Ordovician Chitinozoans from Florida Well Samples

Ordovician chitinozoans recovered from a grayish black shale are described for the first time for subsurface North-Central Florida. The bottom-most sample of the Sun Oil Company, Earl Odom No. 1 well, Suwannee County, Fla. was bracketed as Late Arenigian to Early Caradocian. The Ordovician is immediately overlain by Silurian sediments. A new chitinozoan species is described.
