Fro a while now I've found these strange, conodont-like structures on the exteriors of rocks found in Seven Stars, Pa (Mahantango formation, Late Middle Devonian). They appear similar to Prioniodininid elements, but I have not been able to identify them precisely. The second picture even looks like an Ozarkodinid and preserves at least 3 elements. In the 3rd, another element can be seen below the one highlighted. Any ideas? Scale in first picture roughly 1 mm, all magnified circa. 60x.

Since we both had the day off, my daughter and I spent a couple of hours at the Deer Lake site (Schuylkill County PA). It was a beautiful sunny day in the mid 50s! A good start to this years fossiling adventures...

Crinoid Colony Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania -
Picture this, it was 378 million years ago, the seafloor was covered with unimaginable creatures ranging from crinoids and brachiopods to the glorious trilobite. These beautiful creatures lived in peace and harmony as they thrived. Then one day, they were buried, quickly, not to see the light of day for hundreds of millions of years later. That was until my friends and I found them and became the first to set eyes on them in a very, very long time. And now I share these images with you, the reader. Now you have joined this elite club of very, very few to see these specific once-living creatures. And that is exactly why I love this field. That said, I took my friends to one of my favorite spots within my favorite Devonian formation, the Mahantango. This site has always yielded beautiful Mucrospirifers with their iconic “wings” still intact. Below are some of the brachiopods that I found, I found a lot more than just these two, but I think these were some of the better ones found that day. This site also yields the opportunity to find the much elusive (to me) trilobite. I never found a trilobite at this site, but I knew there was one here, and unfortunately, I still haven’t found one. However, my friend Allie found a beautiful, fully intact, folded, Dipluera Dekayi. These trilobites are often fragmented, so the fact that she found a fully completed one, is unbelievable! Sadly, a thunderstorm came through and ended our fossil-hunting excursion a little earlier than we would have liked. Maybe I’ll bring my friends back when I go again, maybe they’re the good luck charm! Or maybe I won’t so that any trilobite found will be mine!!! *PS* Not sure why all my photos are on the side, they are right side up any other time...

Found At Seven Stars PA a while ago, I am not sure weather this is a spine from the pygidium of a Greenops boothi, or if it is part of a phyllocarid telson. I am not an expert on arthropods, for all I know it could be a hyolithid (Hallotheca aclis). Adjacent fossil is a tiny gastropod, scale bar 5 mm.

Could use a second opinion. Mahantango formation of the Devonian from Pennsylvania 1 a broken bivalve, brachiopod or crinoid? 2 shell material with a spiriferid brachiopod 3 brachiopod 4 crinoid? 5 crinoid and shell material? 6 fenestella bryozoan? 7 not sure maybe just the rock 8 fenestella bryozoan?

I was recently looking at one of my cephalopod fossils when I came upon this. The only explanation I can come up with is that it is a scolecodont, the jaws of polychaete worms, and these have been found in the Hamilton group before (Arabellites sp.) However, I've never seen pictures of scolecodonts in which the jaw doubles back on itself as it does here. I included an interpretive drawing to show what I am seeing. The size appears to be a little bigger than what my book predicted scolecodonts to be; I cannot give a precise measure because my microscope does not show this information. Am I simply looking at the top, like in the famous Websteroprion reconstruction?

Hello all, I noticed something unusual when cleaning this rather large brachiopod steinkern. Frankly I am stumped: what do you guys think? Found in Perry County, Pennsylvania. Mahantango formation. Middle Devonian.
