I'm in the process right now of sorting out and identifying my finds from the Formosa Reef, Amherstburg Formation, Middle Devon from the roadcut just north of Formosa, Ontario on road #12. These ones here have got me somewhat stumped and I'm hoping that someone can help me out. You can see the 3-dimensionally spiraled gastropod in the following 3 photos, first on the right and then on the left. I'm thinking that it may be a Mourlonia sp., as Tidgy's dad suggested in Monica's report on the site. But what concerns me are the 2 other ones. They are not 3-dimensionally spiral, but rather planspiral, which makes me wonder if they might not be goniatites, even though I can't make out any lobes on them. I haven't been able to find anything like these within this time frame on the internet, so I'm hoping for some suggestions here.

Recently I was for one week in the Ardennes in Belgium. There I visited different locations where you can find fossils. For example I was in Barvaux and found many brachiopods: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/77098-mainly-brachiopods-from-barvaux/. I also visited the old Lesse quarry near Resteigne, where you can many different fossils. For instance I found many brachiopods, corals and also some trilobite parts ! The layers belong to the Eifelium, Middle Devon. Too bad that the weather was not that good but I am nonetheless satisfied with my fiends: Here are some pictures of the quarry: Its an old quarry and the nature reclaims the area more and more. So you also see some nice animals ! Now too my finds: Firstly some brachiopods: They are indeed very common there so I found many. Those brachiopods are all Sieberella sp. or? Here a detailed picture of one (3 cm long): And this should be a Spinatrypa sp. or?
