Today I finished searching through some matrix a friend sent me from the Alden Pyrite Beds (Middle Devonian; Ludlowville Formation, Ledyard Shale). I found a bunch of cool Tornoceras goniatites, several Ambocoelia brachiopods, and even a tiny enrolled Greenops and Eldredgeops. I also found a couple fossils that I have not been able to identify yet. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what they could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! #1- 3mm in size #2- 1cm in size- looks like some type of Nuculid (note the teeth) #3- 7mm in size #4- 9mm in size

I have no idea. Suggestions have been: Crinoid Caylx or ‘gumdrop’ bryozoan starting to grow a branch. Probably growing on a brachiopod or something. Sorry forgot....found at Devonian, Penn Dixie, Hamburg, NY.

Found these at Salt Point beach of Cayuga lake. Are these rugosa corals? The length range is from 0.5 cm to 2.5 cm. Thank you!

Just as the title reads, if you look closely you can see several small clams in this but no idea what to make of the mini B-2 in there. Any ideas? This was Ilion NY btw.

This past Sunday I found this brachiopod along with several others at an exposure of the Moscow Formation (Middle Devonian) in Western NY. I looked through Linsley and Wilson without much success at identifying it. It is likely an immature specimen, which always makes figuring out an identification hard. I would love to hear your thoughts. Any help is greatly appreciated! Also, while I have your attention, I could use some help differentiating Spinatrypa spinosa and Pseudoatrypa devoniana. Spinatrypa spinosa? Pseudoatrypa devoniana?

Found this in a creek bed, middle devonian, near King Ferry, NY. Was wondering what it could be? It makes a circle. Looks to be a little chert also. Thanks Greg

Could this be an imprint from a Nautiloid Spyroceras nuntium in Sand stone? (1st photo). 2nd photo is opposite side. 3rd photo = much smaller (I believe mud mold. Why I ask is that it seems very large compared to the ones I've found...and to make sure of the id. I forgot to add: Middle Devonian, Cayuga Lake, King Ferry, NY. Thanks Greg

About 10 days ago @Jeffrey P and I collected at an exposure near his house that is full of Lower Devonian brachiopods. I was amazed by the diversity of brachiopods at the site. But what makes this site so special also makes it tough to identify everything. I did my best to identify many of my finds, but I am a bit stumped on several others. A lot of the sketches in Linsley's plates are starting to look alike. I could really use some help, even if it is a guess on the family or genus. Please let me know what you think. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! #1- Spirinella modesta? #2 #3- Cyrtina varia? #4 #5- Nucleospira ventricosa? #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12- Cloudella stewarti? #13 #14 #15- juvenile Meristella laevis?

I assumed this was some kind of Gastropod, but now wondering if it is a sponge...may not be either. I can't find a Gastropod which looks likely in Linsley's book, and there are no sponges listed. Searched on the internet and found sponges...but the "squares" look bigger than the ones on this fossil. Photos are of top, edge and underneath. Middle Devonian, Finger Lakes Region of NY, near Seneca Lake. Thanks Greg

Any ideas on ID of this. It came out of some unit the wanakah shale in an exposure in smokes creek. It’s thin except for the spot where it looks broken up where it is about 1/8 of an inch. Any ideas would be helpful.

I can see that there are 2 different Branchiopods. Larges one is 17 by 12 mm. The one that is depressed is 12 by 12 mm. Comming from the same location where I got a Orthonata undulate.Moscow Shale formation. Can someone ID these two Brachiopods?
-
Is this Stylolite? I've been told that it's coral...but, I have my doubts. Thanks Greg

Here's one that's a bit different...any ideas? Approx. 3/4" X 1/2" Found in unnamed creek near King Ferry, NY... I think it's from the Upper Tully Limestone Thanks Greg

I had posted this in the "Fossil Trips" section with different photos...There has been some discussion of what the species is. Some think its a Greenops Sp, some think Greenops bellacartwrightia and one is unsure if it's a "described species". I've been researching online and examining my Trilobite. I'm unsure it's either of the named species. There are just some troubles with each of them. The bellacartwrightia seems "more round" than mine...but mine has its spikes which are missing from the Sp. which seems narrow. Below are (hopefully) better photos. The one with the blue lines shows one obvious difference between it and the two named species. Help is welcome. It really doesn't matter what it is...I would just like the correct name. The Greenops bellacartwrightia and Greenop Sp. are named which I used for comparison. Thanks Greg Greenops bellacartwrightia Greenops Sp

I'm not sure this is recognizable...but, I think it's a Gastropod. The only thing is that the broken tip is facing the wrong way from those that I've looked at. The tip of the point is broken as shown by the arrow. And on the other side the "circle"(that is inside the blue line) corresponds to the top. And the broken tip. I'm trying to teach myself to prep. I got a slab of Limestone(not the easiest, but still) approx. 2 ft along the back...I did get a nice little Horn Coral from it so far. Thanks Greg

Could these be Lingula Brachiopods? If not, what? Thanks Greg

I've been trying find "Siliconized Rock" photos and info. Can someone let me know where I can look for it? Thanks Greg

I found this yesterday during my creek walk. It appears to either be a Coral or Sponge atop a Concretion. It also has the "mud" on top which is fairly common...but it's very hard. It was found between the Upper Tully and Lower Tully formation which are both Limestone, between is black shale. The diameter on top is approx. 10"-12" and the reveal of the side is approx. 6". Thanks Greg

I'm from near Cayuga Lake in NY. I found a piece of Fossilized plant material. The "Museum of the Earth" confirmed this and speculated that it fell into the water and sank in my area. She was however not able to identify it. To me it looks like a wood grain texture. Below, the first 2 photos of the large piece, the following 3 photos are close ups of a smaller chunk from that piece. Thanks Greg

Hey how’s it going, just have two small things I’m curious about and figured someone would be able to put me on the right track. I’m not very familiar with this sliver of time and it’s a bit of a mystery to me. Both of these were found at different locations, but are Fiddler’s Green Upper Silurian “waterlime”. The first was found near some Eurypterid bits (on different plates) but it was surface collection effectively, and found in a large pile (little chance of recovering the rest of it and couldn’t find any at the time). The second is from the same strata but in a location a decent distance away. I did find that with some elbow grease, but found nothing else besides plenty of salt hoppers. Both localities are in western NY. The first measures out at ~6cm/2.25in and the second is a bit under 2cm/~0.5in. I can provide anything else that is needed (scale, better quality pictures, etc.) and would really appreciate any help I could be given. Even some reference material that I could use would be really helpful. Thanks! Here is the first: Here is the second: Edit: had to fix my pictures and formatting, accidentally uploaded too many pictures.
