I find a lot of these guys, they look almost like little barrels. They leave an imprint on their flat side that looks similar to an ammonite. I have no idea what they are, I was thinking some sort of isopod but I can't seem to find info about them anywhere. They vary widely in size. I can take better pictures if anyone needs them

Found in central KY, I assume it's a shell but I'd like to know more

Lyme Regis crustacean fossil- Which stratum would this originate from?
Paleoworld-101 posted a topic in Questions & Answers
This fossil crustacean was collected in England on the foreshore between Lyme Regis and Charmouth, amongst the algae-covered large boulders that are exposed at low tide. It looks to be in some kind of phosphatic nodule. The cream-colour of the matrix is quite unlike the dark Jurassic rocks that make this region famous. I was thinking it is unlikely to be from the Jurassic layers, and probably originates from the overlying Cretaceous sequences higher up in the cliffs? Both Gault Clay and Upper Greensand (Albian in age) unconformably sit above the Jurassic beds. Does anyone know which of these d -
Hi all! Talk about pure luck, on my second trip to pit 11 ever, I found this crawfish(?)! It was in 3 pieces and I was lucky enough to find all 3. Needless to say I super excited…I’d have to guess it’s pretty a rare find. It cleaned up really well after a few 25% vinegar baths and the slightest brushing with a very soft artist paint brush. When it split at some point, part of the top didn’t separate with it, it was covering the tail which I reallllllly wanted to see . I noticed a small crevice on the side of the concretion and figured I might be able to get the imperfect separation to pop off.

The Photos attached are of the second of 5 fossils I have been unable to identify in the last 2 years. This fossil has been found on the shores of Lake Huron, in the Grey Bruce county area in Ontario, Canada. I’d like to know what species you think this shell fossil belongs to. I know little about fossils but find them fascinating. Thanks for your help in advance.

What I believe to be a carpus of the major chela of a ghost shrimp. Not an unusual find for me, but this was found near an exposure of Pittsburgh Bluff formation where previously I have only found them in Astoria formation.

ID help. Crustacean, mollusk, or something else? Upper carboniferous.
Gramps posted a topic in Fossil ID
I have found several of these in an outcropping of shale and limestone in the Iola Formation in Northeastern Oklahoma (middle Pennsylvanian). The longest dimension is about 15 mm (≈ 5/8 inch). Some of the other specimens are slightly larger, but all have the same pattern of bumps. (I photographed this one because it shows the least wear.) I’m wondering it might be the carapace of a phyllocarid or some other crustacean. Alternatively, it might be a bivalve or other mollusk. Any help with ID would be appreciated. Focus and exposure were difficult, so there are several images. Best wishes. -
Long time ago we dug near Osnabrück (NW-Germany) in a small short-time pit called "Am Danebrock". It was full of ammonites (Androgynoceras was the most common), we got rare vertebrate-parts from there, shells, snails and and and. Fossils were preserved in nodules. One of these contained a lobster, it was the first one of this typus ever found in northern Germany. I gave it to the Museum in Stuttgart and wrote with famous Günther Schweigert a small paper about it (I did the geological setting, what was only 5% of this paper) First_record_of_a_polychelid_lobster_Crusta-

Strange Finds from the Austin Ozan. A Test for the Ozan Experts.
EPIKLULSXDDDDD posted a topic in Fossil ID
I decided to take a trip to an Ozan spot after some rain a couple weeks ago. The gravel finds were sparse, but I fortunately remembered to bring some of my trusty excavating tools with me from Dallas to Austin. After the trek to the main exposure at this site, I got to scouring the shaly creek bed. In previous trips, I usually didn't spend much time doing this as I had limited tools for digging. With some newly acquired technology by my side, I encountered a facet of this location I hadn't experienced before. A lot of the fossils that preserve in this formation are too fragile to survive once -
Found in some Paleozoic chalk and limestone gravel along with crinoids and brachiopods.
