I am fortunate enough to have such a huge amount of Middle Devonian Givetian material that I thought it best to put the older Middle Devonian stage, the Eifelian, in its own thread. There are some spectacular fossils here as well though! I thought a good place to start would be in the Formosa Reef, which I believe is quite early Eifelian. This tabulate coral and stromatoporoid reef continues similar complexes found from the Middle Silurian, see my: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/84678-adams-silurian/page/3/ thread from page three onwards for details. All these Formosa Reef specimens come from a delightful gift from my good friend @Monica who is a tad busy with life at the moment but is fine and still thinking of the forum. This outcrop can be found on Route 12 near Formosa/Amherstburg, Bruce County, Ontario, Canada. This beautiful-looking specimen came to me with only a third of it revealed but I managed to get it this far after nine days of painful pin prepping. Monica found another one and posted it for ID here: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/105528-weird-circular-imprints-formosa-reef-lower-devonian/#comment-1172285 The specimen was identified by another Canny Canadian @Kane to be the little stromatoporoid sponge Syringostroma cylindricum. Hardly a reef-builder, but gorgeous nonetheless. It does have a little thickness to it, but not much. Beautiful! Pretty thin, actually. I love this Monica, thank you!

I finished prepping this specimen recently, an unidentified Camarotoechia brachiopod. It exhibits an uncommon/rare orange coloration; only about 1/100 of Camarotoechia brachiopods show it. This one, though, unfortunately has some compression damage on the right side, and some of the ridges have pieces missing. The pictures below first show the pre-prep photo (which I finally remembered to take), and the post-prep. Thanks everyone for reading!

Fossil forum, Good morning. I have been looking for literature on the following for a while now, and have not been successful. I was wondering if anyone already had information on the following, or can direct me to a place where I can look for it myself. Brachiopods, specifically Lingulids (classification and identification) Salopina genus ( classification and identification), this genus was moved from Orthis, for further clarification Rhychonellida (classification and identification, at least to the genus level). Camarotoechia genus (classification and identification); Strophomena genus (classification and identification); Gastropods, specifically Platyceras (classification and identification) Bivalves, specifically Modiolopsis and related genera (classification and identification) Ptychopteria genus (also known as Actinopteria). I am also interested in the fauna of fossil formations in northeastern Maine, specifically the Edmunds, Eastport, and Leighton formations. Thanks in advance!

Found as surface float on the scree pile at the Windom exposure. Originally assigned to Rhynchonella prolifica, currently assigned to Camarotoechia. Appears to have been assigned to several genera over time, including Stenocisma and Cupularostrum. Refs: Linsley, D. M. Devonian Paleontology of New York.

My only complete speciman of Camarotoechia dryope, a Lower Devonian brachiopod from the Glenerie Limestone exposed along Route 9W between Kingston and Saugerties, NY. Both valves are attached and still open and close. DO NOT FEED!!!
