Could I have some help identifying these coral pieces which I found in Arkona? Any help would be appreciated.

These aren't my only finds but these are the "big" rocks that I have. I've found a lot of pet wood (no palm sadly) and a lot of agate (which ain't a fossil!) down here which is always a treat to find. Anyways here is the first picture of my collection, showing the overview.

I found this specimen in the bed of Stonelick Creek in Batavia Ohio. This heavily tumbled specimen was very unlike all of the other Ordovician limestone shale rocks in the bed. Presumably it arrived there through one of three modes: 1) the creek carried it from a more distant source, 2) it could possibly have been carried by a glacier, or 3) Native Americans formerly lived there and it could be a manuport. At first I thought it might have been a meteorite but alas it I concluded it was a fossil due to the low iron content, the relatively low density and the bubbly nature of the specimen. The specimen is about 6 inches long and images coral1 and coral2 display the side and top of the specimen respectively. From the Atlas of Ordovician Life I suspect it is a tabulate coral of the syringophyllidae family and the Calapoecia genus. Is this reasonable? I would appreciate any comments.

Hi! I’ve found a good amount of fossil shells and coral today. Some I’ve been able to search on this site an others for an ID. But there are a few I’m not sure of and also might not be shells or coral at all. I’ll list some pics below. Any help is appreciated!

Hello! I found this rock on a former river bed in a forest in Romania. If it helps, the rock type in this area is from pleistocene. I tried finding a simillar one with the same pattern and color but couldn’t find one. Thank you in advance! .

My 14yr old daughter picked this out of the hillside about 100’ above creek level. We have property in the Slippery Rock gorge area of Western Pennsylvania. I’d like to give her an idea of what it is specifically and round about age if possible. I love her enthusiasm. This is her first find. The entire piece is roughly the size of my palm. Thank you.

Semi-micro fossils (echinoid, shell, bryozoans, others) from Aireys Inlet, Victoria, Australia (Oligocene)
Oli_fossil posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi all, Following up from my previous thread (https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/139153-sea-urchins-sand-dollars-and-brachiopods-aireys-inlet-victoria-australia/), I returned to the same site (Aireys Inlet, Victoria, Australia) and closely inspected the fine, freshly eroded material on the sandstone platform/overhang (presuming ~20-25Mya), finding a number of interesting semi-micro fossils (1-5mm in size). Would appreciate any thoughts and ID! Will post in separate posts for clarity. First off, this beautiful little echinoid, ~3mm in diameter:

These fossils are from old coast defences. They are probably from the region around Tournais, the type locality of the Tournaisian. Can someone help me to ID these? I cant find any good literature to ID these. thanks. Jasper

I purchased this little rugose horn coral from a fossil, crystal and mineral dealer in Spain a few years back. The label is definitely wrong i at least that it should be Tryplasma loveni. I have T, loveni from the British Much Wenklock Limestome Formation and it looks rather different to this and I don't know of the species nbeing found in Morocco, The specimen doesn't look anything like any Ordovician coral I know, so may be Silurian. Most horn corals in Morocco are Devonian. But this does sort of look Silurian in the colour of its preservation, but that's not a great way to tell. It may not even be from Morocco, maybe Spanish, they sometimes say it's from Morocco as you are not supposed to collect, sell or export fossils in Spain, I think, so they sometimes change the country of origin. I have looked about a bit on the net but cannot find anything that matches, though I think I have seen the species before somewhere. Here are some better photos: Very pointed base: The top: Any guesses most welcome. Tarquin @TqB? Any ideas? Thank for looking everyone.

Crows Feet? I’ve seen these in limestones but not in dolostones. Plenty of bits and pieces. I think Favosites and molds of crinoid columinals. More crinoid molds and both brachiopod molds and bits and pieces. Very very crystalized. But fun challenge.

Hello everyone! I'm typically a Cretaceous collector but spent the last month in Long Beach Island (LBI) New Jersey so I figured while I'm there, I would do some serious collecting. These fossils are glacier deposited Paleozoic specimens. Overall, I probably spent around 30 hours collecting. My biggest surprise was the trilobite imprint (picture 1) however, I was also pleasantly surprised by the number of crystalized/geode specimens. Here my my favorites from the trip.

Hi I’m wondering if anyone can help me ID these 2 fossils I picked up. I was told they were starfish tentacles or some type of tentacle. They are not goat horns or animal horns as I am familiar with that. I cannot find any info??
