    Conularia formosa

    From the album: Urban Fossils of Toronto (Georgian Bay Formation, Lower Member)

    Conularia formosa (Miller and Dyer, 1878). Georgian Bay formation, Lower Member, Late Ordovician. Found along the Humber River of Toronto. This specimen was found when I was smashing some of the limestone of a bedding and this popped out. This is the only Conularia formosa I have ever found along the Humber River.

    Modiolopsis ovata

    From the album: Urban Fossils of Toronto (Georgian Bay Formation, Lower Member)

    Modiolopsis ovata (Conrad, 1842). Georgian Bay formation, Humber member, Late Ordovician. Collected from the Humber River area of Toronto, Ontario. The body had been calcite replaced and was found in the shale. There are also flecks of pyrite which are the gold coloured marks on the right side.
  3. From the album: Trilobites

    8mm. wide. Pygidium. Georgian Bay Formation, Katian, Late Ordovician. Site: Etobicoke Creek, Etobicoke, On., Canada.
  4. As most of you are probably aware by now, I've spent some time recently in Ontario due to family matters. Things have taken care of themselves and I'm back home in Germany again. After the family activities had settled down, I was able to visit a couple of sites and also my good friend Kane. I would have liked to have spent time with Monica and Viola and Malcolm, but unfortunately that didn't work out this time around. Anyway, with the help of Kane's directions, I was able to visit the roadcut in the Amherstburg Formation's Formosa Reef just north of the town of that name and also managed to dig up some of the more typical fauna. The site as seen from across the road. Typical breakage. Although the stone is relatively hard, it splits quite well. Emmonsia emmonsi Spiniplatyceras sp. Dawsonoceras cf. americanum Acleistoceras cf. hyatti Proetus (Crassiproetus) crassimarginatus. Pygidium and Cranidium. The next day I went to visit Kane and Deb. Deb really cooked up a storm and Kane took me off to show me his "backyard" site in the "relocated" Dundee Formation and also gifted me a few nice things. Maclurites sp. Hippocardium cuneus Ecterocrinus simplex He also gifted me a Conularia but it unfortunately wouldn't allow me to prep it. On the next day I followed Monica's directions to a spot on the Etobicoke creek in the Ordovician Georgian Bay Formation. There were lots of bivalves, nautiloids and gastropods to be seen, but I settled for the lil' ol' trilobite pygidium and spent a lot of time observing birdies bathing. Ambonychia radiata and Flexicalymene granulosa Oh yes! I almost forgot to mention that I found an egg, albeit a recent one, but nevertheless, it was well-preserved. So that was that for my fossilized adventures this time. 2 days later I was on my way back home.

    Georgian Bay Bryozoa

    These bits are on the same piece of rock, kindly sent to me by the marvelous @Monica. They are from the Etobicoke Creek, Toronto, Ontario, Canada and are Georgian Bay Formation which is Late Ordovician in age. I think they are likely bryozoa, but stromatoporoid might be possible for the first one and algae for the second. They are found in a piece of rock that also contains Paupospira (was Lophospira) gastropods, crinoid stems and individual columnals, Cornulites flexuosus and Flexicalymene granulosa. The first one doesn't seem to have much depth to it. 1 to 2 mm at most. The second one is a stick ! Another stick : And what are the spiky toothy things?
  6. I am posting some pics of my trip to Etobicoke, Ontario on the Georgian Bay formation, Lower Member. I only went a couple times to different localities in Etobicoke since the lockdown put a strain on my wanted public transportation service. I visited the Humber River and Mimico Creek. I only came home with 2 specimens from the Humber while I didnt take anything home from Mimico. This year's winter has been mild so that is why I believe there has not been any turn around for [good/unusual/extraordinary] material. I recall back in 2015, which had a rough and severe winter, generated more good fossils for me than this year's mild winter. I didnt have to do a lot of digging and just surface collecting just to find good specimens when the winter is rough before the following Spring and Summer. The ice didnt form thick and did not cause any strong erosion in the creeks in my opinion. These pics are from the Humber River This right below is a partial Treptoceras crebiseptum I collected along the bank. Sorry for the blurry pic, this one is a Pholadomorpha pholadoformis.

