Hoooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here we are at last, into Adam's Silurian. Thanks for looking. First up is the Lower Silurian or Llandovery and I begin with a problem. I posted this one incorrectly in Adam's Ordovician as it had got it's label muddled up with an Ordovician Favosites I had that has vanished in the move here, but is being replaced by kind forum member @Herb Anyway, this, I remember now I've found the correct label, is from the greenish Browgill Formation, part of the Stockdale Group from a cutting near Skelgill (Skelghyll) in Cumbria, Northern England. It seems to be a tabulate coral, but I can't find any listed for this location, only mentions of small, rare, rugose corals. It has the star shaped corallites of a Heliolitidid, but seems to be tightly packed together like a Favositidid. A couple of species of Palaeofavosites seem to be close and are a bit star-shaped,, but anyone know any better? @TqB@piranha hmm who else? The coral bit, an external mold, is a maximum of 3.5 cm across and each corallite up to 2 mm.

Hello, New member who is discovering a love of fossil hunting. All of my collection comes from a large creek on our property in NE Ohio. Please check out the star fish, and possible bird track.....and comment if anyone can identify the last rib looking fossil I attached. Thanks!!

A nice Dictyonema flabelliforme dendroid graptolite from Oslo Fields in Norway. It's Tremadoc, Lower Ordovician in age and is thus maybe around 480 mya. Another angle :

What is this fossil? I am inexperienced but suspect it is a bone. Tusk? :)
Longskip posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello everyone, this is my first post so I hope I'm doing this properly. Some months ago I was visiting family in Ohio and we went fossil hunting, which is a popular activity there. Here are the details: Location found: Lebanon, Ohio (in a small riverbed) Dimensions: Height: 3.8cm Width: 2.6cm I don't have a scale to weigh it, but it is heavy the way a stone of its size would be. (I know that's a terrible way to describe the weight but I can't think of what to compare it to) It also passed the "tongue test" which I read about during my research about fossil identification. At first I thought perhaps it was a mastodon tusk segment. I read online ice age era fossils have been found in the area I was at due to it being glaciated. Thank you all so much for reading and for helping. I am completely inexperienced and uneducated in paleontology, but I am very interested. Cheers! -
I found this in the same creekbed as my other rock. This looks like a snake head of some sort. You can even see what looks like a forked tongue coming out the mouth on both sides. If you guys could just take a look. You guys crushed me on the last one,. 1st pic is looking straight at head , 2nd it's right side face , 3rd left side.notice the tongue .it looks like it had horns on top of head

Hello, I wanted to see if anyone would be able to identify this fossil I found in Clarington Ohio. I know it's a coral and I know it's a bryozoan and I'm suspecting it's a Rhombopora however I'm willing to look into any of the species you guys can offer! Thanks for your help. (The fossil in question is roughly an inch long if you're wondering)

Hello, I know the photo is lacking. Going to look for a camera tonight. Nonetheless, here is a fossil from the Dundee of Ohio. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this being a Cyclocystoid, and if you have found similar in the Dundee anywhere. Thanks (And if so, what was your identification)

Cincinnati Museum Center Donations
Sauropod19 posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
Hi all! At last Friday’s Dry Dredgers meeting, I handed over the two Ordovician fossils below to Dr. Carl Brett for the Cincinnati Museum Center! Standard business card for scale. This coral, which I have wrongly been identifying as Favosites sp., is from the campus of Hanover College in Indiana, in their Dr. Daryl Karns trail system. This was donated with permission from the Hanover College Geology Faculty. This Treptoceras sp. comes from the US-68 road cut in Maysville, KY, Kope Formation.- 3 replies

A question about the brachiopods Paraspirifer bownockeri
Misha posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hello everyone, I have been wondering about this for a bit but only now that I atually have one of these in my collections have I decided to ask this, All of the P. bownockeri I have seen have been pyritized and I wanted to ask why this is, I do not know of any other brachiopods like this because while there are some I have seen preserved in pyrite they are from areas where the rest of the fossils are also pyritized, from what I have seen its mostly just this species that is commonly found fully pyritized from this formation. The only thing I can think of is maybe they are found in a specific layer which is why they are the ones that are primarily pyritized. So my question is, what causes this? Also do these brachiopods come preserved in other mineral such as calcite? If anyone knows or has any useful sources I would love to hear it! Thank you very much, Misha- 7 replies

Saw this fishing yesterday. It’s inset in a large boulder laid down as erosion control at the lower end of a dam spillway. I’m very tempted to call it a turtle shell but I have no idea what it is. It’s about 8-9” across and 3-4” deep.

Hi, I recently found this mussel in a gravel pit. Looking online it seems to match the profile of Cincinntennia meeki, but the measurements seem quite larger than what people say it should generally be. Thanks for the help.

I found this rock hiking along side a small creek in northern Ohio in Erie county, only a few miles from Lake Erie. The brown piece is not magnetic. The rock seems to be limestone which this area has a lot. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Michael

From the album: My trilobites
A stacked Eldredgeops milleri from Sylvania Ohio. This one was prepped with RockQuat as well as normal means which made the rock softer and that's why it looks different. -
From the album: My trilobites
A near perfect Eldredgeops crassituberculata. From Paulding Ohio. This is the nicest roller from Ohio I own. -
I have been collecting for about three years now in various parts of West Virginia. I was thinking it might be nice to meet some others in the area that are interested in fossils and maybe do a couple trips to different localities. I would be happy to travel anywhere in WV and locations in neighboring states as well. I have included a picture of a nice Archimedes I recently found in Mercer County because we all love fossil pictures!

Hi, here are pics of my various gastropods from the NW Ohio Dundee. I have tried to assign names based primarily on old literature (Stauffer Bassett), combined with google images. Soo, the names may be out of date or wrong. Interestingly neither Turbinatus or Mastigospira seem to appear in the old faunal lists; interesting because although not abundant, I have found multiple examples. All depends on the layer, I suppose. Anyway, please chime in if you have better names, and comment on how these finds line up with Dundee elsewhere (aka, Ontario).

UPDATE: This could be Murchisonia sp. which has been recorded from the underlying Dundee Limestone and deposited in the Ohio State University Museum of Biological Diversity. Hello, I found a rare conispiral gastropod steinkern in the middle Devonian (Givetian) Silica Shale of Paulding, Ohio, last week. It's the first strongly conispiral gastropod I've ever found in the Middle Devonian (let-alone the Silica Shale). I looked through the FUMMP online database as well as the "Strata and Megafossils of the Middle Devonian Silica Formation" published by FUMMP and couldn't find any taxa that looked like this. It has the general shape of Paleozygopleura known from the Hamilton Group of New York. Is anyone aware of a snail with this general morphology that has been reported from the Silica Shale? Scale in mm.
