I've been looking and pulverized rock under a microscope and have found some interesting items. The first image is possibly a fish jaw, followed by a possible shark spine fragment. Any ideas on those 100% or the rest? Thanks.

trying to figure out if this is all one fossil or two separate ones
Brian James Maguire posted a topic in Fossil ID
hi guys, need some help again as to what is going on with this fossil, i had one part of it on here before and it was suggested it was a solitary coral but i prepped out some more of it today and to my surprise it looks like the new part i found is connected to the first, , both seem to have a spicule visible, as always your help would be greatly appreciated, i included a video as it is hard to get it all in photos as it is spiraled around the rock Video.mov- 2 replies

I've been looking for this sponge fossil for quite a while. This is the first one I've found. Even though the name is sunflower Coral it is a sponge not a Coral.

Hi I am Wondering if anyone could give this fossil an ID the seller called it “Carboniferous Eurypterid” and it was from Knob Noster, Missouri they said it could be Adelophthalmus what do you guys think? The first picture is the fossil the second 2 are Adelophthalmus fossils found from the same location

I’m probably getting close to my question limit for today, yet I can’t stop thinking about the pattern on the rocks. Are they trace fossils or just pretty iron staining? I’m headed back to where I collected these (Crane Hill, AL) tomorrow & it would be nice to be able to explain to my nieces. I was thinking about Graptolites, though I can’t match up the patterns to those I see in my books. Google search of pic 1/2 pulls up Stromatolites. Pic 3 is the back of pic 1/2 pic 4 includes more examples Thanks for looking.

I starting photographing some of the micro shark remains we’ve found in our matrix searches. I’m taking a break from fossils for awhile and from TFF so I wanted to get some of these posted. The ID’s are educated guesses based on publications I’ve read. I’m open to other suggestions. This originally started as a way to add some Devonian shark material but has really been a fantastic learning experience too. We’ve added some fossils to the collection for sure and some hard to find early shark genera. The knowledge gained is the big thing and it has been super fun. Few complete teeth and difficult to photograph with the equipment I have access to but you should get the general idea. We will start with the oldest first. Genundewa Limestone Devonian (Givetian) Eighteen Mile Creek Erie County Eden New York Phoebodus sp. Partial teeth are common in this matrix. We’ve found quite a few. This is small selection. Hard to photograph. This will be a fun shark to talk about. Very strange and similar to a modern Frilled Shark.

Penniretopora grandis AKA Glauconome Grandis - Carbonifirous Bryozoa
Spookwoman posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Irish Coral algae and Bryozoan
Updated not ichthyorachis newenhami but Penniretopora grandis aka Glauconome GRANDIS found at Hook head Lighthouse Co Wexford Ireland - Carbonifirous Bryozoa. Glauconome GRANDIS. M'Coy. (PL XXVIII. fig. 3). Sp. Ch.—Stem less than twice the thickness of the lateral branches; lateral branches rather more than the width of the midrib apart, obscure ; lateral branches carinate, and bearing two alternating rows of very small, round, prominent pores, which indent the margin slightly ; the stem is obscurely carinate, and has usually two rows of small, round, prominent pores, which do not alternate, or reach the margin ; one at the origin of each lateral branch, and three between one branch and the next. The small size, and great number of the pores distinguish this from every other species of Glauconome I know. It is a very large species. Length of imperfect specimen one inch nine lines ; length of lateral branches two lines ; diameter of midrib about half a line. Collected by Mr. Charles B. Newenham of Cork, who kindly presented the specimen figured. http://www.thefossil...-carboniferous/
