  1. I am fortunate enough to have such a huge amount of Middle Devonian Givetian material that I thought it best to put the older Middle Devonian stage, the Eifelian, in its own thread. There are some spectacular fossils here as well though! I thought a good place to start would be in the Formosa Reef, which I believe is quite early Eifelian. This tabulate coral and stromatoporoid reef continues similar complexes found from the Middle Silurian, see my: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/84678-adams-silurian/page/3/ thread from page three onwards for details. All these Formosa Reef specimens come from a delightful gift from my good friend @Monica who is a tad busy with life at the moment but is fine and still thinking of the forum. This outcrop can be found on Route 12 near Formosa/Amherstburg, Bruce County, Ontario, Canada. This beautiful-looking specimen came to me with only a third of it revealed but I managed to get it this far after nine days of painful pin prepping. Monica found another one and posted it for ID here: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/105528-weird-circular-imprints-formosa-reef-lower-devonian/#comment-1172285 The specimen was identified by another Canny Canadian @Kane to be the little stromatoporoid sponge Syringostroma cylindricum. Hardly a reef-builder, but gorgeous nonetheless. It does have a little thickness to it, but not much. Beautiful! Pretty thin, actually. I love this Monica, thank you!
  2. IDing my Waldron Shale finds is going well, but I hit a snag when getting to Atrypa. My research shows Atrypa reticularis is a common brachiopod found in the Waldron. Also mentioned was Atrypa newsomensis, for which I could not find a picture or description of. My finds include what look like two different Atrypa species but could be the same. There are smarter members than I that hopefully can set me straight on this. The first specimens are what I feel are Atrypa reticularis. The next group are much more ornate. They remind me of Spinatrypa beulla of the Devonian.

    This rock sparkles

    This is a beauty! It's stunning,it has green,pink and sparkles ALOT. Any ideas?
  4. Lisa Z

    I don't know

    This is an odd one my first thought at first glance was a mammal, but I'm no expert I'm just a curious extremely interested individual who loves the rocks, fossils,gems,stones etc so what u think. I'd love to learn more on how to identify them

    Shape turtle head?

    Beautiful but still a mystery,looked it up CLD be a boundary rock. Any thoughts?

    Waldron Trilobite (Silurian)

    I have a partial trilobite cephalon that I collected from the Waldron Shale spoils piles at Falls of the Ohio State Park. Since it is not directly from the quarry wall, there is some uncertainty in the stratigraphy, but it is likely Waldron or the overlying Louisville Ls. both of which are right near the border between Lower and Upper Silurian. Hopefully there is enough here to give a shot at an ID. The best I can do is say it could be Metopolichas breviceps but there appear to be some differences. Hopefully someone like @Kane or @piranha or @Ken K can see enough here to have an opinion. If not, "Trilobite Head" it will be called. Thanks for any help. Here it is enhanced a bit hopefully so you can see it better. You can see by the scale that it is under 1 cm wide. My stab at an ID initially came from Halls 1879 publication on the Waldron. Below I have my specimen between the figure out of Hall (on the right) and an example of one from the American Museum of Natural History website (left). The AMNH site says this specimen is the only known complete example which just adds to my doubt on the ID, but I have not found a more common, better match. And lastly, here is a zoom in of the cephalon to hopefully show the small bumps covering it. Thanks again for any help.
  7. Hi all! At last Friday’s Dry Dredgers meeting, I handed over the two Ordovician fossils below to Dr. Carl Brett for the Cincinnati Museum Center! Standard business card for scale. This coral, which I have wrongly been identifying as Favosites sp., is from the campus of Hanover College in Indiana, in their Dr. Daryl Karns trail system. This was donated with permission from the Hanover College Geology Faculty. This Treptoceras sp. comes from the US-68 road cut in Maysville, KY, Kope Formation.
  8. I found multiple pieces of this rock which each vary in size but the shape and structure is the same. There is banding and in the middle of each is a cellular structure looking material. Is this some sort of plant? I am in Mississippian strata Indiana USA

