I found this small "clam" last week at the Paulding Community Fossil Garden in Ohio. This specimen was found loose but likely came from the Silica Shale (Middle Devonian). It has a bivalve-y look, similar to the bivalve Mytilarca cordata which is known from here. However, the valves are not symmetric about the hinge line, although @Peat Burns suggested it could be a deformation. Any ideas are appreciated.

Would love help from middle Devonian shells. I know spiriferids are hard to ID but worth a shot asking experts!

This summer I was helping a youth group from church on a camp. The trip was to Kodiak Island for a week. Got lucky and was able to convince the group that a road trip to a distant beach was in order for a bit. Drive about 4 hours for a 2 hour beach stop. Unfortunately for me I was limited on time, didn't have the right equipment, and was in someone else's rig. So I wasn't able to really explore and collect much. But I brought home 2 nice chunks of matrix with lots of shells. The site has limited scientific printed information that I have located. it is Miocene in age. Photos of 1 block I carried out and 1 exposed sand dollar on a different block I brought home as well.

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.

Is this the inner whirl of an ammonite or something else? This was found in Northern Minnesota Coleraine Formation. Sorry limited photos as it was donated to the Hill Annex (mine) Palaeontology Project

Pretty sure this is both halves of the same specimen, they fit together perfectly. Berkley Co., SC

This is a fossil my father found and gave to me when I was six or seven years old. That was over 46 years ago...does that make me a fossil? I think it's a Plaesiomys subquadrata, with a small trilobite on the bottom.
