Page 6: Other Fossils Found That Day
Here are some of the interesting fossils found that day that did not win awards but are in every way interesting and exciting.
This is the glabella (face plate) of the trilobite Flexicalymene
meeki.
Here we have what we often call "dumb bells" (above). It's the trace
fossil of a worm looking from the underside of a rock. The worm was making a
track that shows it poking out to the surface of the ocean floor in two places!
The scientific name is Diplocraterion.
Lots of the Brachiopod, Rafinesquina, were found (below).
Interestingly, many of the Cephalopods, Brachiopods and other shells, were
filled in with calcite crystals, making mini-geodes. Here's one that was found
in the center of a rock.
And lastly, here are just a few of the Dry Dredgers that made this trip
possible! Thanks to everyone who participated! It was, for the third year
running, a big success.
Hope you enjoyed the photos as much as we enjoyed the fun! See you next year!
