Site 2
Inarticulate Brachiopods
The inarticulate brachiopods found at site 2 included the not-so-common Schizocrania
filosa.
...as well as the inarticulate brachiopod Trematis millepunctata.
Gastropods
There were a large assortment of snails at the second site too.
There was at least one Cyrtolites found. This is a
Monoplacophoran.(below)
Since this site exposed the Arnheim Formation, there were layers with
millions of tiny snails called Cyclora, preserved in a yellow-brown phosphate.
These layers are loaded with other microfossils, including Cyclocystoid plates.
