Tentaculites oswegoensis

Extinct species of worm-like animal

Tentaculites oswegoensis is a small animal of unresolved phylogenetic affinities that has often been classified with molluscs or even with marine worms and has recently been interpreted as a lophophorate based on shell microstructure. The genus Tentaculites was named in 1820 by von Schlotheim. Tentaculites oswegoensis was named by 1877 and is known from the Upper Ordovician rocks of the Maquoketa Group. It ranged from Oswego, IL to possibly Kankakee River State Park (KRSP) in Will County, Illinois. At KRSP it appears in the basal Silurian of the Kankakee Formation but has not been found in the underlying Ordovician rocks.
