Dry Dredgers Field Trip
To a Northern Kentucky Road Cut
Southgate Member, Kope Formation

Page 9: Brachiopods and Bryozoans Found
There were two common brachiopods found in this site. The
first is Cincinnetina multisecta (formerly Cincinnetina multisecta).
The second most common brachiopod is Sowerbyella.
A hand lens, on this site, is an essential tool for finding all kinds of interesting fossils. This rock (below) had a number of Ostracodes on it!
Bryozoans
A common Bryozoan found encrusting the rock surfaces on this
site, is Aspidopora (two pics below)
. 
Another bryozoan commonly found on this site is Prasapora
simulatrix, seen as cone shaped bryos below. Be sure to check be circular
bottom sides of these bryozoans for the rare and prized Ontopleurid trilobite,
Primaspis..
Another type of bryozoan found that day was one that seems to
form small balls. This photo, courtesy of our membership chair, Cindy Striley.
That's all! Hope you enjoyed it. The Next Field Trip is March, 2005.
