I hunted for the second day in a row yesterday. This was a creek in the middle of Dallas-Fort Worth. I'd wanted to make a trip to this creek for a while, plus had some errands in the city, so made the drive for both yesterday. After the long and arduous hike the day before, this was supposed to be short and easy. I was seriously mistaken about that. The creek banks were just too steep to get into the creek. I ended up walking quite a ways, and even then, went down a bank so steep that I tied a rope and left it to get myself back up the bank. I was thinking that if rain got anywhere near me, I'd better clear out quick, or I'd never make it back up that bank. This is an Eagle Ford creek. It was a really great looking outcrop in this creek, but I couldn't get it to yield much. And the shower the night before had the gravel bars wet enough that they were tough hunting too. But I did bring home a few pieces. This ammonite was trying to crumble.

I can't seem to find a match for these gastropods, closest I've seen is Cerithium Turriculatum. I hesitate to say they are Cretaceous since I find things in this creek that aren't, this part of creek is QAL, Qt, and Eagle Ford with a little Permian mixed in. There is a pyritized fossil and also something round that I first thought bivalve or different gastropod but it seems too round. Thanks for looking!

A couple of weeks ago now I stumped upon several outcrops of the Early Pleistocene Waccamaw Formation in South Carolina. I have been able to identify the various mollusk that I found except for these last three gastropods. Either the resources I have found don't include an example that matches these specimens or it was just too close of a call. I would love to get some opinions on what these might be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! #1- Petaloconchus sculpturatus? #2- Ilynassa sexdentata? #3- Phrontis sp.?

Hi ! My girlfriend noticed some fossils from a cimetery wall just next to my appartment (which is located in a suburb really near Paris). Thanks to some geology museum in Paris, we identified this limestone to be from Lutetian. It also happens that the fossils can be directly picked off the rock by hand without damaging the wall. So we got a few of them. Here is what we found : I believe most of them are Sigmesalia, except for the bivalves which I suspect Crassatella. There are two specimen though that draw my attention : I don't think they are from the same species from the others. Maybe some Cryptochorda stromboides I mainly used the forum to find matching species with those, I'm not quite sure whether my identification (nor the method I used) is correct or not. I hope you find this interesting (and beautiful ofc) !
