I collected this plate at an outcrop of Bailey limestone yesterday while looking for trilobites. The crinoid fauna present is limited with Scyphocrinus and Lecanocrinus reported. This slab had a visible larger crinoid dorsal cup exposed on top. The plates that are exposed on the cup match well with Lecanocrinus anna (formerly Alsopocrinus anna). I removed some larger portions of stem, and exposed some free arms branching off of what looks like another crinoid. Any opinion if this is a different crinoid, or possibly just a piece of Scyphocrinus? I know preparation would likley be needed for a confident ID, but I'm more curious if anyone recognizes this as a Flexibilia crinoid.

Fossil coral found near the village of Palogne in the Belgian Ardennes.
Noobductive posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello! This fossil was found by my older brother and father in the 2010’s on a riverbank near the Wallonian village of Palogne. I matched this locality with a map of known deposits in the region; there are both lower Devonian and dinantian-Carboniferous layers in this general area. Still, there are so many different deposits in the bigger region and since this was on a riverbank it could’ve been washed up from anywhere. Both sides and all edges are covered in either imprints, or the fossil itself (I am not familiar with it so I can’t tell). One side has more and smaller circles, the opposite side has less and bigger ones, and they are stretched/warped along the sides of this rock. It has been sitting on a shelf for years and years until I got into fossil collecting and my father gave it to me. I’d love to figure out what this is!

Hi all. I'm new to this forum. I would like some help with this little fossil I found. I have been doing some research on this lovely fossil I found in the UK. Without having it cleaned and inspected properly, I think I have a Bothriolepis from the Devonian period. What is you opinion? One day I will get this properly looked at and cleaned as I think I may have something special.

Here's another unidentified, found it in Northern Kentucky, possibly originated in another location.

Also found in White Sulphur Springs. Any help identifying is appreciated.

Here's a little bivalve mollusc from Kowala, Poland, of Late Devonian (Famenian) age. Can anyone identify this to some more precise category than "bivalve mollusc"? This bivalve is about 1.6 cm wide.

Hello - I found some fossils on an afternoon walk at my parents' property in upstate New York today. They were in a creek bed. The land is undeveloped (i.e. no paved roads or electricity). They aren't as exciting as lots of stuff on here. I am not necessarily seeking species ID. I am seeking: - clarification on what geological era they were formed in, if possible - whether it is more likely that these fossils originated locally or were transported by glaciers - is that fossilized nacre (cool!!!)? - is it possible that something more interesting is concealed inside the obvious protrusion on one of the rocks? Scale in photos is inches. I have included a picture with the exact location where the fossils were found. I am unsure whether this area of the state was glaciated during the last ice age and so it is unclear to me whether the fossils come from local parent material or whether they originated further to the north. Speculation welcome! Apologies if this is somewhat outside the scope of normal requests. Thanks in advance for any information, and please ask if there is any helpful info I left out! Hoping you are well as you read this post

I don’t know where this is from. Is it a Crinoid?

These were found in Western Queensland. I have done some research and figure they could be around 370my old, give or take a fortnight .. The bed was near vertical, heavily striated with quartz veins . about a km above sea level.. I have many more pictures. If these do not give enough info...

I bought this out of curiosity and because I think it's rather beautiful. It was sold as a bryozoan which it clearly isn't though you can see why it was. It seems to be a diploporitan echinoderm, showing internal structure of plates (humatipores) and a small area of the external layer with diplopores. The location is given as Tafilalet region, Erfoud area, Anti-Atlas Mountains. My questions are: 1) is it Devonian (as sold) or perhaps Ordovician? Both are possible for the area - I've read that Devonian diploporitans occur in Morocco. These would be sphaeronitidae - the only group to survive into the Devonian. 2) Has anyone come across anything similar from Morocco, or indeed elsewhere, and can you narrow down the ID? Back surface, showing that it consists of articulated plates (these are the same plates as the other side, it's not a compressed hollow specimen). patch of diplopores: Ramifying humatipore respiratory structures: Closeup of plates showing pustular ornament:

I picked this up at a market stall in Fes this week. No information other than it is from South of me in Morocco. Because I thought it was sweet and it has a cracking bryozoan around the eyes (which are sadly broken) I think it looks like Devonian matrix and is a Phacopid? Phacops speculator? It is about 6 cm long. (straight line, not including the curve over) @piranha And anyone got any ideas re the bryozoa?

I thought this might be a trilobite, but it isn't quite matching up. I found this is Big Rapids Michigan, in my garden. The overall rock is 2.25 inches in length, while the section in question is about .75 inches in length. The second picture is the back side of the rock because why not. Thank you kindly for your help, Lord knows I need it.

Below is another fossil from my garden in Big Rapids, Michigan. There seems to be more than one thing going on with it. Again, any info is appreciated.

This came out of my garden in Big Rapids, Michigan. It has a ridge on one side, which is the close-up picture. The two sides look a little bit different, which is throwing me off. Most of what I find is sponge, horn and honeycomb coral. Honestly, I am rather obtuse when it comes to fossils, although I love them so. Considering this, any insight would be greatly appreciated. (I think I find mostly Devonian period items)

I am a first time user and novice fossil hunter, so please excuse my lack of knowledge. I do not know what time period this comes from, although I believe most of what I find is from the Devonian period. I mainly look where I live (Big Rapids) and have pulled a number of these rocks out of my garden while preparing for spring planting or tilling down at the end of Fall. I typically find quite a few honeycomb and horn coral, which I can usually identify, but I have come across a number of items I am not sure of, one of which is below. Any help identifying this would be appreciated.

not sure if this is Goniatite or not, but I bought several of these from a Morrocan dealer many years ago only cause they were all stuck onto a concretion. I took this one and polished it up. It was covered in a very very hard 'crust'. I dont remember just how long it took me but Im sure it was over 10 hours. I remember I didnt want to do any more! But it came out purty good. Wish i had a before picture? I can see that it needs even more work, but not sure if Im gunna get around to that? RB

I was cleaning up some of my fossils and came across this piece that is broken in half. It was in a box with some of my other fossils from MI. The matrix is softer than any other fossil I have collected feom MI. It is falling apart with a soft toothbrush and water. It is shaped like the inside of a clam. But it is full of small pieces of wash. What is the best way to handle this? Keep cleaning with a toothbrush and remove fossils as they loosen? It has been several years since I collected these... Maybe it isnt old at all?? Thanks, Kim Another view

Hey all. I found these pieces in some road fill in White Sulphur Springs, WV. The driver who brought in the fill said it came from a local creek, but I have yet to track down the source. I've only found a handful of pieces of this material. I think it might be quartzite. It is very friable. There are some crinoids and brachiopods in the matrix. I was hoping someone here might be able to shed some light on what these long fossils are. The scale is in inches. Thanks for looking

I found this partial weathered ammonite on the shore of Hemlock lake, one of the lesser Finger lakes of New York State years ago. It is 4.5 cm at the widest. I am assuming because of the condition that it is not possible to id. I sure couldn't by looking though an article on NY ammonites. Is the pattern on it pyrolusite dendrites and with the pink color could it be pink quartz that is the replacement mineral? The first picture is dry. The others I wet it to help show the pattern.
