Favosites turbinatus |
Traverse formation |
David Thompson |
|
Submitted on 2008-02-25 by David Thompson
Location (approximate): Arkona, Lambton, ON
Strat unit: Traverse formation
Submitter notes: These two examples show an unusual form of the coral, Favosites turbinatus, in the form of crinoid calyxes! The bases have stem or what appears to be stem attachments then the coralites are forming a cup or calyx that mimics a crinoid.
On turning the form over (see next photo) the coral is very clear.

Athyris lens |
Traverse formation |
David Thompson |
|
Submitted on 2008-02-25 by David Thompson
Location (approximate): Alpena, Alpena, MI
Strat unit: Traverse formation
Submitter notes: In the Genshaw formation there is a noted section containing these small inflated Athyris brachiopods along with small Atrypa species. There are thousands of these small brachiopods all of the same size and few showing any predatory borings or damage. Due to hydrocarbons in some nearby layers and the presence of water, they are a distinct and clear blue. Once dry, they are a flat gray. These were collected and are being kept in water to preserve the color which shows a bit in these photos.
