Summary
[edit]DescriptionFusulinid limestone, Upper Pennsylvanian; Elk County KS.jpg |
Fusulinid limestone (~3.9 cm across) from the Pennsylvanian of Kansas, USA. This is one of the most amazing fossiliferous limestones I've ever seen. The surface shown here is a monospecific concentration of fusulinid foraminifera ("forams"). Fusulinids are an extinct group of large, benthic forams. They had elongated, rice-like skeletons (tests). The other (non-photogenic) side of this limestone is also covered with numerous fusulinids, plus a small section of crinoid steam, a Euphemites bellerophontid mollusc, and a Knightites bellerophonitd mollusc. Stratigraphy: Raytown Member, Iola Formation, Kansas City Group, Missourian Series, lower Upper Pennsylvanian Locality: Elk County, southeastern Kansas, USA |
