    Pseudocenoceras

    From the album: Westphalian cretaceous fossils

    In southern munsterland basin it is sometimes possible to dig in cenomanian sediments. Fossils are rare, but sometimes real beauties like this fine, 4 cm "big" Nautiloide Pseudocenoceras
  2. Hi guys, I bought this ammonite at antique store, It measures 25 CM. Could anyone help me ID the fossil? Baja California, México. It could be pachydiscus? Thank you! Best regards!

    Lost River Easter egg hunt

    Went on a little "Easter Egg Hunt" with my folks, found some excellent fossils. day was hot but I enjoyed it. I have provided my best ID, but please feel free to correct if you can identify it further! it helps with my labeling system for sure. this lizard was good luck right next to where my mom was standing i noticed this beauty sticking out of the rock further excavation revealed this possible horn coral? eldredgeops rana heads trilobite glabellar fold ( possibly Odontocephalus?) Dipleura rib impression (Very exciting to have found 3 species in one trip!) amonoid Cephalopod Agoniatites vaxunemi (note the preservation of the sutre lines). and here is a conularid i found as well Possible pelecypod? brachiopods and lastly a couple of crinoid buttons dug out of the rock

    Upper Ordovician cephalopod

    From the album: Camille's fossils - Georgian Bay Formation

    Field collection by Camille Martin, April 4, 2022 The fossil offers a bit of an interior view of the cephalopod.

  5. Hello, would appreciate help with a fossil ID. Location found - Fergus Falls, MN. All rock pieces are from one larger piece that I broke apart. I removed some matrix with a Dremel tool to reveal more detail, but the "body" of these creatures were left untouched and are smooth in texture. The first six images of larger specimen has unique features on both sides. The smaller additional specimen along with the separate unfinished rocks seem to be the same creature, just more of them.

    Micro Bacculite?

    This is from Duck Creek formation in Tarrant county, not familiar with fossils from there so not sure what this is, looks very similar to a bacculite to me except for ridge running the length of it. Half cm long.
  7. This is about a 330 mya vampyropod, with soft body preservation, and an ancestor of octopuses. LINK TO ARTICLE

    Spyroceras
  9. It took some time, but thanks to Covid-19 (!! - see acknowledgements) its out now: A Systematic Study of upper Silurian (Ludfordian) Nautiloid Cephalopods from the Eggenfeld Section (Graz Palaeozoic, Styria, Austria) (pdf, external site) Here is my last visit to that site: Visiting some of the oldest fossils of Styria, Austria (Silurian orthocerids and brachiopods) - Fossil Hunting Trips - The Fossil Forum Best of all, some of my former specimens are pictured in that paper, especially some polished sections (see acknowledgements).

  10. Oxford clay, Peterborough Member, Jurassic, Callovian, Whittlesey in Cambridgeshire I collected this a few years ago, and I'm unclear whether it's a large cephalopod hook, or part of a fish, or something else entirely. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
  11. Looking for some info on this specimen from Eastern MO. Is this perhaps some sort of cephalopod impression partially replaced by calcite crystals? Thanks!
  12. Hi folks! I’m kind of stuck on this one. I presume this is a gastropod and not a cephalopod because of its small size (diameter around 2 cm). But what order, family, genus and species? Its found at Mt Billingen in Sweden, in a layer from middle Ordovician (middle to upper Darriwilian).

    Spyroceras?

    Hi everyone! I was going through my Swatara Gap fossils when I came across this specimen, which I had originally thought to be coral. However, it looks similar to pictures of Spyroceras I've seen. Can anyone help? The first picture shows the texture, the second picture is a cross section, and the third picture is an imprint on the other side of the rock that looks cephalopody.

    Belemnites

    From the album: Delaware Fossils

    Belemnitella americana showing internal molds. Upper Cretaceous Mt. Laurel Formation Delaware, USA It's not often one finds an internal mold of the guard where the internal texture is clearly visible. Although internal molds of other animals are common at this locality, any internal molds of belemnites are few and far between. Broken though it is, the lower specimen is one of my favorite belemnites.

    Bactrites sp.

    I've been cleaning up a few boxes with devonian fossils from the past few months and came around this nice little fellow. I cleaned him up and gave him a paraloid treatment to preserve the pyrite. It is a complete specimen of a Bactrites sp. from the Matagne shales ( Frasnian, late Devonian ) from Belgium, both phragmocone and body chamber are preserved. They are a little unusual, as the do not belong to the nautiloids as his first appearance might suggest but they have their own subclass and are considered to be the ancestors of the ammonids ( they have a ventral syphuncle like all the ammonoids ) Fragments of them often pop up from the shales, but I rarely find them complete. This one is going in the display cabinets

    Nostoceras draconis

    From the album: C&D Canal Micro Fossils

  17. Hi, all. I collected this specimen in the New Point Stone quarry, near Napoleon, Ind. It's Silurian, and was found in the Massie Shale. But I can't seem to find any information about it, specifically, the genus or species. The experts to whom I reached out were stumped. Any ideas, ladies and gentlemen?

    Very small cephalopod ?

    I found this on one of my hash plate, is it what I think it is, a very small cephalopod ?

    Large cephalopod from Graf

    I was collecting isorthoceras cephalopods at Graf Iowa (Elgin Member of the Maquoketa Formation, upper Ordovician). I found one partial specimen that in cross-section is about 8-9 times larger than any other I’ve found there. This first pic is from the field. (Don’t worry, the next photos have a scale cube in them!) The large specimen is about 8.9 cm by 5 cm. You can see cross sections of the usual-size isorthoceras in the rock (filled and infilled), and they’re closer to 1 cm across. Unfortunately, the specimen is fairly fragile. I’ve already had to glue together six pieces it fell apart into, and I haven’t been able to remove it from the matrix any further to get a better look at its sides. I’m wondering whether it’s an unusually large isorthoceras or a different animal altogether. Thoughts?

    Graf Curved Cephalopod

    I found this partial curved cephalopod at the famous cephalopod beds (Maquoketa Fm, Upper Ordovician) at Graf, Iowa last year. It is the only non-Isorthoceras cephalopod I have found from here in my several trips. The only other cephalopod I have seen described from this site is Beloitoceras, but I don't believe that is what my specimen is. Has anyone come across anything similar? Thanks for your thoughts.
  21. I found this piece by "popping" one of the "dishes" on a slab at Lang's Quarry in Ilion, NY several years ago. In this case, there is a bivalve-like fossil which was suggested to me was a cephalopod. Does anyone know the species of this fossil? I'd really like to learn more about it.
  22. Here are three views of a 9 mm "Peritrochia sp." Girty 1909. It was found at the Lost Creek Lake spillway in Jacksboro. This proves that even a broken, partial fossil is worth taking home. In the first position you see the elaborate suture pattern characteristic of these Goniatites on the outermost whorl preserved. Notice the slight horizontal groove near the bottom edge. As it turns to reveal the next whorl below you can see the siphuncle as a vertical line and the outer edge of a septum, or chamber wall, at the bottom. Turning into the innermost whorl the septum comes into view at the top and the siphuncle is visible again. Here you also see another shallow groove crossing horizontally. These "constrictions" are found on some Pennsylvanian Goniatites. Peritrochia.mp4
