  1. It's been several years since I've last posted. Had a bit of run-in with a medical issue that took me offline for awhile. I seem to be doing better and have been able to complete a daylong ramble in the local hills albeit at 70% of my former capacity. This trip is in the Sacramento Mountains and covers the hike into the Mississippian Lake Valley (MLV) Formation, specifically the Nunn Formation for collecting. The MLV is the last of the formations in the Mississippian locally. After that I ascended into the lower Pennsylvanian known as the Gobbler Formation here. The two Covid years + my own medical issue brought about a lot of negative trailhead access issues. The detours around these now restricted areas add to the hike length sometimes quite measureably. Once into the distant hills away from humanity things look much brighter. The following is a shot back into town and the White Sands National Park (thin white strip in the distance). I'm standing on the Nunn Formation of the Mississippian Lake Valley Formation. If you can't find a crinoid, horn coral or spirifer here you simply are not trying. A couple of crinoid hash slabs picked off the ground. There are plentiful root and stem pieces but intact calyxes are difficult to find and usually quite small (15mm).
  2. I am fortunate enough to have such a huge amount of Middle Devonian Givetian material that I thought it best to put the older Middle Devonian stage, the Eifelian, in its own thread. There are some spectacular fossils here as well though! I thought a good place to start would be in the Formosa Reef, which I believe is quite early Eifelian. This tabulate coral and stromatoporoid reef continues similar complexes found from the Middle Silurian, see my: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/84678-adams-silurian/page/3/ thread from page three onwards for details. All these Formosa Reef specimens come from a delightful gift from my good friend @Monica who is a tad busy with life at the moment but is fine and still thinking of the forum. This outcrop can be found on Route 12 near Formosa/Amherstburg, Bruce County, Ontario, Canada. This beautiful-looking specimen came to me with only a third of it revealed but I managed to get it this far after nine days of painful pin prepping. Monica found another one and posted it for ID here: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/105528-weird-circular-imprints-formosa-reef-lower-devonian/#comment-1172285 The specimen was identified by another Canny Canadian @Kane to be the little stromatoporoid sponge Syringostroma cylindricum. Hardly a reef-builder, but gorgeous nonetheless. It does have a little thickness to it, but not much. Beautiful! Pretty thin, actually. I love this Monica, thank you!

    Syringopora coral preparation

    Hi I have syringopora coral that I want to make more visible. Right now most of it is buried in limestone. I don't want to remove all matrix, just make "tubes" more visible and appealing. Will soaking it in white vinegar do the job?

    Tabulate coral ID - Syringopora or Aulopora?

    The attached photo is a group of Thamnopora corals found in the Devonian Martin formation - dolomites of central Arizona's Verde Valley. There is also a group of tabulate corals that I suspect are Syringopora sp.. but some collection notes by others don't show this genus, but they do show Aulopora sp. as found in the same location. See the small worm-like cluster near the center of the image. Can any of you confirm which genus is in the image?

    A syringopora (coral)?

    Dear forum members, Here are some items that I found on an island close to Vodice, Croatia, Europe. The location was ca. 30 meters from the adriatic sea at a hight of ca. 8 meters above sea level. The items were at the bottom of a building site for a house. They were about 2 meters below ground level, i.e. 6 meters above sea level. Here are two pictures of an item which looks a bit like a coral. The closest match I found on the internet was the picture depicted on the right hand side of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syringopora There was an abundance of items like this around the location. This item has a diameter of ca. 20 cm and a height of ca. 9 cm. The mineral seems to be quartz (an uneducated guess). To show the mineral in a better way, here are pictures of two other items I found at that site. The one on the left has a length of ca. 10 cm (please ignore the scallop shell), the one on the left more like 7 cm. The items are not here with me at the moment, so it would take some effort to get more photos if requested by you. But it would be manageable. Could you please help to ID this item?

    Syringopora cf. ramulosa

    A very common genus, ranging from Ordovician to Upper Carboniferous to ?Permian. This specimen shows good internal detail of the narrow corallites (1.2 - 1.5 mm), including septal spines which are not diagnostic and may not always be present (this may be preservational). The long, infundibuliform (funnel shaped) tabulae are characteristic and show in some of the longitudinal sections. Scale bar 1 cm long.
  7. Hi everyone this is matthew again today in the creek I found a neat coral fossil called syringopora retiformis here is a photo
  8. Here are two interesting Pennsylvanian fossils that I bought at the Flagg Gem and Mineral Show in Mesa, Arizona (~4.5 inches wide) from the Apex Mine near St. George, Utah hosted in the Callville Limestone. A Chatetes sp. sponge is coated in azurite and malachite. Syringopora sp. coral molds are in goethite with significant germanium and gallium values. The goethite replaced the limestone. See this USGS article about the mine: https://pubs.usgs.gov/bul/1577/report.pdf
