Photos / SoundsWhatGastropods (Class Gastropoda)ObserverozarkpoppyPlacePrivateDescriptionhad on notes that this was recorded, but I can't find it (so maybe redundant). at least three gastropods - two high spired and one halloween. relative weathering - upper Elsey? lowest Keokuk? (assuming Burlington proper is absent from this vicinity). pinned location is close |

Photos / SoundsWhatBryozoans (Phylum Bryozoa)ObserverozarkpoppyPlacePrivateDescriptionlower Keokuk is best guess, looking for outcroppings at one of the highest locations I have access to. these sharp, angular red chert rocks were abundant. Could be wrong about this, but maybe basal Keokuk as opposed to the whiter more weathered chert so common on the ridge. intent is to return/uncollected.
