I am not sure but the curved surface from the bottom of the image curves up an to the right. It appears to be a small ridge. Then, coming off of this to the left is a long "spine'. I suspect this may be a portion of a trilobite?? with a genal spine going off to the left?? It must have been a big one! Found in the area of the Fairview formation. North-east end of the cut.

 


This is a close up of about 30 very small brachiopods gathered around a small piece of glyptocrynus. Fairview formation, east side of the cut.


Larger image of the same specimen. Some ichnofossils are noted on this piece of limestone


Underside of this same specimen. Note the radial pattern. It is directly under the gathering of brachiopods and Glyptochrinus.
 


A group of Glptochrinus stems and bases of the calyx. See a, b, c, & d. Fairview formation, East side of the road cut.
