I'm from near Cayuga Lake in NY. I found a piece of Fossilized plant material. The "Museum of the Earth" confirmed this and speculated that it fell into the water and sank in my area. She was however not able to identify it. To me it looks like a wood grain texture. Below, the first 2 photos of the large piece, the following 3 photos are close ups of a smaller chunk from that piece. Thanks Greg

Hello, I live near west Jackson County, Missouri. I found this fossil while I was walking my dog. It was part of the landscaping for the front of a building that has been there for 20 years or more. No one knows the origin of the material for the landscaping. Lots of reading, I found most of the chert in the landscaping has crinoids as a point of the time period, Devonian? Can't find any photos to compare it with on the internet, been trying for 2 months, a crash course on paleontology 101. I see Missouri in a different light from it all. Can this be identified? Thanks for the opportunity to s

Stringocephalis Brachiopod Guangxi, China Devonian Period (419.2-358.9 million years ago) Stringocephalus is an extinct genus of large brachiopods; between 388.1 to 376.1 million years old - they are usually found as fossils in Devonian marine rocks. Several forms of the genus are known; they may be found in western North America, northern Europe (especially Poland), Asia and the Canning Basin of Western Australia. Several different types are known; they share a well-developed, curved structure shaped like a beak. Some of the largest specimens discovered to date have been found in Chi -

Hexagonaria Coral 'Petoskey Stone' (Polished) Michigan Devonian period (~350 million years ago) Hexagonaria is a genus of colonial rugose coral. Fossils are found in rock formations dating to the Devonian period, about 350 million years ago. Specimens of Hexagonaria can be found in most of the rock formations of the Traverse Group in Michigan. Fossils of this genus form Petoskey stones, the state stone of Michigan. Hexagonaria is a common constituent of the coral reefs exposed in Devonian Fossil Gorge below the Coralville Lake spillway and in many exposures of the Coralville Formation -

Phacops Trilobite SITE LOCATION: Anti-Atlas Mountains, Morocco TIME PERIOD: Devonian Period (419.2 -358.9 Million Years Ago) Data: Phacops is a genus of trilobites in the order Phacopida, family Phacopidae, that lived in Europe, northwestern Africa, North and South America and China from the Early until the very end of the Devonian, with a broader time range described from the Late Ordovician. It was a rounded animal, with a globose head and large eyes, and probably fed on detritus. Like in all sighted Phacopina, the eyes of Phacops are -

Hexagonaria percarinata Coral SITE LOCATION: Michigan TIME PERIOD: Devonian Period (359-419 million years ago) Data: A Petoskey stone is a rock and a fossil, often pebble-shaped, that is composed of a fossilized rugose coral, Hexagonaria percarinata. Such stones were formed as a result of glaciation, in which sheets of ice plucked stones from the bedrock, grinding off their rough edges and depositing them in the northwestern (and some in the northeastern) portion of Michigan's lower peninsula. In those same areas of Michigan, complete fossilized coral colony heads can be found -

Heliophyllum coral SITE LOCATION: Rockford County, Iowa, USA TIME PERIOD: Devonian Period (~365,000,000 years ago) Data: Heliophyllum is an extinct genus of corals that existed predominantly in the Devonian. Heliophyllum is of the order Rugosa and can be referred to as horn corals. The genus had a wide distribution. Fossils of H. halli have been found in the fossil rich Floresta Formation of the Altiplano Cundiboyacense, Colombia. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Cnidaria Class: Anthozoa Order: †Stauriida Family: †Zaphrentidae Genus: †Heliophyllum -
I have this Ammonite from the Erfoud Devonian period, about 350 million years old. It's been painted by the Moroccan artisans to display better and to cover up where it's been glued together. It weights 12lbs and is 12.7 inches. Can anyone confirm for me if it's authentic? Thanks

I found this gem while walking a train track in Houston, MS around 1980. The gravel used to construct the railway was obviously all from the same quarry. Where? I don't know. I have no idea the species of trilobite, the formation it's from, or even it's material composition. I went back to that same place as an adult, but the railroad no longer exists and the rocks are all gone. Kinda spooky how he peers at you from over 350,000,000 years. Wow!
