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.

Hi guys i have this Silurian crinoid from the wenlock limestone from an old Victorian collection and I was wondering if anyone could ID it thanks
-
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.

Dear all, I recently went for a trip to Wrens Nest and found this small, what I believe Dendroid Graptolite. It measures ~2cm (apologies for the poor quality of the image). If anyone could suggest a Sp. ID, or even if it is a Graptolite that would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Tom

Had a great day out with Candace and Nick @thelivingdead531 @Barerootbonsai Friday 20th. Here are a few of my finds, I’ll post the hash plates when I’ve photographed them. We all got a great variety of finds, here are some of mine. I’m sure Nick and Candace will add to this thread.

Any UK members interested in a group trip details here Moderators, I know this is a duplicate post but I think it would gain more exposure here. Please delete if you feel necessary.

Hi I made my first visit to Wren's Nest yesterday. I still need to go through my finds but did well including some Dudley bugs (partial) and lots of coral and brachiopods. However this partial trilobite had myself and others stumped. If anyone can help with ID and cleaning up I'd be grateful (I don't have any professional prep kit like air abrader or air pen). Trilobite at bottom right of first pic. Thanks! Sam

As the title says, more of a reccy for later in the year when I hope to meet Nick @Barerootbonsai again for a hunt. I went away to shoot several images for a cd cover/book for a quirky band http://ironbootscrapers.com/ using one of the Victorian methods of photography I practice. On the journey back back I decided to spend an hour at Wren's Nest in Dudley, West Midlands, UK https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wren's_Nest Wren's Nest is a productive Silurian site, particularly for corals such as favosites and rugosa. Here's a fine looking chap at the site
