About the Photo
A sandstone slab from the Early Triassic (Induan) Dinwoody Formation from Beaverhead Co., Montana. The fossils preserved on the slab are bivalve genera Eumorphotis and Promyalina, which act as opportunistic "disaster taxa" and proliferate in the aftermath of the Permian-Triassic Mass Extinction.
