Hoooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here we are at last, into Adam's Silurian. Thanks for looking. First up is the Lower Silurian or Llandovery and I begin with a problem. I posted this one incorrectly in Adam's Ordovician as it had got it's label muddled up with an Ordovician Favosites I had that has vanished in the move here, but is being replaced by kind forum member @Herb Anyway, this, I remember now I've found the correct label, is from the greenish Browgill Formation, part of the Stockdale Group from a cutting near Skelgill (Skelghyll) in Cumbria, Northern England. It seems to be a tabulate coral, but I can't find any listed for this location, only mentions of small, rare, rugose corals. It has the star shaped corallites of a Heliolitidid, but seems to be tightly packed together like a Favositidid. A couple of species of Palaeofavosites seem to be close and are a bit star-shaped,, but anyone know any better? @TqB@piranha hmm who else? The coral bit, an external mold, is a maximum of 3.5 cm across and each corallite up to 2 mm.

Hello, everybody! I have been sorting through my wenlock limestone material, Middle Silurian and have a couple of personal problematica. I am wondering if any of you brilliant folks could help me out. Here is an object which seems to be an epibiont on a Favosites coral. 5 mm long and about 1.5 mm diameter at the widest. Is it a cornulitid ? Or a single corallite of Aulopora? Something else, maybe? And another one? On a solitary rugose coral. 3 mm x 1 mm. And an example of Aulopora from Wiki to compare : And a cornulitid that looks a bit similar : I would be very grateful for any help. Then there is this. Is it the worm Keilorites? Length 1.9 cm, width 2.5 mm max.

Hello, Here is another crinoid I'm curious about ID. It's Silurian-aged from the Upper Wenlock Layer of Wren's nest, Dudley UK. The plating makes me think this is a bit of crinoid calyx poking out of matrix, measures about 1cm. I do see a plate missing, but I wonder if it's possible there's more crown buried in the rock that's worth prepping out.

Hello, I wanted to ask for help identifying these crinoid fossils from Dudley of UK. They are all quite small (UK penny is 2cm across) and I think mostly partials. 1. Just a partial calyx I think, the section around the base where the stem attaches 2. I can't really tell if these are three arms or three stems, and if the former they may not be attached to a calyx. 3. 4. Another small partial loose calyx? 5. Seems like a partial holdfast 6. 7. Same genus/species as #3 maybe? Has some odd holes 8. Thank you.

Wow! The first Wenlock Weirdies thread was three years ago. How time flies. These are all from the Much Wenlock Limestone Formation, Wren's Nest, Dudley, West Midlands, UK. So Middle Silurian. 1. I thought machaeridian at first, but it doesn't seem to quite fit. Then a possible polyplacophoran? 2. Worm tube? Cornulitid? 3. I thought trilobite at first, but I don't think it is.......... 4. Bit of trilobite? Bit of gastropod? Crinoid columnal? 4b. Another bit of the same species? 4b. Another? Any suggestions gratefully received. @TqB @piranha Tarquin? Scott? Thanks, everyone!

Hiya everyone I recently purchased this trilobite from Dudley, any help with the species and help with the other species on the matrix would be great, thanks.
