Escape to Patagonia

Fossils and Other Living Things [2015-07-20 14:14:00]   recommend this post  (629 visits)
The trek to Patagonia in 1930 had its paleontological objectives, for sure, but it also had singularly personal ones for George Gaylord Simpson (1902-1984).  In that year, though a young 28 years of age, Simpson already was associate curator of [...]

Discina sp. inarticulate brachiopod from the Kalkberg formation of New York

The specimen below is the only one of any kind of inarticulate brachiopod that I found in the Kalkberg formation of New York. It is fused to the shell of an articulate brachiopod (an orthid of some type perhaps) and is somewhat weathered. From what [...]
