Brachiopods
Among the Brachiopods found, the only unusual type is found in
a thin layer at the top of this road cut. It's Rafinesquina squamula
which is exclusively found in the Southgate of the Kope.
Pelecypods
The shells of pelecypods (clams) were well preserved on this
site. Here are a couple of beautiful specimens of Ambonychia.
The clams were also found as internal and external molds. This
next specimen is an external mold.
Here's a clam that is both an internal and external mold!
Ichnofossils
The site was a good one for finding trace fossils. The next
two trace fossils were probably made by worms, but who knows.
The rippled trace below could be the foot prints of the giant
trilobite, Isotelus.
That's all for this trip.
Now it's time for our Annual show, Geofair!
