Hi this was found in the Moscow formation a while back u just keep it because it looked interesting but after doing some research I found that it could be Devonian fish skull or bone thanks for any feedback and I hope I can learn more about this piece.Thanks

Hello to everyone, I am interested in collecting along Spring Creek in Alden, NY, and have read that the best sites are between RT 20 and Crittenden Rd. If anyone has recommendations or advice, I would be very appreciative. I am traveling up from Maryland and will visit several sites in addition. As this is my first post although having joined some time ago, hello to all. I have been an avid collector of fossils for many years and have finally set up a work station to begin the task of learning how to prepare specimens. Fossil Forum has been of great value to me in a multitude of ways. Thanks to all those who do the work to keep the site in great shape. Regards, SandyP

Mystery Trilobite From Western New York: Non-Greenops Non-Eldredgeops Phacopid?
NoahW24 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Last year, while looking around a quarry in Upstate NY (Middle Devonian, Moscow fm), I stumbled across a trilo-bit I have had trouble placing. It’s some kind of phacopid, but not an Eldredgeops, and it just doesn’t feel like a Greenops. Found at a site with associated Dipleura dekayi, Greenops, Eldredgeops, Tornoceras, orthocerid nautiloids. The first photo is the mystery bug in question, followed by a Greenops and an Eldredgeops from the same site for easy side-by-side comparison. The final picture is a close visual analogue I’ve found online, though it is Moroccan and I am unsure of the location of origin.

I went to a park and found some fossils in a rock. Took the rock home to crack it open and found very impressive crinoid molds, as well as a crinoid itself! It looks almost crystallized on the inside (if you have any info about that please let me know) and i found some cool ammonite and shell imprints :)
-
Someone over on Reddit told me this is a trace of the base of a Crinoid (feather duster?). Firstly looking to confirm this, and secondly trying to understand the average age. Found on an ocean beach on Long Island, NY. From what I understand this area is quite young and formed via a glacier... although I am not sure how this affects the potential age of rocks/fossils on the beaches. I am VERY new to this, so just trying to learn about my area. Thanks!

Yesterday I decided to make the journey across the border to check out the Penn Dixie site. My ever obliging bf (pictured) joined me as another set of eyes and so he could have fun hitting things with a hammer. Neither of us had ever done anything like this so I wasn't really sure what to expect! But I think we got a pretty good haul for a first time visit. Shout out to our tour guide Kevin for the nice intro to the site and tips on tool use. I am already itching to go back, I had to force myself to leave because I was certain a nice plate of multiple prone trilobites was just certain to be in the next shale we split... Will reply with more pics

Just some cool fossils I found ( broome county, New York)
-
I would be very grateful for any help regarding ids of these tiny oddments found in a matrix piece from the Early Devonian Helderberg Group, Kalkberg Formation of the Rickard Hill Road cut, Schoharie, New York state. The piece contains four really nice brachiopods, the horn coral Enterolasma strictum and a lot of tiny crinoid ossicles. Perhaps, in strict alphabetical order, @Darktooth @Fossildude19 @Jeffrey P@Misha or @Nautiloid might be able to throw some light on them? Thank you. This first one seems to be encrusting along the growth lines of large, flat specimen of Discomyorths oblata. Could it be a cornulitid of some sort? About 2.5mm long. This first picture seems to show it as pointy, but if you look, the wider end is actually sort of horseshoe shaped ans seems to have an opening infilled with sediment. It seems to show growth lines. The second specimen I thoght might be a tentaculitid, but now I'm leaning towards a gastropod? Note the very fine striations. About 3mm. What about these, please? Some are clearly stemmed echinoderm ossicles, but is that a tiny lingulid. Are there ostracods? These are all only a millimetre or two across. These last two may be burrows? A white one: And a darker one: Finally, tis nice to know they had McDonalds in New York back in the Early Devonian. Thanks to everyone for looking and for any assistance.

We recently purchased a property in lower Albany County. It has tons of rock walls throughout and I found this today just to the side of one of the rock walls. I have no idea what I'm looking at here other than my husband telling me I found a fossil. Worth it to continue looking in the same area?

I am on vacation in SW Vermont.. Last evening, I had dinner with my niece and friend. She has an interest in fossils (I gave her many as presents and she has hunted the Peace River a couple of times.) A while ago, her friend was at a Flea Market and from a cardboard box labeled "New York", he got a number of rocks that contained fossils for her. That is all I know....and I am certainly no expert on fossils in rocks from the Northeast.... RockFossil #1 Rock Fossil #2 RockFossil #3 Rock Fossil #4 Rock Fossil #5 Rock Fossil #6 Any and all comments and or suggestions appreciated

Found this last year at a quarry in Cobleskill, New York on an outing with the New York Paleontological Society. The area of the quarry we were collecting in was identified as the Onondaga Limestone which is Middle Devonian. The different members were all jumbled together so I can't be more specific. Is this a concretion with fossil material or a sponge or whatever? Other fossils found there include corals, brachiopods, crinoids, bryozoans, and trilobites. The specimen is is approximately one inch in diameter and more disc shaped than round. Thanks for your input.

I apologize for the images. The piece is about 6-7 cm. Found on a Lake Erie beach in New York. Any ideas?
-
Can someone tell me if this is a fossil? Or can tell me anything about it. It looks like some type of fish. The back was unusual so I added a photo
