Orthospirifer cooperi, Petrocrania hamiltonae, Hederella |
Silica formation |
Ken Dobson |
|
Submitted on 2008-10-07 by Ken Dobson
Location (approximate): Sylvania, Lucas, OH
Strat unit: Silica formation
Submitter notes: The muddy bottom of the Devonian seas over Michigan seemed to have few hard places for animals to attach and therefore almost any hard surface was prime real estate. This inarticulate has attached itself to the larger brachiopod for a safe place but this proved a mistake as they died togather. Some small bryozoan also have grown on both.

Orthospirifer cooperi, Platyceras bucculentum |
Silica formation |
Ken Dobson |
|
Submitted on 2008-10-07 by Ken Dobson
Location (approximate): Milan, Washtenaw, MI
Strat unit: Silica formation
Submitter notes: This seems to be just a random association between this Platyceras snail and the large brachiopod, Orthospirifer. These are always suspect as the snails are noted to bore into brachiopods to eat their contents as they also did with crinoids.

Bactrites arkonensis |
Hungry Hollow formation |
Ken Dobson |
|
Submitted on 2008-10-07 by Ken Dobson
Location (approximate): Arkona, Lambton, ON
Strat unit: Hungry Hollow formation
Submitter notes: These Bactrities are common in the Arkona shale but rarely are they this complete
due to the extremely soft shale. This is very delicate and a few more rain drops would have destroyed this association.
