Hey I am currently going through and reorganizing my collection when I came across these that have no Id information, I was wondering if I could get some help with these fossils. The first was sent to me by a friend in Montreal, QC, and was collected on the south shore. Other than that, no information came with it. I think its an endocast from a snail shell. The second and third I collected personally, and they are from the Hull formation in Ottawa, ON. The second is a brachiopod, but I don't know the species. Finally, the third is also from the same site, and is about 2 cm long. When I first recorded it I labeled it as a split snail shell, but I'm questioning that now. Thanks in advance for your help everyone.

Hi there, I am Tom a 31 year old (mostly) mineral collector and am looking to hopefully find someone who is looking to possibly go on some mineral or fossil collecting trips I am married and like to on mineral collection trips with my wife since it is something we both enjoy. Unfortunately she works so much that we do not get to go very often. We are up to meeting some other people to go with if the circumstances are there. She is 27 I am 31, we are both working professionals, I do not drive due to being Epileptic, she does, and is willing to drive on some occasions if someone else is willing to. I am willing to pay my share in gas and food and to share my best spots with someone who is interested in collecting minerals/gemstones etc. I have done 100s of hours of research and visited 50+ abandoned mines close to Ottawa or Gatineau. No guessing or wasting time at spots that are no good would be spent if you go collecting with me or my wife. All of the spots are within 1 to 4 hours of Ottawa and I can show you how to distinguish different minerals and teach you about geology...Even if you have limited fossil knowledge I am willing to share my best spots for minerals if you are genuinely interested. If you are not willing to physically go on collecting trip eventually we will exchange info about my hits and misses for minerals if you are also willing to share with me about fossils locations or mineral spots... That is pretty much it... -Tom-
