Anisomyon sp., Fannin Co. Campanian, Cretaceous Aug, 2021 One of my earliest finds and I had no idea what it was. It was included in my first post on this site and identified by @DPS Ammonite. Thanks! -

Anisomyon cf. cassidarius, Denton Co. Turonian, Cretaceous Jan, 2023 Anisomyon are limpet-like gastropods found throughout Cretaceous strata. They are conic in shape and have a characteristic single ridge running from the center to the edge of the shell. These gastropods are known from the uppermost Arcadia Park, but little research has been dedicated to them. Anisomyon cassidarius has been reported from the Lower Turonian to Santonian and shares some visual similarities with my specimen. Surprisingly, this is not my first example of Anisomyon; I have a larger one from th -
Hi! I’m still trying to identify one fossil from a particular unit of Pleistocene/Early Holocene lacustrine silt from my hometown of Saskatoon, but I figured I would look away from it for a bit to try and identify another fossil from the same unit I’ve been unable to classify. I have two specimens, both apparently of the same species. They are both approximately 0.5 millimetres across. They are perfectly circular, with lines radiating from the centre and rings of alternating colours (possibly representing growth lines). One specimen is photographed dorsally, showing its circular shape, the ot

Hi. This was found in a spot in the SF East Bay area, CA, right on the border between Eocene/Domingene and Lower Cretaceous sedimentary. Spiral-shaped gastropods and bivalves are dominant, but I found this oval one shown in the middle of the pic below. It's a familiar shape, maybe a Limpet? Any thoughts appreciated.

All of these were found on gravel bars on Elm Creek in north-eastern Kansas, as we kayak on it a lot.

So, while looking for shale that may have plant imprints (nadda ) or conodonts (also nadda ) and finding absolutely nothing splitting open countless layers (I wanted to make the shale layers in Kansas City look uniform so I've separated all of them for future fossil hunters ) I came upon this single fossil. To me it reminds me of modern-day smooth shelled limpets. This black shale layer was between winterset limestone and Sniabar limestone layers in Kansas City (from R. Gentile). It is about 3/8" long by 2/8" wide and a little over 1/8" thick-two different "lightings". Thoughts, as usual, m

What type of fossil is this? I've found specimens from 8inches to 30inches across in chalk cliffs in New Zealand. Thank you for any advice.

A very nice limpet shell. These are very fragile and are most often found broken.

Hello! Someone I know found this rock close to his house. The rock is very hard, can't make no scratch on it. I though it could be a fossil, like a limpet track or I don't know...? Does someone know what it is? Thank you! Fossile patelle?.pdf

Found among the shell hash caused by a Pleistocene tsunami.
