Fall promises to be spectacular in many ways. If you dream of colors, you will like the following. I like fossil hunting in the fall, although it's not really hunting, the fossils are underwater so it's more like fishing. Anyway, this is one of my many trips to this place, it's not very far and it allows me to go for a weekend nature walk. This is Ordovician, the site is not as beautiful or rich in fossils as the other sites we see in this forum, but it is rich in brachiopods, crinoids, bryozoans and gastropods. This time, I chose a theme to showcase my special finds of the day.

Does anyone have any idea what kind of brachiopod this could be? I'm sure we can't identify the species, but maybe the family or even the genus? Carboniferous Serpukhovian Bear Gulch Montana

From the album: My collection in progress
Cyrtospirifer verneuilli Murchinson 1840 Location: Barvaux-sur-Ourthe, Wallonia, Belgium Age: 382 - 372 Mya (Frasnian, Upper Devonian) Measurements: 6,6x3,5 cm Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Brachiopoda Subphylum: Rhynconelliformea Class: Rhynconellata Order: Spiriferida Family: Cyrtospiriferidae -
Hi fellow fossil collector, can you identify this brachiopod for me? I recently found a very different brachiopod, where I usually collect my fossils in an Upper Ordovician formation (Click here to see the site). I can easily find hundreds of swerbyella, but this fossil is very different from what I usually find, its huge size, 3 times larger than any fossil i usually find, and its different shape puzzles me. It measures approximately 3cm x 2.5cm. It also has intriguing concentric protuberances composed of a primary and secondary shell on external shell surface. As you

Ordovician, Nicolet River Formation, Sowerbyella
Denis Arcand posted a gallery image in Members Gallery
From the album: Fossil Art
This picture was taken as is, it was not photoshopped, everything is real in the picture. Only the contrast has been adjusted a little bit. I took this picture at a small beach where the fossils are underwater, so I literarily fish for the fossils. You can read my two articles on the subject by clicking on the following links: The day I went fishing for fossils (part I) The day I went fishing for fossils (part II)-

My first post was so popular that I decided to do a second. I went to the same place, and found more many rich and colorful fossils, and got enough material to write to you about it. For those who missed my first post, you will find it HERE As you will see in this article, I combine my two passions, collecting fossils and color photography. I love color, creating black and white photographs of fossils is good for scientific research, when you are a paleontologist and want to record the small details for science and posterity. But for people who are just starting to explore the wor

Dive Into an Ordovician Ocean—Trilobites—And a Rare Find
FossilSniper posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
On July 1st, 2021, I went for the first time to a public, personal site and was very pleased with the results of my fossil excursion. The locale consists of several exposed formations, namely the Liberty formation I was hunting in. In my region of southwestern Ohio, that's known to be one of the best fossil-hunting formations due to its remarkable preservation of particularly fragile Ordovician life, even when compared to the excellent fossil preservation quality of other formations in the area. The thirty-three degrees Celsius heat was rather hot by itself, and as the sun's rays- 4 replies

My collection of some really cool fossils on the land most of the fossils I have in my collection are bought so it’s always nice to find something actually in the field. Now my main goal with this post is to try to identify the trilobite I found today although it only has the head piece, it clearly shows the eye and part of the gabella. The horn coral which are the sort of conical fossils should help identify the age of the rocks. if anyone else can give an ID on the rest of the fossils that would help thanks. By the way these were all found in Dane County, Wisconsin. (PS) I have no clue what

Hi I broke open a rock in southwest Wisconsin, and I found this collection of brachiopods. Can anyone try to tell me what genus they are? Each of them are around 2 cm long.

I've had some difficulty narrowing down the identity on some assorted brachiopods. The diagnostic features may not be preserved but I figured I'd post them here to see if anyone knew. @Tidgy's Dad Any ideas? The first is a single large valve from the Warsaw Formation in Fenton, Missouri (The old Meramec Bridge site). I've been able to track down most species reported from here and identify everything else but this one is harder. The wear doesn't help. The second are a couple o Echinoconchidae valve casts in chert from a creek in Lincoln County, Missouri. It

Request for feedback on fossil field guide visual layout
pefty posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I'm working up a series of fossil field guides for various formations. I'd like to provide a visual indicator of which fossils are rare, which are common, and which are abundant, without getting in the way of the visual layout of the fossils & identifying information. The complete set of categories I am working with is {Abundant, Common, Rare, Very Rare, Common to Abundant, Rare to Abundant, Rare to Common, Present, and Questionable}. Has anyone seen a good way that a field guide of any kind has provided such a visual indicator as a page-wide element of visual layout? Attached is my first- 13 replies

I found this beauty yesterday in a gravel in central Poland, so it's an ice age gift from Baltic Sea or Scandinavia, Ordovician or Silurian in age. Any ideas? I'm thinking... maybe a billingsellid of some sort? I'm not good at Palaeozoic brachiopods.

These were collected at DSR during the TFF hunt last year. I am just getting around to processing the specimens. It's amazing that the diversity of bivalves I acquired was greater than the brachiopods! First, a picture of the site: Now the brachiopods (scale in mm):

Paleo Society access to Treatise on Invert Paleo
Wendell Ricketts posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Though I have a feeling I'm going to be embarrassed for asking what turns out to be obvious, but: I was hoping someone would be willing to give me a hand getting access to the 2007 Suppl. to Part H (Brachiopoda), Vol. 6 of the Treatise. The archives only appear to go back to 2010. Do Paleontological Society members not have access to earlier volumes? Thanks! Wendell -
Help request! I am putting together a tool for judging rock age based on very crude, whole-rock, hand-sample observations of fossil faunas/floras -- the types of observations a child or beginner could successfully make. I view this as a complement to the very fine, species-level identifications commonly employed as index fossils for individual stages, biozones, etc. Attached is what I've got so far, but I can clearly use help with corals, mollusks, plants, vertebrates, ichnofossils, and the post-Paleozoic In the attached file, vibrant orange indicates times in earth history to com

I found this apparently silicified pedicle valve as an erratic boulder. The age is unknown, but presumably Ordovician or Silurian. Provenance of Baltica (found in Poland, but in gravel parking lot). Any clues on the order? The rest of the shell is hardly preserved. Can you help to verify my anatomical identifications?

This is a plate of Productus brachiopods with spines collected from marine sedimentary brown-red clay shale, which sits on a bed of breccia limestone. Location is slope above rest-stop on east side of Highway 89 N about two miles north of Riceville Rd. in central Montana. Was collected on Jan 21,2019. Prep work was done by collector David C. Powers.