    Help identifying fossils

    New fossil enthusiast here. On my first few trips I found these in the Humber River and Etobicoke Creek and would like some help identifying them. 1. I think this is a trilobite?
  8. Hello again! Sorry for the constant posts, but I've been finding a lot of amazing stuff recently! Anyways, as the title says, this was probably one of my best hauls ever for a single day! I managed to find over a dozen different nautiloid chunks and was able to extract toooooons of super well defined and complete brachiopods from a matrix piece!! This will be another 3 part post as i have lots of pictures: Here was the full haul for the day, with ruler for reference (notches in cm). Here are some alternate angles of the nautiloids. I going to assume/believe they are mostly, if not all Treptoceras Crebriseptum, but if anyone notices any different species I'd be glad to know! some nice crinoid stem segments, a Pholadomorpha Pholadiformis and Ambonychia plate, and another decent nautiloid.

    Bones upon bones

    Hi everyone, New to the forums, still getting the hang of this but started researching and doing a lot of reading on fossils. Finally found my first fossil with my 3 year old and we definitely need help identifying this item. Location: Toronto, Ontario ( Etobicoke Creek) This location is known to have orthoconic nautiloid - trilobites - bivalve- brachiopod Size : can see from the picture, the bone looking part is the size of a key Extra Info: it looks like there is two bones, one little one above the long one.. the upper small part looks like a bivalve Any advice of what this might be and the approximate age would be of great information to us. Thank you

    Fossils from Etobicoke Creek

    Hello, this is my first post to the site. I was out in Etobicoke Creek last Monday for the first time looking for fossils and had a few good finds. The first is what i think is a Crinoid, . The second one is part of a cephalopod (i think).

    Graptolite from Mimico Creek?

    Hello there! Well, I tried to take Viola out for a little fossil hunt by Mimico Creek in Etobicoke, Ontario (Georgian Bay Formation, Upper Ordovician) this afternoon because when I checked the forecast this morning it looked like it was going to be ideal fossil-hunting weather - a mix of sun and cloud with temperatures in the mid-20s Celsius. When we arrived, however, it began to rain - we toughed it out and came away with one piece before it began to pour and we called it a day. I was disappointed since I was hoping to spend a few hours there, but the one piece we took home looks like it might have a graptolite on it, which is quite exciting since I have yet to find one in my local haunts. Please check out the photo below and let me know what you think: Thanks in advance for your help! Monica

    Toronto Nautiloid

    Treptoceras crebiseptum (Hall, 1847). A nautiloid found in the shale of the Georgian Bay Formation, lower informal member, at a shale wall. Locality is Mimico Creek, Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada. I have included in situ pics to show the process of collecting the specimen. The length of the orthocone is approximately 40 cm which is the size of an adult Treptoceras crebiseptum.
  15. Hello everyone! On Monday, I found a beautiful Treptoceras crebriseptum orthoconic nautiloid in a huge rock at Mimico Creek in the Etobicoke/Toronto area (Georgian Bay Formation, Upper Ordovician). It has been suggested that I might have a complete specimen, so I was hoping that someone out there might be able to let me know if this is the case or not. Here are some pictures... Whole specimen: Close-up of the base of the specimen (specimen has been turned over) - note that it is smoothly rounded and shows no septa - is this the fossilized living chamber of the animal? Close up of the tip of the specimen - note that it seems to end before the rock edge - is this the very tip of the animal? Close up of the piece that shattered off the tip of the specimen - note that it also seems to end before the rock edge: Thanks for your help!!! Monica
  16. Hi everyone!!! I had the afternoon to myself today because William and Viola are at day camps this week and my husband was busy, so I decided to check out Mimico Creek (Georgian Bay Formation, Upper Ordovician) by myself for a couple of hours. I didn't make many finds, but the finds I did make were super-amazing (by my standards, anyway ). As I was walking along the creek when I first arrived, I was checking out the wall of rock when I noticed a pattern: After gently prying out the rock, this is what I found: Hooray!!!!!!!!!! My first Flexicalymene granulosa!!!!!!!!!! For those of you who have read my trip reports and ID requests in the past, especially when I first started fossil-hunting in 2016, I always went out hoping to find a trilobite, and today I succeeded!!!!!!!!!! I then spent about an hour mucking about, not finding much, when I decided to hammer a big slab of rock that had some worn bivalves on the surface. Lo and behold, hidden underneath that layer of rock was the most beautiful Treptoceras crebriseptum orthoconic nautiloid that I had ever seen!!!!!!!!!! The bottom part of the fossil doesn't appear to have septal divisions, and it's a little flatter than the rest of the fossil - could it be the living chamber?!?!?! I cannot believe my luck today - this has been my best day of fossil-hunting in the Toronto area in the past 3 years!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!! I do have to play it cool at home, though - I don't want Viola to be disappointed that she missed out (I haven't yet told her what I did today - it'll be a secret for a while). @JUAN EMMANUEL @Wrangellian @Ludwigia @Malcolmt - I thought you might like to see
