paleonet Nereites ichnofacies traces

[Thomas Yancey <yancey@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paleonetters,

I would be grateful for some help in acquiring (purchasing) some samples of
Nereites ichnofacies trace fossils. I want these for use in laboratory
classes devoted to trace fossils and to depositional environments at the
undergraduate (Bachelor degree program) level. Of most use would be samples
of the taxa Paleodictyon, Spiroraphe, Cosmoraphe, Scolicia, or similar
appearing traces, which are easy to recognize and clearly different from
other traces. After all, this is for teaching use and the more obvious the
sample the better the lab will be.

I do not have easy access to flysch deposits for collecting such traces and
have not yet found a good source for such. I desire multiple examples of
each trace obtained and need sturdy ones that are easy to see on the rock.
If you have information on a possible supplier, commercial or private,
please contact me off list.

Thanks.
T. Yancey
