I drive 8 hours with a friend to a location he remembers from his childhood as yielding a lot. Oh boy it did. 100% worth the drive. Lake Huron, among the agates, pyrite, yooperlite, has some extraordinary Devonian fossils. All fossils were collected from the beach of his family’s property except for the fenestelid bryozoan, which was found at a gas station on the way there. please enjoy this collection of gastropods, petoskey stones, various tabulate corals, crinoids, stromatoporoids, bivalves, Brachiopods, tenteculites, horn corals, an unidentified agatized fossil in jasper matrix

All Devonian -ish. First is from port Huron, second is from the Milwaukee formation, third is from the Nike missile site in Waukesha WI

Found two of these fossils now. Both on beaches that are probably Devonian in age. One is from SW Wisconsin on Lake Michigan and the other is in the Lower peninsula of Michigan from the shores of Lake Huron. Organ pipe coral or some sort of burrow trace fossil? Thanks!

Found on a Devonian beach on Lake Huron in port Huron. Thanks!

My daughter found this off of Lake Huron shoreline and did a lick test and it stuck.We tried looking online but couldn’t figure it out, does it look like a fossil and if so what kind? Thank you! We are newbies here. (Front and back pictures)

This was found in SW Ontario along the coast of Lake Huron. It looks trilobite-like, but I’m new to the area and am unaware of fossils in area. I would appreciate any assistance in identifying this. Thank you!

This was found in Southampton on the beach. Would like help in ID-ing it. I am thinking pumice stone, but maybe sponge coral? The back side shows impressions of shell fossils, and inside there is a lighter layer/section you can see, could this be more shell fossils inside ? I tried scratching it and it is soft. Could/should I try splitting it to see what is inside?

Found this fossil loose on a limestone shoreline on St. Joseph Island located at the north end of Lake Huron in Ontario, Canada. I am a civil engineer and have some experience with rocks but I’m fairly new to fossils. Any help identifying would be great!

I have been collecting fossils for many years, but this fossil is without a doubt the strangest and most mysterious of the fossils I’ve ever found- I would really appreciate your help in helping solve this mystery of what it is and how old it is! It was found on the rocky shores of Lake Huron in Southampton, Ontario. I initially was interested in it because it looked like a boot and I thought it was a native carving, but realized it must be a fossil of something I’ve never seen before. It’s very interesting to me because it almost seems to be coiled like a spine of an animal, but could also be

Found 2 of these in harrisville, Michigan in Lake Huron. Can you tell me if this is a fossil? If so what is it? thanks

Hey folks: I have a cottage on the Sauble River not far from Lake Huron. I am an English teacher and Chaplain but I have always been interested in the science of the world around me. At the bottom of the river there are rock "shelves" that are fragmented and this sedimentary stone (?) broke away. I flipped it over and saw this shape. There were actually two but I am conscious of file size. My rookie guess is a crinoid stem but better to ask the experts. Thank you in advance! Jon.

Can you help identify this bone/fossil found on Lake Huron beach?
Mulholland posted a topic in Fossil ID
The other week I found a bone(left) on a Lake Huron beach (Ontario, Canada). The bone is roughly 2.5cm tall and 3cm wide, 1cm thick. To the right of the bone is a "rock" I found yesterday. I felt it looked too similar to the bone I had found. Here they are back to back. Does anyone know what kind of bone this is? And does anyone know if the specimen to the right is infact a fossil, or is it just a rock? Hopefully this is structured well enough. If you have more questions please ask! This is my first post here so thanks for having me. - Chris -
Hi everyone! I am brand new to fossil hunting and have two new fossils that I found today. I know pretty much nothing about them and I’m hoping someone can tell me what they are! They were found on the beach at Lighthouse Park in Port Huron, at Lake Huron/the mouth of the St. Clair River. I’m a little more interested in Fossil #1 (I labeled them in the photos), so there are a few extra photos of that one. Any info at all would be greatly appreciated, I am dying of curiosity!

Hello! This (potential?) fossil was found down at lake Huron by Goderich Ontario, Canada. It was given to me by someone else because the pattern is reminiscent of a spider web. I'm more of an arachnid collector than a fossil collector, so I have no idea where to begin with this one! I hoped someone would have an idea of what it is, if it's a fossil at all! It's about 1 inch and 1/3rd in diameter, and roughly one half 2/3rds of an inch 'tall' when laid flat. It may be difficult to tell from the images, but the 'front' dips inwards towards the center. I hope that helps in addition

We recently went camping in Port Huron, MI and found 7 sharks teeth. Last year a boy found a megalodon tooth in the port Huron river. We were near Lake Huron. Crazy right?!?

My family and I found 2 ENORMOUS slabs of what I think is Fossile Hash. Though the stones are large I think they washed up recently. I took tons of pictures, but they’re not that great! I wasn’t sure what I was looking at, but it was easy to make out a few fossils knstantly. The more I look the more I see! It took me 3 hours on the internet to find the term Fossile Hash, I have almost 0 knowledge to share with my kids on this! I will try to upload a few pictures! Would this even be considered Fossil Hash? Are any of the fossils identifiable from the pictures? I know you can’t take

This is another one I found on the beach in upper Michigan. Devonian and about one half inch long. Slightly raised off rock. Wondering if it’s a fossil or not. Thanks!

Hello. While vacationing along Lake Huron in Michigan, I found a rather impressive, and likely rare, fossil (see image). It is clearly a vertebrate with skull, spine, appendages, and pelvic region relatively intact and clearly visible. The specimen is approximately 2 inches by 2 inches in size. Any advice or direction, as to whom I should contact to identify/analyze my find would be most appreciated. Thank you very much for your time.

A total newbie here looking for an ID. Thoughts?

Some more coral from Lake Huron. Same genus as the Hexagonaria, or a different genus? I found two different individuals. I've got pictures of them both.

I found this rock at a beach at Lake Huron. It has a net-like covering. Is this actually a fossil?
-
A pretty neat little fossil from the coast of Lake Huron, Michigan. Two individuals, one on each side. Possibly Mesozoic in age.
