From the album: Urban Fossils of Toronto (Georgian Bay Formation, Lower Member)
Endoceras proteiforme, found in the Humber river area. Late Ordovician, Georgian Bay formation, Toronto, Ontario. Length is approximately 35 cm long with a nickel shown. This specimen is a portion of the whole fossil that is still to be excavated (it's just so difficult to dig out) and the remaining body of this thing is still there at the site where I got this.© (©)

A second and more detailed photo of the modiolopsis slab. This one shows a little bit more detail, hopefully. Also, it appears that this thing is not full of modiolopsis as I first concluded, but rather it is full of Whiteavesia pholadiformis. There is also a Cymatonota lenoir, and it appears to me that there is only one specimen of modiolopsis, which would be M. concentrica. Dime shown for scale, and Georgian Bay formation, Mimico creek.© (©)

This forum looks great. Happy to be a part of it now. I am interested in fossil hunting in Toronto and the surrounding area. Fossil hunting was one of my activities growing up in Oshawa, ON. Now I am getting back into it as an adult and looking to get more education from it.
