Hesslerides bufo

Edwardsville Formation

Montgomery County, IN
Mississippian

 

Here is one of the best Hesslerides bufo ever found in over 125 years of fossil hunting in the Crawfordsville, Indiana area. It was found in an old dig, about 20 years ago, and just now professionally prepared. It measures 1 1/4" long and sits nicely centered in a siltstone matrix. You would be hard pressed to find on better than this!!
