 Nikon MicroscopyU: Phase Contrast Image Gallery - Goniatitic Cephalopod Fossil
Goniatites are an extinct species of ancient marine animal that evolved approximately 400 million years ago.
Goniatites were especially widespread in the shallow seas that surrounded, and occasionally flooded, deltas in North America, Europe, North Africa and Australia.
The sutures of goniatites have a characteristically zigzag shape.

The goniatites provide new insights into their global distribution and the age of the fauna.
The purpose of this paper is to describe a new, previously unrecognized Namurian fauna of brachiopods and goniatites.
The goniatite fragments are, however, consistent with a Carboniferous age and not very dissimilar to the B-10 goniatite material.

 Ammonites Etc -- Lucere Amazing, highly original table...
This beautiful yet imposing Goniatite was carefully extracted from the Sahara Desert, whence it had lain undisturbed for aeons, and was then expertly removed from the large slab of stone in which it had been entombed.
And the contrast between the smoothly polished Goniatite and the rough hewn rock base presents a strong sense of balance.
The patterning on the Goniatite fossil is quite subtle, strong fl lines zig zagging across the shell, alternating with wider lines in a gorgeous pearly grey, the latter due to the presence of calcite, a crystal which has filled the chambers of the Ammonite fossil over the millennia.

Goniatite a bit more info: One of an extinct genus of fossil cephalopods, allied to the Ammonites.
They lived early in the Devonian period, some 400- 450 million years ago, and became extinct during the Permian period.
Goniatites are small to medium in size, often being less than 15 centimeter in diameter (6 inches).

 Goniatites and the Global flood - TheologyWeb Campus
Within the fossil bands, benthonic faunas (brachiopods, crinoids, etc.) occur around the margins of the Central Province whilst goniatite-pectinoid faunas occupy the main central areas, which may have had relatively deep water.” T. Owen, The Geological Evolution of the British Isles, (New York: Pergamon Press, 1976), p.
“Second, the biostratigraphic framework with discrete, often basin-wide bands of goniatites and their correlatives dissecting the basin fill at numerous levels provides an excellent basis for correlation.
Thus, since there are 60 goniatite bands, it means that a new goniatite band arose every 50/60=.833 years or 10 months.

Here we have an internal and external view of a goniatite that was collected from the Postojna Caves in Slovenia.
Goniatites were the precursors to ammonites and had a simpler suture dividing the chambers of the shell.
We could be barking up the wrong tree here, perhaps searching for mid-European goniatites of that date may be more productive.

Anatomically preserved plants are described from marine goniatite bullions of Marsdenian age (Namurian B, Upper Carboniferous) from Star Wood, Oakamoor, Staffordshire, England.
They comprise stems and petioles, up to 15 cm long, predominantly of cordaites (Mesoxylon) and pteridosperms (Sutcliffa), with rare calamites, ferns and lycopsids, and are preserved as calcareous permineralizations.

As we've decided on a spiral, representing a goniatite, as a logo for the signs on a local geological trail the group is designing, we decided we might as well go for that as a logo for the group too.
The Carboniferous goniatite was a forerunner of the better know ammonite of Jurassic times.
The idea is that the animation will bring the site to life; I'm going to have fun designing it but I intend that the information about geological sites across the region will be clearly laid out.
