bedding surface with large hemispherical Nimbia and several varieties of the chambered Palaeopascichnus gracilis and narrow P. linearis

detail showing the narrow chambered palaeopascichnus linear is

large Aspidella terranovica (oval) much smaller three lobed triforillonia beneath and a variety of chambered protists Palaeopascichnus

It’s midterms here at MUN & with cleanup from a 75cm 2 day snowstorm too it’s been a disrupted week, so a quick #FossilFriday post- #KotlinCrisis bedding plane from Ferryland NL with #Palaeopascichnus, #Aspidella terranovica & #Triforillonia material of Dr Latha Menon (submitting next week!!)

ovoid Aspidella terranovica with central groove next to 3 lobed Triforillonia

Chambered branching protistan fossil Palaeopascichnus left and a bulbous, discoidal Nemiana sp bottom

This #FossilFriday, how about a little look forward in the #Ediacaran to the post Kotlin Crisis extinction event strata in in Newfoundland. doi.org/10.1130/G542...

The post-extinction biotas are dominated by discs such as #Aspidella terranovica and the giant protistan #Palaeopascichnus.
