I believe the smaller variety seen on the snail fossils were a younger form of what would mature into a larger creature. From what I have read, they are the same species.<br />You might contact the people at Primitive Worlds web site who quarry the Rochester Shale about <i>Cornulites</i> they find.Michael Popphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16741723962997816729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927143376177050152.post-5489384951557332932012-06-30T07:17:50.054-04:002012-06-30T07:17:50.054-04:00Hi Mike - I always think of "Cornulites propi...Hi Mike - I always think of "Cornulites propius" as the small riders that attach to Waldon gastropods. I have many examples of these, but also have three or so that are 1.5 to 3.0 inches long - these seem to have a slightly different shape and folks that sold them called them "Cornulites sp.". Could you comment on size - do you feel these are different species? I also wondered why i've never seen any "Cornulites" between 0.5 to 1.5 inches"? I was also wondering how many different Cornulites you have seen coming out of Rochester Shale? regards - JackAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
