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.

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

I found this odd piece in a grey shale layer in a place with devonian age matrix and fossils from new york with various layers from flakier layers compact with fossils to harder layers like this gray shale layer that this one thats not as compact with fossils as the other ones. I am unaware of devonian fish remains from new york and I usually do not notice odd minerals in the grey shale layer so this this piece baffles me, these small shiny "scales" sort of reminds me of how the devonian fish fossils of the old red sandstone of the uk kinda preserve but other than that I have no idea what else to compare this to. Any thoughts on this piece will be greatly appreciated as I've never come across anything like it at the site.

This Bivalve is from the Middle Devonian, near Seneca Lake in NYS. Could this be Modiella pygmaea? Thanks Greg

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?

I've found quite a few of these and wonder if they were a bi valve? Wondered why the shell wouldn't have fossilized like the others? In first photo...top, right...second photo: top, center 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

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
