I've been working in rocks from the Middle Devonian Windom Shale of Central NY. Although I've found some different "fossils/marine invertrabrates". They are all "mud casts". These two are unknown to me. I posted some photos of my finds on another forum and someone came forward with a comment about the first of the two. It was "Guilielmites umbonatus Geinitz??" I tried looking on the internet and came up the the second photo, which looks similar to me...at the following link: Do you know similar case about pseudo fossil Guilielmites Geinitz ? (researchgate.net) But this article is from France...I can't seem to find an article from North America. Does anyone here happen to recognize them? Thanks Greg

Found in Kashong Member, Central NYS, Middle Devonian. Is this a Stereolasma rectum or is it too small to tell? Found alone in a small slab. I'm pretty sure it was broken off...but it must have been small to begin with. The tip measures approx. 1/16", it is 1/4" long and the top is approx. 3/16". Thanks Greg

Found: Tully Limestone, Central NY, Middle Devonian. I'm pretty sure it's a Bryozoan, no, maybe a coral...I don't know? Perhaps Atactotoechus fruticosus? Thanks Greg

This is a photo(color photos in the hand) of the specimen I found. Middle Devonian, Tully Limestone, Central NYS. I was told that it was a Phacopida Asteropygin, non described species, and was sent this other photo (non color) photo. I would like to get the id name straight. This is a quote from the preparer: "Greg trilobite was almost prepared we are another time in lock down... snarge... but in any case let me know if u wanna restoration parts were skin was missed.... i can resto in high quality but i need to find a good metacanthina to copy missed skin or medium quality apoxie and paint". I asked him to rather leave it natural. Thanks Greg

This was found in a bucket of fossils/rocks from the West side of Seneca Lake in Central NYS...Middle Devonian. I asked the guy that gave them to me for identification. At first he said "Eridphyllum subcaspitosum" and then wrote back and told me it could be a Bryozoan. It's a little weird because I see no "vertical striations" as I see in the books and online. The end of the main section as you can see is mangled, it's right branch end is closed, but it's left branch is rounded as is most of the fossil. Also, the bottom is open and round. I explain this as I see nothing in the centers that would indicate a coral. However, it seems to me that if it were a Bryozoan it would all be flattened. The second and third photo show it's right branch up close with some kind of nodule. It also seems to me that there are small "dot like holes" in the branches. The last photo shows the "end" of the main stem which starts out about 1/8" and increases to approx. 1/4" just before the mangle part. It's right branch is approx. 1" from tip straight to tip. Thanks Greg

Found in the Skaneateles Formation, Central NYS, Middle Devonian. This has four sides a pointed end and a broken end. All four sides have "shell grain"? There are "similar" shaped ones under Bi Valves in Wilson's book called Goniophora, but listed as Lower Devonian. There are several pages listed in Linsley's book, but no period mentioned. Thanks Greg
