  1. Hi everyone. I was up in northwest Pennsylvania a few days ago seeing some friends and found this wild thing on their property. It's not my usual hunting grounds and I wasn't particularly looking for fossils at the time, so I never bothered to do research on the area. What I can tell you is that it was found in northern Crawford County, PA, which I believe is Devonian (but may also be Mississippian). Nearby were some brachiopods in sandstone. If extra pictures are needed, just let me know. Please help!

    Fossilized Plant Material

    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

    Missouri marine fossil ID

    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 share.

    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 China. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Brachiopoda Class: Rhynchonellata Order: Terebratulida Suborder: †Terebratulidina Superfamily: †Stringocephaloidea Family: †Stringocephalidae Genus: †Stringocephalus

    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 in the vicinity of Coralville, Iowa. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Cnidaria Class: Anthozoa Order: Stauriida Family: Disphyllidae Subfamily: Hexagonariinae Genus: †Hexagonaria

    PHACOPS TRILOBITE 1.jpg

    From the album: MY FOSSIL Collection - Dpaul7

    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 compounded of very large, separately set lenses without a common cornea (so called schizochroal eyes), and like almost all other Phacopina, the articulate mid-length part of the body (or thorax) in Phacops has 11 segments. Phacops is often found rolled up, a biological defense mechanism that is widespread among smaller trilobites but further perfected in this genus.

    Hexagonaria percarinata Coral.jpg

    From the album: MY FOSSIL Collection - Dpaul7

    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 in the source rocks for the Petoskey stones. Petoskey stones are found in the Gravel Point Formation of the Traverse Group. They are fragments of a coral reef that was originally deposited during the Devonian period.

    From the album: MY FOSSIL Collection - Dpaul7

    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
