Brachiopods. -
Hi brachiopod lovers I wonder, is someone in this forum interested in exchanging fossils? Maybe this is an interesting proposal for you: I have devonian brachiopods from France, Belgium and Germany and some nice ones from the jurassic of Spain to offer. There are a few miscellaneous fossils too, for example neogene and devonian gastropods, shark teeth from Germany and cretaceous echinoids from Spain. I´m looking for devonian brachiopods, without any preferences. (But any other devonian fossils are welcome too). If you´re interested, just send me a PM. The attached pictures show only some examples, there are 56 pictures with 43 different brachiopod-taxa. I prepared a small google-album and i will give you the link ;-) Cheers, Nils

JefferyP and I went to a Paleocene site just over the boarder in to Ocean County N.J. for some invertebrate collecting. The Vertebrates are very very fragile and can brake apart very easily . So after much attempt..I decided to try to dig out a rather large chuck or block of matrix that had the most abundant amount of shells in it which was the more brownish sandy layer just above the sandy greenish with more glauconite then above,,,which made it much easyer because the layer below was rather harder. While digging I came to the conclusion that I wasn't going to get both sides or valves from the same individual and like I mentioned above I just pull out a few large blocks and took it home with me and see what I can find. Out of the first block I found a bunch brac's and placed the better ones aside and I decided to expose the shells still in the second block as best I can with doing the slightest amount of damage . So Far this is what its looking like. Jeff mention that this will be a good display piece and I totally agree with him.....So A display piece it will be.....Thanks Jeff ...Great Idea..

it cI didnt post much here because i didnt had much time and the weather was simply too bad to hunt. But last week i managed to hunt in some nice quarries in Bavaria and found many fossils ! First I want to share my finds and pictures from the quarry Ludwag. There exist two quarries, I was in the old Ludwag 2. You can find fossils from the upper Jurassic period. This was my first visit there and i must say that i enjoyed it Not only because of the various finds also because of the beautiful landscape ... Some pictures of the quarry: I collected in the lower areas: My finds: Ammonites are very common there but today you can only find small ones ... I found many: A bigger one with 3.5 cm. This is one is well preserved and i think it could be a Orthosphinctes sp. (?). Another 2.5 cm long one: But i dont want to show only ammonites ! I also find other interesting fossils, for example this interesting oyster. Arctostrea sp.: (2cm)

Yesterday i was in the nice quarry Moldenberg near Heidenheim. There you can find many fossils from the White jurassic. I found some bivalves, different types of brachiopods and also some crinoid stems. But i will post the whole trip with more finds and also with pictures of the location later .... I just have a question regarding this strange thing: Its 0.75 cm long and about 0.3 cm thick. It has also a very strange structure like you can see on the photos .... maybe a part of a starfish ? I have never seen something else before .... hopefully someone can help me ! Some more pictures: Thanks for your help !

On the 26.12.2016 i was in the quarry Moldenberg near Heidenheim an der Brenz. There you can find fossils from the white jurassic. Besides of this highlight: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/70839-what-is-this/ I also found many brachiopods, bivalves, crinoid stems, bryozoans ... First some pictures of the quarry: Its was a very cold and dark day so shadefully they are not that nice... Now the "real" quarry: And the view on a part of the city Heidenheim:

Is there much known about epibionts growing on Brachiopods. As I think i may be discovering a few examples showing this . Would anyone else have any examples please.

Hey all, I haven't found my trilobite source yet, but I did find this neat hashplate. It comes from a creek in White Sulphur Springs, WV and is probably Devonian. I haven't seen shells this small before. I'm guessing they're brachiopods, but otherwise I have no idea what they might be. I couldn't get a clear picture with a scale included, but the largest shell is a little under 1/4". This photo is the closest I can get to the piece and still be in focus. Any ideas? Thanks

New project I'm working on prepping. I grabbed this plate from Penn Dixie earlier in the season, and it's just loaded with bits of all different things. I've taken it on as a long term projects to prep out this section as best as possible exposing as much as possible. I don't have an actual before photo, because I didn't think it was worth photographing until I started playing with it. I will keep updates as I go!

I traveled to check out the very first outcrop that I collected at a young age. The Nancy Member of the Borden Formation, lower Mississippian in age adjacent to Cave Run lake in Rowan County, KY. These are VERY large outcrops that when I was younger I climbed around like a mountain goat. Now I just look in the float. As typical of other trips I found abundant straight nautiloids (Michelinoceras). A few coiled nautiloids, two nice brachiopods and two nice gastropods including a rare left coiled gastropod (Only the third one I have ever found.)
