Just not sure what I'm looking at here. I found this while searching for metiorites in northern Arizona, specifically around Holbrook, Az. I'm sure someone here might have an answer for me. So thanks in advance. I also should mention I'm new to the site so please forgive me if I posted this wrong. Thanks. J.D.

Hello, I found what looks like a worm on a block of limestone too large for me to split. So I took a picture of it. It is about 4 cm. The limestone is Carboniferous, Pennsylvanian and from the Glenshaw Formation. Thanks for the help!

Hello, it’s been awhile! I’ve been opening up some Mazon Pit 11 stuff and came across this thing. I try to keep myself pretty grounded when it comes to Mazon stuff, because I’m horribly bad at ID’ing anything in a concretion. That said, any chance this is an annelid worm? Thank you as always!

Hello, Could I get an ID on this mazon creek unknown? It has pretty high relief and strong segmentation with makes me think arthropod like a millipede, but I don't see any legs so maybe it's an annelid worm or something.

This one was sold to me as the acorn worm Mazoglossus ramsdelli... it seems to match photos I see, but I'd like a second opinion, please: This one was sold to me as Archisymplectes rhothon ('ribbon worm') but I'm less confident about this one, so, same question as above. If it's not that, what is it?

Howdy all, I've been wondering about this piece for a while. I picked it up thinking it was just a strange rock but someone said it was a worm burrow. What do y'all think? (Found in the Drakes Formation of Louisville, Kentucky).

A Wealth of Trace Fossils from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan!
Pseudogygites posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Another day of great finds in Saskatoon! This time, some trace fossils. With my wonderful collaboration with the University of Saskatchewan's Museum of Natural Sciences still continuing, recently I have been very lucky to make multiple trips out to a beautiful site just outside the city of Saskatoon where massive deposits of glacial lake silt are exposed. This silt produces pristine grass and other plant fossils in abundance (I'd like to make a post about them soon as well), but also seems to be teeming with various invertebrate trace fossils. All are very small (under 1 centimetre wide). I've attached some of my best pictures below. 1 - 6: Overlapping Planolites sp. closeups 7 - 11: Edaphichnium sp. 12 - 14: Taenidium sp. closeups 15 - 16: Taenidium sp. wide shots 17: Taenidium sp. closeup- 3 replies

Hello all. New user from central Maine. I found what I believe to be a fossil in the stream in my back yard. I used an app to identify the rock as limestone. Limestone is not native to my area, but there is a source in nothern Maine about 250km away. If it is limestone I would guess it was deposited during the last glaciation of the Laurentide ice sheet. It looks like a plant to me, a whole leaf maybe. The raised " stems" are hollow and there is the round ball ont the end. This round ball has two holes which is why i thought maybe a worm. These holes are tiny and symetrical, but only able to observe them with a jewelers loop. Thanks for any info.

Another newly described Cambrian critter - Spence shale worm
Wrangellian posted a topic in Fossil News
This one's name may be a little more imaginative than 'Burgessomedusa' from the recent article I posted: Shaihuludia shuriken. https://news.ku.edu/2023/08/03/paper-offers-glimpse-500-million-year-old-sea-worm-named-after-dune-monster Researcher names recently discovered 500-million-year-old sea worm after ‘Dune’ monster (msn.com)-

Hey everyone! I just joined to see if anybody would know what this is is. I was walking along a beach in New Jersey the other day looking for anything interesting, and I found a rock with some sort of hole in it. After looking a bit further it appears to be a burrow formed by some worm. The hole measures about a quarter of an inch in diameter and has lines that run the length of the tube. If anybody knows what formed it I would love to know. I apologize for not having centimeters on my ruler, I could only find one with inches.

So obviously it’s pretty poorly preserved but I’m pretty confident this is a worm (probably Fossundecima?) I’m just not 100% sure if im correct because of how hard it is to look at. Hope I’m not seeing things.

Earlier this week I had 2 concretions pop open that I weren’t too sure of what they were. Number one has the calcite desiccation cracks that are consistent with Achistrum sp. I guess the shape is what is kind of throwing me off, and the body seems to segmented, which reminded me of a millipede. Number 2 I cant really see any discernible features in it at all but if I had to guess a type of a polychaete worm? Anyway I’m gonna leave this to the experts lol. Any help is appreciated!

This fossil comes from east Pittsburgh. I believe the formation is the Casselman, Conemaugh Group, Pennsylvanian. It looks like a worm to me, but what do you think? Thanks.

Hello, everybody! I have been sorting through my wenlock limestone material, Middle Silurian and have a couple of personal problematica. I am wondering if any of you brilliant folks could help me out. Here is an object which seems to be an epibiont on a Favosites coral. 5 mm long and about 1.5 mm diameter at the widest. Is it a cornulitid ? Or a single corallite of Aulopora? Something else, maybe? And another one? On a solitary rugose coral. 3 mm x 1 mm. And an example of Aulopora from Wiki to compare : And a cornulitid that looks a bit similar : I would be very grateful for any help. Then there is this. Is it the worm Keilorites? Length 1.9 cm, width 2.5 mm max.
