Could these be compression fossils of Paleozoic invertebrates (such as someone of the strange shrimp-like creatures)? Crane Hill, AL Carboniferous Thanks for looking.

I got a box of micro matrix from PaleoCris - Bone Valley Formation from Florida and I am STUNNED by the beautiful colors and preservation! I knew Bone Valley stuff was good...but wow. And he threw in some "extra" fossils of a nice big echinoid and a claw of some thing...maybe extinct armadillo. I still havn't gone through all the matrix, but wanted to show ya'll some of the nice stuff: All are around 1/8 inch - 1/4 inch This crazy Fish tooth plate - Labrodon sp. I think this is Baracuda? I love the little ray teeth Rhynchobatus. Sadly, this one

Jurassic, Callovian, Oxford Clay, Peterborough Member, Yaxley, Cambridgeshire I've found a few of these recently, and been trying to puzzle them out. I had thought they might be crab claws. Today I found my largest and best preserved one so far. I can clearly see plates, but I haven't found plates on images of Jurassic crustaceans, including in Martill. What it more looks like is the diagram of Ophiuroids in the book, which is what @JamieLynn, suggested might be the case, due to the plates. I have found brittle star at the site before,

Since Thanksgiving I'd only been out collecting once. Snow and cold, car repair, work, and other personal matters effectively kept me out of the field. Finally, yesterday I was able to get back out again. I wasn't waiting for ideal conditions and it was COLD!!!!! Temperature only reached 38 degrees and there was little sun for warmth. Winter collecting for me is usually the Cretaceous brooks of Central New Jersey, two hours south of where I live in New York City's northern burbs. Most of the time I go with frankh8147, a great companion, but unfortunately not free that day. He was out collectin

Pygocephalomorph crustaceans? What species? I found hundreds of these today, it's funny as I have not even seen these in this location before and today they where everywhere. Also found some mesosaur material, not the best specimens. These fossils are found in the early to middle permian Ecca group which is a part of the Karoo super group. Today I was just thinking how blessed I am to have a variety of different aged formations so close to home. I live in the heart of the Devonian bokkeveld and witteberg group which forms part of the cape supergroup, there are Mio-Plio-pleistocene deposit

Hi, I would really appreciate an ID on these crustaceans found 2019 at Miami, Mermaid And Nobby beaches on the Gold Coast, Australia. I've done some basic research and came up with Pliocene era. Thankyou so much!

My top soil is very rocky. When I'm working in my garden I remove the rocks that surface over time, sometimes I toss them in a bucket, sometimes curiosity overcomes me and I bring them into my kitchen sink, this rock below is one such such curiosity. Now I have the Fossil Forum! I was wandering through your Collections, crustaceans and there was something familiar about the photo of the Pulatius Vugaris. Further research on the web led me to following article, A new mid-Silurian aquatic scorpion-one step closer to land? January 1 2015 Janet Waddington, David M Ruskin and Jason A. Dunlop The a

Found this yesterday. Not perfectly round, but really close. Very smooth except the “eyes”. There is a pattern of sorts that looks like a crab, maybe. Diameter is the same as a penny.
