I will trade these fossils for one well preserved European goniatite or European triassic ammonite (specimen with 5 to 8 cm preferentially) because that kind of specimen is lack in my teaching collection. Note the Anorthopygus orbicularis is not a common species and, apart the incomplete test, has an exceptional detailed preservation, rarely seen. Best regards, Ricardo Traded

Hello TFF friends! During the summer, in August I was able to take a trip to northwestern PA to collect some fossils at various locations. One of them had many different types of trace fossils which I did not collect (something I regret doing as those ichnofossils were quite interesting and beautiful), but I also found this piece, it is a thin sandstone piece containing multiple bivalve steinkern a from 1 to about 2.5cm in length. I am not sure what formation it was, the closest I can think of that is present in the area is Lock Haven but that one mostly has brachiopods and I didn't

As I traveled from Minnesota to Morrison Iowa for a mineral/fossil presentation that our rock club was involved in, I had a few hours to venture off course and visit Bird Hill in Floyd County. The exposure provides fossils from the Cerro Gordo, Lime Creek, Devonian Period. If anyone has visited the Rockford Tile and Brick Quarry, the same strata is exposed at both sites. The Cerro Gordo is brachiopod rich with 40 known species. In my short visit, 15 species of brachiopods were found and HOPEFULLY identified correctly! I do have a bag of brachiopods that I am still trying to work through. So ho

Last Sunday, our rock club took part in Morrison, Iowa’s Pioneer Craft Fair, with a goal of educating the children in various topics of paleontology and mineralogy. I took the opportunity to discuss ancient sharks and show a variety of specimens that I have accumulated. Even the adults had a hard time grasping that one of my display of teeth were actually from Iowa. The children then had the opportunity to split open some “rocks” revealing sharks teeth within. It was a hit and I enjoyed it more than the kids!!!!!!!! I did have the opportunity to explore a few fossil sites before the fa

Lise found the first blastoid of the year at Arkona, during last weeks spectacular warm spell. She also found the first Petoskey stone, though there was very little of Lake Huron’s shoreline free of snow and ice. I, however, found a stromatoporoid. An interesting piece, from a chunk of armour stone, quarried from somewhere or other. A spectacular ice nugget was also found.

Hi guys! I found the attached Silurian and Devonian fish online and would appreciate your opinions on the specimens. The first is a Galeaspid, Polybranchiaspis, from Yunnan, China (43mm in size) and the second is an Osteostracan, Tremataspis schmidti, from the Rootsikula Formation, Island of Oesel, Estonia (28mm and 16mm headshields). They are dated to the Upper Silurian and Lower Devonian respectively. From some research it looks like the Tremataspis is genuine, however I’m not 100% on the Polybranchiaspis. Any input in terms of their authenticity would be greatly app

Public collecting sites between Buffalo & Syracuse
Wendell Ricketts posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hello FF members: I’m going out to visit Penn Dixie and go on a field trip with PRI in a couple weeks, and I was wondering whether anyone might be willing to point me to an additional collecting site or two roughly between Syracuse and Buffalo. I’m mostly interested in brachiopods, mollusks, and microfossils, but that’s not a hard limit. Don’t want to steal anyone’s honey hole, but I remember from (many) years back that there were sometimes creek or road cuts that could afford a few hours of leisurely collecting. I’m happy to trade issues of Fossil News magazine if that’s of any in -

REMPC A0019 Trilobite - Eldredgeops rana Middle Devonian Windom mb., Moscow Fm., Western New York State, USA -
Hi all. Managed to get out to Penn Dixie fossil park a couple weekends ago. Trilobite pieces and brachiopods from the Moscow formation. The lone head is the same on with a scale, one shown under magnifying glass. The same with the two bodies. The trilobite head looks like it's from an Eldredgeops rana. And the brachiopods Mediospirifier audaculus (lone) Rhipidomella sp .(pair). Thanks for viewing.

Requesting fossil photographs for art project
stefphanni posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I would like to use photographs of fossils as part of my digital artwork. I do not want to violate any copyright laws if I later sell the artwork. Does anyone know where I can find free-use images of fossils or does anyone mind sharing their personal fossil photographs with me? I will give credit to you for your photography if I decide to use the images in my work. Fossils of any type and from any time period are appreciated. Thank you! -
Hello again, I have some more photographs of fossil specimens that I am unsure about or looking to confirm. Appreciate the help. 1. Devonian, Genesee Formation from around Dansville, NY. Agonatite? Gastropod? 2. Also Devonian, Onondaga Formation I believe, Erie Co.. I am not great at trace classification ID beyond that it looks to be a trace burrow 3. Devonian Moscow Fm., Erie Co. The little fossils on the left side of image? Can't find any sources on these. Neat trilobite eye in the rock. 4. Rugose Coral, Devonian Livingston

Have some Mid Devonian brachiopod or bivalve shells that I am not sure about, tried to do some research on my own on what I found. Hoping to get some ID confirmation or help here. Greatly appreciate the help. 7 pictures below: 1. Bivalve Shell? Moscow Formation I believe 2. Brachiopod Shell, never found another like this one? Windom Shale from Livingston Co. Wondering the difference between these two spirifers: 3. 4. 5. Rhipidomella? 6. or is this Rhipidomella?

Hey everyone, been a little MIA recently. Work/life balance has gotten a little out of whack. Looking forward to sharing some of my 2021 finds soon! anyway I’m revisiting this fossil I found in Western New York roughly 2 years ago. at first when I shared the find I asked some opinions and most said cephalopod. I knew it probably wasn’t that but I didn’t really explore it further. this is from the Wanakah shale of the ludlowville formation in the Hamilton group of WNY. Middle Devonian in age. this “seems” like a spine? I don’t really know.

I'm currently working on a simulation of extinct biomes, i'm slowly learning how to make everything as realistic as possible for realtime 3d simulation. I would like to start with plants recreated from some Silurian, lower devonian and upper devonian, and slowly working to recreating the biomes in the areas where they lived and later i'l like to add animals aswell. All my research is made with google i'm not a professional in archeology or 3d art, some of the models are very simple and unpolished for now and will be updated. The project is in the early stages

While my prime focus is essentially learning how to accurately describe Nature in the precise language of mathematics, I've always been intrigued by natural history - it's actually what started me on the path to physics. The sort of interrogation that paleontology practices provoked me to think and question even further, down to the fundamental science which makes it all work. Collecting fossils has brought a large amount of enjoyment to my life, and is often a welcome distraction from what can sometimes be straining work. The knowledge that I accumulate along the way is also part

Fossil ID: Needmore formation Devonian fossils ( Lost River)
Rexofspades posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, As a follow up to my previous post, I wanted to see if anyone can help me Identify some of the things I found or confirm my suspicions. all material was found in Wardensville, part of the needmore formation in the Lost River quarry. #1 lets start with the biggest stumper, I have absolutely no Idea what this thing is or even if it is a fossil. my best guess is a possible trilobite feeler, but even then I am not familiar enough with their anatomy to make that call. failing that, some sort of soft bodied invertebrate perhaps? #2 -

Spinocyrtia ostiolata Junkerberg Formation Germany Trade with @Max-fossils -
Hi all! Went on an expedition to Wardensville this weekend to try out some new equipment, decided to go to the Lost river quarry and try my hand at shale splitting. The drive was nice and uneventful. but eventually I made it to the spot. The scree was more treacherous than I expected, has to use my new rockhammer as a pick of sorts to help anchor myself. this was my very first time to this locality, doing anything like this for that matter, so I had no idea what I would find if anything. after scrambling up to the rock wall and looking over the texture my eyes were met with the fir
