Found in the side of a building in Wisconsin, Cambrian-Devonian rocks here. Any ideas? Thinking bivalves or a bivalved arthropod. Sorry for the lack of scale! Each one is about the size of an apple seed

Found in some Paleozoic chalk and limestone gravel along with crinoids and brachiopods.

Where can I buy or collect isopod fossils, or isopods stuck in amber? I'm located in Virginia.

I don't think I posted Larry yet, but here he is! Meet Larry the Lobster! He didn't look much like a crab. He looked more like the Lobster from sponge bob. The lobster was buff and this one looks pretty buff to me!

Help request! I am putting together a tool for judging rock age based on very crude, whole-rock, hand-sample observations of fossil faunas/floras -- the types of observations a child or beginner could successfully make. I view this as a complement to the very fine, species-level identifications commonly employed as index fossils for individual stages, biozones, etc. Attached is what I've got so far, but I can clearly use help with corals, mollusks, plants, vertebrates, ichnofossils, and the post-Paleozoic In the attached file, vibrant orange indicates times in earth history to commonly observe the item of interest; paler orange indicates times in earth history to less commonly observe the item of interest. White indicates very little to no practical probability of observing the item of interest. Please keep in mind that the listed indicators are things like “conspicuous horn corals,” purposefully declining to address rare encounters with groups of low preservation potential, low recognizability, etc. Got additions/amendments, especially for the groups mentioned above? Toss them in the comments below! Thank you..... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tVm_u6v573V4NACrdebb_1OsBEAz60dS1m4pCTckgyA- 5 replies

In the years of fossil hunting some fossils caught me by surprise especially the ones out of rough pieces that had no resemblance to nodules . These are some of my less common finds myriapods,arachnids, arthropleura tergite,shrimp carpace and the nymph idoptilus sp. I also found fish scales and flora though not as abundant as Mazon creek . Cheers John

Balanus cluster, and tall single balanus on Mytilus shell. The actual Balanus animal is a crustacean that wraps itself in the "barnacle shell" that we are all familiar with.
