| Comment: | Preservation leaves a lot to be desired but I am reasonably certain that these two gastropods (not cephalopods) are Omphalotrochus. If this is correct the age is early Permian. The specimens are shallow water marine, possibly nearshore, but I cannot give a meaningful paleo-ecological analysis based on two poor specimens. If the quality were just a bit better, I would have no hesitancy about early Permian. Almost without any question whatsoever, the beds are late Paleozoic. |
