I know nothing about fossils. I found some things in my garden and trying to determine if they are fossil or rock

Where are the best places to fossil hunt in New York?
emmag15 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
As the snow will start to clear soon, I’ve been looking into new places to hunt for fossils in New York! If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them and visit them! Thank you in advance! -
To celebrate the end of the semester, I decided to finally take the 2 hour trip down to the Paulding Fossil Gardens. The weather sucked as most of you in the Midwest probably noticed, but I managed to get a few hours in between storms. This made everything a bit flooded, but I wasn't too concerned.

Hello all, I have some brachs in my collection that I have not identified yet, any insight would be great. I believe at the bottom is a Devonian Mucrospirifer but I am not sure the other two look like some Jurassic ones I have seen. Also if anyone knows any texts where I could get information about all kinds of brachiopods and especially Paleozoic ones I would love it if you shared it here as I really want to get to know these amazing animals better. Thank you,

With the Belgian Asociation for Paleontology we made an excursion to the quarry at Soignies. The rock exists out of mixing layers of hard limestone and softer claystone. The quarry is rich in carboniferous fauna with corals, brachiopods and two species of trilobites. When entering the quarry we were welcomed by a young peregrine falcon who was flying next to the high stone wall, which was awesome. It was beautiful weather and the quarry contains a variety of fossils. I'm happy I was able to collect a diversity of organisms that represent the Tournaisian periode. I also found more trilobites on this day than in my whole carreer as a fossil hunter... I found exactly two pieces Caninia sp. (Michelin, 1840) Cummingella belisama (HAHN, HAHN & BRAUCCKMANN, 1985) Leptaena analoga (Phillips, 1836) Michelina favosa (Goldfuss, 1826) Calcite? Cummingella belisama (HAHN, HAHN & BRAUCCKMANN, 1985)

This sample is little more than a couple of centimeters. I was wondering if it's a brachiopod and if so, is it a pentamerida?

This year I pulled the trigger on heading to Penn Dixie for the Dig With the Experts weekend! Definitely would highly recommend . I drove up from Boston to the Buffalo area on Thursday and spent the day Friday digging with @Malcolmt and @JamesAndTheFossilPeach. It was a blast! Thanks again guys for giving me a lay of the land. Credit to @JamesAndTheFossilPeach for the find of the day with a giant Eldredgeops (pic below). Saturday and Sunday were spent looking for trilobites in the roped off Dig With the Experts section of excavated shale with some success. Monday I drove back to Boston, and stopped to stretch my legs in Glenerie, NY to walk a stretch of road looking for Devonian brachiopods and gastropods. Got a couple! All in all, a great trip... although I'm nice and sore . Here are my takeaways from the weekend. I tried to get a bit of the entire Penn Dixie Ecosystem keeping at least one of everything and as many trilobites as I could find. I wish I took more pictures Saturday and Sunday, but I was too busy splitting shale . Cheers, Barret

Is this an atrypa? What part of the anatomy am I looking at?

I have had this brachiopod for 2 years and would like to prep it out. It would be nice to know what it is first so I can envision how it sits in the matrix. Cedar Valley Formation??

I was able a few years back able to visit south central New York state in Owego. A cousin took me out for some hiking and I ended up dragging a bunch of rock home with me. While walking around Pumpelly creek I found these pieces which I hope to ID now that I'm finally getting back into my fossil grove. My questions are 2: 1st from description of area, what is age / formation likely in that area? And 2nd, if anyone has ID for these or can point me to a good reference I would appreciate it. Thanks for looking

Back in May 2017, I brought back some nice fossil plates from Ohio, I believe Ordovician in age. First photo is plate 1. Next photo (of plate 1) shows a close-up of parts of the trilobite Isotelus, next photo - a nautiloid (unknown species), next photo shows valves of the brachiopod Strophomera, along with many bryozoan fossils. Next photo is a close-up of crinoids on plate 3. (Not much on plate 2). And last photo is of quite a few crinoids on plate 4.

ID please, I think I found a brachiopod.

Much of this past week has felt less like a winter break and more like a switch from school work to government work. It seemed like many a day this week slowly chugged along, clogged by bureaucratic paperwork, followed by some bureaucratic paperwork, topped off with...more bureaucratic paperwork. As I'm sure many of you can understand, this left me a little restless. Having only the internet to provide you much of any entertainment will only last you so long. Thus, I decided today would need some much-needed paleo zest. A couple of days back I was scanning through Fossil hunting videos on YouTube, looking for new things to do (or watching the Ditch Weasel's Megalodon tooth hunting videos for the billionth time). Then I came across a video I hadn't watched in a long time, about a mysterious GA site I had never been to before. With a quick look in the description and comment section, I learned that it was near Dalton. With this in mind, I Googled "Dalton Fossils". To my surprise, the first result was a trip report @Nimravis wrote a little more than a year ago: With GPS coordinates now saved to Google Maps, My step grandpa and I headed out, partly guided by my phone's robotic voice. We arrived at the site, greeted by a thick fog: I put on waterproof boots, grabbed my hammer and chisel, and crossed the street to begin my search for Silurian treasures from the Red Mountain Formation. When we crossed the street, going around the leftmost portion of the wall (parking lot perspective), We heard a rustling off to the right. A decent sized Boulder slid down from the top of the hill, taking a decent chunk of dirt with it. In the end, it was a relatively small event, but we kept an eye out in case of other potential instabilities in the rock face. At entrance, facing the direction the mine lankslide occured Full attention on finding fossils, it didn't take very long at all to find some brachiopod plates.

Hey, I posted my trip to California from Washington yesterday. I have now looked through my rocks and noticed that one of these rocks are different from the rest. I took a picture of the Buchia Bivalve in the first image, to show that it has a different shape and markings than the bivalves I found there. If anyone can give me a genus that would be great. Is this another shell or something more? Thanks guys

Unknown brachiopod, looking for an ID. Any & all help is appreciated!

This weather has got me a bad case of cabin fever, my normal fossil hunting ground along the Whitewater River in Southeast Indiana is flooded. Went out in my back yard today to look thru the two truck loads of leach line gravel I bought for landscaping, the quarry is only about a 1/4 mile away. Found this odd ball, thin layers of crystal like formations on both sides, has hollow cavities and some brachiopod fossils that are a red color. Just curious as to how it formed, wish I could get closer photos of the brachiopods, will try again tomorrow with some daylight....if the sun ever shines again LOL.

Found these in Emmitsburg, but the lake was supposed to be fresh water?

I've been preparing some things from the Late Jurassic Kimmeridgian for a friend, including a number of Colosia zietini brachiopods. Particularly after they were abraded, I noticed a lot of tiny circular forms on all of them and now I'm wondering what their origin might be, whether mineral or organic dissolution phenomena or whatever? I'm thinking maybe some little things had been attached? Or are they mineralogical? Any ideas?

I found this brachiopod as float on the side of the road. It was very near the transition of Devonian to Mississippian Lodgepole Formation in Little Belt Mountains, in Montana. The fossils is large. I'm thinking it might be a spiriferida.
