    Coral Fossil

    I am a Rockhound and polisher at heart but occasionally I find Coral and fossils from Lake Erie presumably left over from when it was an ocean. I attached 3 photos of my latest find of what I believe to be coral with a blue nodule remaining. The base which is hard to see in the photo has a blue cast to it. The size of blue piece 1.75" W x 0.65" H x 0.125 thk. It has a sulfur smell to the base and I storing it subdue lighting in water to keep it from graying out like my other piece I have collected. Any comment would be appreciated. Thank you

    When wet this fossil appeared to be glass like an appearance, and was it easy choice to pick up and carry back up to my home!

    This fossil was found using a UV light, walking the beach near Hamburg, New York at night.

    Concretion or Something Else

    I apologize for the images. The piece is about 6-7 cm. Found on a Lake Erie beach in New York. Any ideas?

    Tooth or claw Ontario, Canada

    Good morning This was found along the water way of Lake Erie Ontario, Canada. Not sure if it's a tooth or claw. I have been told possibly from a bear but we don't have bears in the area so I figured it washed ashore from Pennsylvania. (Don't mind the hole, we drilled it to make a necklace for my son Lol). Thank you

    Tooth?

    Hello! Could someone please help me identify this? Very hard. Stone like. found on the shores of Lake Erie, Bass Islands, Ohio
  10. Hello. I am looking for some help identifying this fossil. Here are some pertinent details. Thanks in advance! Size.... It is about 42mm long by 21mm wide. It is a full fossil on the surface of a mostly spherical rock that is just slightly bigger than the fossil itself. Shape... Oblong. Oval. Color... The rock is a brown color. The fossil is white. The rock appears to have a lot of minerals in it. I can see glints of very small crystals throughout the fossil. Texture... Very rough. The organism appears to have had body segments. The deepest parts of the fossil appear to be about 1mm deep in the rock. Distinctive features... This is what is baffling me. It appears to have a "tail" with fine segments like a fish, however it seems to be horizontally oriented and not vertically like a fish. (Tail is in quotes because I am not sure it really is a tail per se.) It looks like it may have had appendages that were concentrated toward the center length of the body. The "head" appears to be articulated, as it is slightly tilted to one side. While it has a head, there are no distinguishing features visible on it. Now for the really weird part... The entire organism, including the head, is surrounded by hairs or feelers or some kind of structure. It appears to be very similar to the tail segments. I can see very clear individual elements of this structure. The rock also has several other smaller fossils on it that look to me like very very large plant cells group together in pairs to form longer strands. I believe there is also a tiny shrimp-like fossil on the rock (also pictured below). Geological Context... It is on a fairly spherical rock that was found on a Lake Erie beach. That beach was located at Vermilion, Ohio. It was found amongst a lot of rocks of similar size and quite a bit of shale.

    Are these fossils?

    Hello, Completely ignorant about Lake Erie fossils, but have a home near the lake. I’d love to know if these are fossils and anything about them. Thanks!

    Phalange

    Hey all, new here so sorry if this isn’t the way to do this…is anyone able to help identify what animal this may have come from. It was found on a small portion of beach below a cliff with a lot of erosion in WNY south of Buffalo. Not sure if it came from soil or lake…either way it seems on the heavier side and I’m thinking it might be a phalange from a deer figured I’d see if anyone could help confirm or come up with a different ID
  13. A few finds from this weekend. Fortunate enough to have a cottage on Lake Erie, fairly close to Rock Point Provincial Park which is known for it's exposed fossils of a 350 million year old coral reef. About half were found on the beach itself and the other half in the crushed gravel part of the driveway. I'd imagine the beach will keep yielding new finds after every storm, here is hoping for it anyway.

    What kind of horn coral is this?

    If it even is a horn coral? Not sure if it’s possible to tell from this. Found on Lake Erie in Erie Pa. Thank you.
  15. Or just a rock and some shells? Many of the shell imprints are shiny/pearlescent. Found on Lake Erie shore Erie, Pa. Thank you!

    Type of fossil?

    Hi, found this fossil on the shore of Lake Erie, about 4 km east of Rondeau Park. What types a possibly period it's from. My son is taking it to class. Cheers
  18. Hello! I have been lurking on this Forum for a while because I was very busy lately and still is! I found few fossils and I thought it might be trilobits- pieces of trilobite and also something else that I thought it seems 'fishy' and somewhat resemble a fish spine. These fossils are not found in situ but the bedrocks are Silurian. If they are trilobites, it would be my first time found one! I found this on the beach of Lake Erie, just east of Toledo, Ohio two weeks ago. Approximately half centimeter. Yesterday, I found this fossil on the beach of Lake Michigan in Kenosha, Wisconsin - just north of Illinois state line. It looks like a cross section of a trilobite to me. Approximately a centimeter and half wide. Unknown and resembles a fish spine, approximately two centimeters long. Thank you in advance and I am looking forward to seeing the responses!
  19. Hello, does anyone know what this could be?

    Found along Lake Erie

    Hi everyone, new member here. We went camping at Rock Point provincial park here in Ontario and we were amazed with the amount of fossils along the beach. From what I’ve read, the fossils are from a 350 million old reef but couldn’t figure out how to identify some of the items we found. The first one looks like a conical shell, the second almost looks like a pill bug? And finally, the last is possibly the cross section of a plant? Hoping someone here can help satisfy the curiosity of a first time fossil finder! Thanks!!

    Squid Beak?

    I found what looked to be a talon/claw or a beak on a lake Erie beach (Ohio side). Based on the fact that most of my fossils are aquatic in nature, I'm starting to lean towards a lower squid beak. Thoughts? The first pic is of the bottom view, then next two are variations of the side view and the last is the top view of it. I'm also open to suggestions on how to free it from its surroundings.

    Fish vs mammal tooth fossil

    Hi to all. I found this tooth on a beach in Madison, Ohio in 2007. A wave had washed it onto the shore and I was quite surprised. I saw that it was a fossil tooth as half of the enamel showing was agatized. I suspect it is a fish tooth but not sure. It is a great specimen! Can anyone help with identification? It is 2 inches long.

    Lake Erie ice melted

    We bought a fixer-upper on Lake Erie at Ashtabula, Ohio, this past year. We were at the property yesterday knowing that most of the winter ice likely melted. We found this on our property above the beach. It's about the size of a basketball. I'll post 4 pics. one top view then one bottom view without flash then both again with flash. Any and all comments appreciated.
