Tinker's Falls, just south of Tully. Sandstone. The "top" was exposed and worn, but with a small chisel it popped out nicely. Were you able to ID it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can check these sources for confirmation: Gastropods from the Tully Site from - New York Paleontology Website. Dr.Karl Wilson's fantastic website!

Brewcuse Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Yes, Dr. Wilson has helped me with some info and his website is excellent. My fossil is more round, less spiral, so I'll take a tour through the Linsley PDF to see if anything looks good. I have so much to learn on the species end of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
