| Above and at right, another specimen of Baltoeurypterus tetragonophthalmus?, CIURCA COLLECTION 052502-1. Note that eurypterid remains are preserved in windrows, typical of the New York and Ontario, Canada occurrences. The matrix is fine-grained dolostone, waterlime, similar to the typical (and famous) Bertie Waterlimes of New York. |