    Beautiful it is

    Live in Indiana it has so many pictures of faces and lots of sparkles
  10. I have collected so much from this creek over the past 3 years that I want to start documenting and sorting by type. If I could get some help with more specific and correct labeling terms I would be so grateful. I’ll just start with 2 smalls. IMG_2154.MOV IMG_2159.MOV
  11. September found me exploring a rock formation I had never encountered before, the Waldron Shale of Indiana. It was impressive, offering up many gems (fossils). This post is picture heavy but stay with me!!!!!! First up is a typical hash plate. I am usually attracted to hash plates but discovered only one came home with me. Next time It will be a priority to collect more! Next up are the brachiopods of the Waldron, many of which were identified by the help of Adam's Silurian post. He will likely have some corrections for me, which I will welcome! Most specimens contained a mineral crust that took some effort to remove. The results were worth the effort. The next brachiopod I labeled Homoeospira, but these were definitely wider than the ones above. Notice the two ribs in the sulcus on the next brachiopods: Only 1 rib in the sulcus on these: Atrypa was the most frequently found larger brachiopod: My guess is that these are some form of Stegerhynchus but are much smaller and very thin: Rugosa coral was an uncommon find for me. Favosites, on the other hand, were found frequently: This tiny favosite grew around a crinoid stem: As for Bryozoa, I picture this unique one. It grows around a piece of algae. The algae dies, leaving the bryozoan standing hollow! This is the only species of sponge found: Initially, my thoughts were that the next specimens were TINY horn coral. But after seeing specimens of Cornulites from the Waldron on line, my thoughts changed. I welcome opinions on this! While collecting, I did not know a cephalopod ended up in my bucket. It was tucked in some matrix saved for another fossil, only to be discovered when I broke apart the rock at home!! This happens to me quite often and is why my tendencies are to save the whole piece of matrix a fossil is in until I prep it at home. Surprises then can happen. The species of ceph eludes me as it does not match the ones mentioned existing in the Waldron Shale. Trilobites seem to be commonly found in the Waldron, so I was a bit disappointed not coming home with a complete bug. Next time!!!! For some reason, I found 4 loose eyes of Glyptambon and almost left them behind. But after they were cleaned, I am glad to have kept them. Platystoma are common gastropods found. If you look closely, the flat spirals are P niagarense and the raised spirals are P plebelum: This next gastropods, Strophostylus cyclostomus, are very tiny (4mm) and ornate. My favorite: P:yrite seemed to grow on all of the fossils and needed to be removed. But once in awhile, some beautiful crystals would show up! And in addition, an occasional geodized brachiopod would be found: I will finish this post in a few minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crinoids left to come.

    Indiana Identification Help?

    Hi everyone! I believe I have found trilobite (or other arthropod) tracks. Photographing was challenging. They are not the best but I believe visible enough to identify…hopefully! I found this in Crawford County, IN. Any help is appreciated!

    Devonian Identification Dilemma

    Recently I have taken interest in fossil hunting after discovering a plethora of fossils from some farmland in Southern Indiana. It is my understanding the fossils are from the Devonian period. My grandsons (5 and 6 years old) and I have collected several specimens I’ve the last couple of months. I have been searching the Internet for weeks trying to correctly identify our finds and just when I think I have something identified —I find other possibilities. I would like to make displays for the grandkids and label our other collections appropriately. I am in hopes this community would help identify the specimens, and provide advice on how best to label the fossils. I appreciate any assistance that can be provided. Thanks. —Bill Shingleton PS: All the fossils depicted are from Jeffersonville, IN.

    Which Way Is Up?

    I’m trying to figure up which direction for this calyx is up. closer view of this side

    Anyone know if this a tooth?

    Any help here? Looks a lot like some T-Rex teeth I’ve seen. Found in Indiana.

    Mushroom?

  17. I found this bone in a field in east central indiana. I did a field test to see if it is a fossil. I am an amateur but I believe it is a fossil. I was told there was a Buffalo lick about 2-3 miles north of where I found this. I am looking for help identifying.

    Joining the fun from Illinois

    Hello! I’m Ellen B and I’m currently living in far NE Illinois where there is plenty of glacial till and a brevity of outcrops. By day I do computer support now. But I have a MS in geology with a specialty in sedimentary rocks and paleontology. I also am a hobby baker hence my moniker.
  19. I found this fossil in southeastern Indiana. Does anyone know what it could be? I figure it's some kind of gastropod but I'm not sure what, I've never seen one like it before.

    unknown fossil

    Found this the other day and wondering what it is.

    Indiana Crinoids

    Looking for spots to find complete crinoids in indiana or surrounding states. I've done some door knocking in crawfordsville to no avail. Does anyone know where else to look or who to talk to?
  22. Jeff. mack

    This is new to me!

    his was found in Spencer Indiana. They are inbedded in slabs of sedimentary rock. It's about the size of a golf ball. When I cut one open, there's a darker color inside. I polished one up and it almost looks like an Agate? They are all at the same sedimentary level in the cliffs so it makes me think it could be a Fossil. Thanks for any help! Jeff
  23. During a trip today with a friend I found a large flexicalymene meeki. As well as some parts and partials of others. I also found some good gastropods and miscellaneous interesting fossils. The large flexi would be around 2 inches long if stretched out and it is just over an inch wide.
  24. On a trip to southern Indiana yesterday I met a member of the fourm, Newbie_1971, and he helped me find my first trilobite! I found several well preserved gastropods as well as some pieces of isotelus trilobites.
