Help request! I am putting together a tool for judging rock age based on very crude, whole-rock, hand-sample observations of fossil faunas/floras -- the types of observations a child or beginner could successfully make. I view this as a complement to the very fine, species-level identifications commonly employed as index fossils for individual stages, biozones, etc. Attached is what I've got so far, but I can clearly use help with corals, mollusks, plants, vertebrates, ichnofossils, and the post-Paleozoic In the attached file, vibrant orange indicates times in earth history to commonly observe the item of interest; paler orange indicates times in earth history to less commonly observe the item of interest. White indicates very little to no practical probability of observing the item of interest. Please keep in mind that the listed indicators are things like “conspicuous horn corals,” purposefully declining to address rare encounters with groups of low preservation potential, low recognizability, etc. Got additions/amendments, especially for the groups mentioned above? Toss them in the comments below! Thank you..... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tVm_u6v573V4NACrdebb_1OsBEAz60dS1m4pCTckgyA- 5 replies

Hey everyone! I have a couple recent finds that I would appreciate your input on. I’m currently unsure of the formation that these fossils come from. I found this outcrop underneath a parking lot. It’s orange conglomeratic sandstones which makes me think Hookton Formation which would place it somewhere around 450,000 ybp. Scale is in inches.

Someone brought in this nice steinkern of a large gastropod found last week in the Middle Devonian Columbus Limestone near Columbus, Ohio. It is likely Pleuronotus decewi. Because I don't yet have this taxon (nor any palaeozoic gastropod taxa of that size), I took the opportunity to mold and cast it. Here is the fossil: Here is the fossil (lower) and two casts I made (above). These have a base-color that was added to the casting medium, but no color matching paint treatment has yet been applied (these are hot off the "press").

First trip of the year today to the "Fossil Gardens" at Paulding, Ohio. This is quarry spoil of mid-Devonian age, Silica Formation. There was not a cloud in the sky, and temps were relatively warm at 43 deg. F. I was the only one there for most of the day, and it was extremely peaceful. What a great day. Here are pics of some of the finds. These are "farm fresh" and haven't even been washed yet, but I did take time to polish some horn corals and get some acetate peels (couldn't wait). A large Cystiphylloides rugose coral.

Straparollus (Euomphalus) is likely an early gastropod that is relatively abundant in certain Graham Formation (Pennsylvanian) exposures in the area around Jacksboro, Jack Co., Texas. Smaller specimens like those pictured are occasionally referred to as Schizostoma, which is currently considered a synonym. EDIT: Pennsylvanian is Subperiod, Late is Epoch.

Hello, I found this Gastropod while hammering a chunk of Lower Miocene Limestone at a beach in Northern Puerto Rico. In my opinion it's a nice fossil with some crystallization. The Description from the USGS on the limestone formation is: Hard granular calcarenite overlain by alternating beds of chalky marl and rubbly limestone Just wondering if any one could help me ID it. Thank you!

I've googled and googled but can't find a definitive family tree for ammoniods/cephalopods &c. I'm looking for relationships between ammonites, nautiloids, belemnites, turrilites etc. Does that make sense? Thanks J
