• Nickname: Pinky
• Collected: Site P, Leiper's shale, Huntsville, by Don Williams
• Dimensions: scale bar is .5 mm
• Comments: Microscopic Stereo views.  Element was found intact enbedded in limestone, but broke in the middle while being extracted using 10% acetic acid.  "From the photo  it appears to be the cordylodiform element of Oulodus oregonia oregonia (Branson, Mehl, and Branson). The occurrence in the Leipers Limestone would mean that it may be the subspecies Oulodus oregonia  velicuspis (Pulse and Sweet) which is limited  to the upper Edenian and lower   Maysvillian. You may find more  information on this species in Bergstrom and Sweet  (1966) and Kohut and Sweet (1968)."  -- communication from  Dorothy Raymond Geologist, Geological Survey of Alabama.
