From the album: Pioche Formation
Two uncommon bugs, if only it weren’t just the cranidium! The orytocephalites cranidium is truly miniscule, it's located towards the bottom of the screen in the center - underneath the larger ptychopariid molt piece. -

How Fossiliferous are Cambrian Period Rock Formations in Illinois
Joseph Fossil posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I've recently been looking over the geologic formations in Illinois and I found one that's a bit interesting - it's a Cambrian period outcrop but it seems to be a bit small, only found in parts of Ogle and Lee County, Illinois. http://ebeltz.net/firstfam/1stfam.html https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/1202269 https://ilstratwiki.web.illinois.edu/index.php/Cambrian_System I haven't heard of a lot of fossils coming from this area so I'm wondering if anyone's been fossil hunting in that region of Illinois before and how common are Cambrian Fossils from Illinois's Ogle and Lee Counties?- 8 replies

Hello, I thought this was just a crinoid plate when I found it in a creek in Southern Ontario, Canada. Georgian Bay formation. But when I cleaned it up, I noticed these bits radiating out from the central column of these examples. I thought maybe Dickinsonia but I read they were not in Canada. Does anyone recognize these? The big ones shown are about 3cm each. Feels like sandstone. These are the best images I could get with the phone, apologies. thanks in advance!

Hi I came across this while hunting for trilobites at a commercial Cambrian shale quarry in Utah near Delta and was wondering if it was a monoplacophoran or something else or just an odd rock formation. The shape is concave and about 2 inches in diameter. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
