Introduction, Brachiopods from the Winterset Limestone
The Winterset Limestone member of the Dennis Formation was deposited in fairly shallow well-oxygenated water. Most of the invertebrate fossils in the Winterset limestone are large are large and have fairly ornate shells. The base of the Winterset limestone was deposited in much deeper water than the top of the Winterset and systematic collecting through this sequence will demonstrate this.
