Chadian (Osagean, Mississippian) Ammonoids

  Ammonoids are found in Chadian age rocks of the Delle Phosphatic Member of the Deseret Limestone. Those shown below are from these rocks in the Stansbury Range of eastern Tooele County.  I would like to thank Dr. Morris Petersen for showing me this locality and precisely where to find the ammonoid bearing concretions.
