Summary
[edit]DescriptionLeptaena richmondensis (fossil brachiopod) (Upper Ordovician; Brookville Causeway roadcut, Franklin County, Indiana, USA) 3.jpg |
English: Leptaena richmondensis Foerste, 1909 - brachiopod in limestone from the Ordovician of Indiana, USA.
This fossil is from the famous Cincinnatian Series of the tristate area of Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana. Rocks in the Cincinnatian were deposited in relatively shallow marine facies during the Late Ordovician. The Cincinnatian succession is mostly interbedded limestones and shales. Most of the limestones are event beds (= tempestites), deposited during ancient storms. Brachiopods are sessile, benthic, filter-feeding, marine invertebrates. They first appear in Cambrian rocks and were abundant in Earth's oceans throughout the Paleozoic. They were also common in Mesozoic oceans, but are scarce in modern oceanic biotas. Brachiopods have two shells, called valves, that are usually calcareous (made of calcite - CaCO3 - calcium carbonate). Each shell of a brachiopod is bilaterally symmetrical, unlike each shell of a bivalve (clam). The brachiopod at center is a distinctive strophomenid called Leptaena, which is characterized by having prominent concentric wrinkles on both the dorsal and ventral valves. This genus has been reported from the Ordovician to the Mississippian. The brachiopod at left is a partial Rafinesquina pondersa. Click on the photo once or twice to zoom in - notice the tiny slit-shaped markings on the Rafinesquina shell. Those are Ropalonaria venosa borings made by a soft-bodied ctenostome bryozoan. Classification: Animalia, Brachiopoda, Articulata (also known as Rhynchonelliformea), Strophomenida, Rafinesquinidae, Leptaeninae Stratigraphy: float from the upper Waynesville Formation or lower Liberty Formation, Richmondian Stage, upper Cincinnatian Series, upper Upper Ordovician Locality: roadcut along Brookville Causeway Road (upper cut), just west & uphill from Brookville Reservoir, western Fairfield Township, northern Franklin County, southeastern Indiana, USA (39° 30' 27.05" North latitude, 85° 00' 26.00" West longitude) See info. at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptaena |
