Cephalopods
We found this very interesting Cephalopod that was completely encrusted with
the special Bryozoan, Spatiopora. The monticules are aligned in
the direction of the Cephalopods travel.
The Cephalopod fossil was also filled with Calcite crystals.
Here are some pictures of the more usual preservation of these Cephalopods.
Siltstone internal molds.
Gastropods
The gastropod Cyclonema were found in good quantities here. Cyclonema are
most often found with the external shell features preserved, as shown in the
pictures below.
The rest of the gastropod genera were found as internal molds.
