Grammysioidea ? Any help appreciated thanks.

Haven't been posting lately, life has thrown me a few curve-balls this summer, but I was taking a closer look at my Penn Dixie crinoids and came across these two pieces I found on the surface of a dry pyrite bed, (Middle Devonian.) I had always thought they were crinoids—and may very well be, but they don't match up with anything that I've come across so far, especially for the area. Also, it's tough to tell in the picture but those protrusions are definitely spiny—that is to say pointed. Thank you in advance!

Hi All, This is my first post in the forums, but probably won't be my last... I'm trying to write a kids book on evolution and want to draw some nice pictures to go with the rhymes (it's aimed at younger kids). However for the page I have written about Tiktaalik roseae I would like to do a picture of it resting on the bank of a river, with some of the likely associated flora and fauna that lived in the margins of freshwater at the time hanging out in the background/foreground (probably foreground as I suspect they were all fairly small). Unfortunately there don't seem to be a lot of good fossils from the Famennian in Canada at this time and so I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me identify some likely candidates. There is a lot of information on the tetrapods that lived with it but it seems like nobody has covered the land living/marginal species that may have crossed paths with it. There is also some info about things like e.g. Archaeopteris, Gigantocharinus, Microdecemplex, etc. but none of them seem to occur in the same location/stratigraphy. Hopefully the way I have written this doesn't make me sound completely clueless (although chances are good), as it's been a while since I've dabbled in palaeontology, but if anyone wants further clarification then let me know. Thanks in advance, this is a great website, by the way! Cheers SpoonMan

Found this slab near Ithaca, New York in the Devonian Hamilton formation. The underside shows a lot of medium sized lines and gouges, which i interpret to be tracks. Am I wrong? Surrounding rocks were not very fossil-rich. Thanks for any help identifying these!

Yesterday was a gorgeous day for a fossil hunting trip, and also the last day of summer before my SO had to go back to school to teach little ones. So the clan of three gathered up our bathing suits, towels, sunscreen and a bag for holding fossil finds, and we drove out to Beltzville, PA, which has a little something for everyone! At first, we were at the swimming beach, playing around and looking for fossils there... well, the pickings were little to none. I think we found a small pebble that had some bryozoans in it. That was about it. I was wondering where all the fossils were? Did we arrive just after they had all been found? I stopped looking at this point (sigh of disappointment) and swam around with my daughter in the warm lake water. We went up for lunch, dried off, and my sweetie got on his phone and did some research on the park. Turns out there are other places around the lake better suited for fossil hunting! Yay! After we ate, and the little one played on the children's playground, we piled back into the car and headed to the other side... Way fewer people, and completely fossilicious!!

Hi everyone, I've recently done some shale collecting near the Rocky River in Ohio. I've found the shale in this area is late Devonian to Mississippian, and is good matrix to look for microfossils. I've collected some smaller material that I'm soaking and freezing to disaggregate, and also some larger material (1-6 inches). I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with matrix from this area/from this period and if so are you more successful with smaller or larger material? Thanks very much!
