I was cleaning up these ammonites from the Grayson formation and something popped out of one and another thing came out of matrix. My cataracts are making hard to see small details even in pictures so want to confirm what I think I see, a regular echinoid and maybe a gastropod? Thanks for helping my eyes

Hello everyone, and hope you're all going well. I recently purchased this gastropod fossil and would like it identified for my display cabinet. Does anyone know exactly what it is? Unfortunately, I have no location data; it was labelled as Borthiembryon but it clearly isn't that genus. I would like as specific an identification as possible, but I understand if a species level ID is impossible. Also I bought this gastropod a while ago. I posted it for ID on the forum a while ago but never got a response, and I'd especially like this specimen's ID. The seller told me it was Jurassic in age, but gave no further detail. If no-one knows the IDs of these fossils, then I will contact the supplier of them which gave them to the store I bought them from. I apologise for the low quality of the images; my phone's camera is not great. Thank you all for any help with ID'ing these specimens.

In my Secret Santa gift last Christmas from @connorp I received (among other nice items) a very nice little hash plate from the Mifflin Member of the Platteville Formation (U/M Ordovician, Blackriverian, ~453 MY) from SW Wisconsin. The picture below is the plate as it was received and in my 12/20/22 post about getting it I said: “A great hash plate. I already see two or maybe three different trilobite types with a couple of them tantalizingly partially buried and an interesting gastropod that I am not familiar with. I think a little prep work will make this even more spectacular. As an added plus, it represents my first fossils from the state of Wisconsin.” I finally got around to doing the prep I talked about and spent a little time exposing some of the more prominent fossils and giving it a gentle going over with air abrasion to bring out some of the features. I think it looks even better than it already did and I was even more impressed with the wide variety of fossils on the small section of rock. Below is the cleaned up plate: Here is a collage of the plate just turned at different angles to the sunlight in case it helps to bring out any features: There are hundreds of fossil fragments on this one small piece of rock, but I want to highlight the top couple dozen specimens. With the help of some TFF members via previous posts and replies in a couple of ID threads I put out (thanks @Tidgy's Dad, @connorp, @piranha, @minnbuckeye and others), I have identified several trilobites, brachiopods, gastropods, ostracods, bryozoans, and a crinoid and want to show you this wonderful diversity in such a small space. If anyone sees changes to my ID's please feel free to chime in. Some will be very specific ID's and some will be a bit more general. The picture below is the key to where each of the numbered specimens is on the slab (see number in upper left of each specific picture). We will start with the trilobites. Although each is only a partial, there is enough present to get a pretty specific ID on most of them. All are new genera or species in my collection. Here are the brachiopods: Here are a couple of specimens of a really neat gastropod which was new to me. So often it seems Paleozoic gastropods are just internal molds or rather plain forms, but this first one is very nice. Here are a few bryozoans and one very small horn coral. There were several of these small corals, I'm not really sure of the ID, I didn't research them much yet. Just a couple of small crinoid columnals were found. And last but not least are the ostracods. I am used to small ostracods (which some of these are) but there is also this one form that is huge (by ostracod standards) coming in at about a centimeter long. At first I thought they were brachiopod fragments until I looked at them closer. These things are the size of a kidney bean! Note the scale difference between the Eoleperditia and all the others. Most of my ID's are questionable as I was using a reference that is for the immediately overlying Decorah Formation until I can find a listing for the Mifflin Member. OK that is everything for now. I hope you have enjoyed the wonderful diversity of this small slice in time. With a little more investigation, I may yet tease out a few more specimens worthy of an ID. Thanks for looking. Mike

Hi All, I took a trip (I live just outside of Philly) down to Calvert Cliffs on the MD side to spend a couple days hunting. I was able to visit the VA side of the Calvert Formation back on Labor day, and was excited to see the MD cliffs. First day I spent all of my time at Matoaka Beach hunting solo. Tried to access another section of beach later that day, however it required hiking through some thick vegetation, and I was losing light, so I gave up. Second day I met up with the Delaware Valley Paleontology Society to visit a few sites with CHAPTours. Wound up visiting 3 different beaches, and finished off back at Matoaka (I didn't know we'd be going here otherwise I'd have picked a different beach the first day). Overall, I had pretty good outings both days. Surprisingly I didn't find a single shark tooth, but lots of amazingly preserved bivalves and gastropods. Some photos from the beach/cliffs from both days. From the top of the cliffs: Bivalve fossils were everywhere. Group shot with a sampling of finds.
