Hello TFF friends! During the summer, in August I was able to take a trip to northwestern PA to collect some fossils at various locations. One of them had many different types of trace fossils which I did not collect (something I regret doing as those ichnofossils were quite interesting and beautiful), but I also found this piece, it is a thin sandstone piece containing multiple bivalve steinkern a from 1 to about 2.5cm in length. I am not sure what formation it was, the closest I can think of that is present in the area is Lock Haven but that one mostly has brachiopods and I didn't

While I was on vacation in the Outer Banks in North Carolina, I picked this up while collecting seashells. I was hoping maybe someone on here would be able to tell me what it is. The rock itself is about 4cm long, while the shell that was impressed in it is about 2cm wide, and 2.5cm long. I'm not 100% on it being a bivalve, but in person it looks too asymmetrical to be a brachiopod.

I've made two posts recently with requests to help id white rocks that were suggested as possibly bivalve. I've been finding rocks like these in the same places as the white ones. They caught my eye because they looked like they had been painted. Up close, the one in posting has a lot going on, but different than the others. It may just be a rock. Help is greatly appreciated

I found this piece by "popping" one of the "dishes" on a slab at Lang's Quarry in Ilion, NY several years ago. In this case, there is a bivalve-like fossil which was suggested to me was a cephalopod. Does anyone know the species of this fossil? I'd really like to learn more about it.

This morning I split this shale (technically it fell apart on me), and found this interesting little fossil. I was thinking that there was a possibility of it being a phyllocarid valve, but I have never seen one. This also raises a question that I have been wondering - how do you differentiate between a phyllocarid and a bivalve valve when the tail is absent? What raised my suspicions on this specimen are the raised bumps on the external mold and the depressions on the cast. The pictures below are of the specimen. The first shows the cast/internal mold, and the second the externa

Hi ! My girlfriend noticed some fossils from a cimetery wall just next to my appartment (which is located in a suburb really near Paris). Thanks to some geology museum in Paris, we identified this limestone to be from Lutetian. It also happens that the fossils can be directly picked off the rock by hand without damaging the wall. So we got a few of them. Here is what we found : I believe most of them are Sigmesalia, except for the bivalves which I suspect Crassatella. There are two specimen though that draw my attention : I don't think they are from t

Hi, new to the forum, found this in my aggregate in my drive, Norfolk uk. Seems too well detailed to be real. Any help appreciated.

Hello friends! I've had some time to sort through, organize and take photos of fossils from my recent trip to DSR. I have also attempted to ID some of my finds using Lindsey's Devonian Paleontology of NY but have found doing so with the bivalves especially difficult, I'm not sure if that is up to me not having experience with then, them being generally harder to differentiate or a bit of both. Starting off with the lophophorates: 1. This brachiopod is a Chonetid, I initially just thought that it was Devonchonetes which is common at the site but looking closer it looked much more
