Hello! I found these fossils(?) at Estabrook park which is part of the Devonian Milwaukee formation. They appear to be external moulds. These were found near the Lindwurm and Berthelet Members. Are these jawless fish? Big brachiopods? Non-fossils? I’m stumped on these. The formation is known for its plants, giant fungi, jawed and jawless fish, Cephalopods, and Conulariids. So sorry for the lack of scale! I need to start carrying a tape measure with my fossil hunting backpack.

A friend asked me to look at this fossil he discovered at the base of a limestone bluff in NE Iowa it is a Native American winter camp and cave complex. Have found trilobite and marine fossils in the area. It looks remarkably like a tall molar or short bone but a couple hundred million years too old. Does anybody recognize this? My best guess is that is a stalk of a plant precursor?

Found this echinoderm in Paleozoic rock. Crinoid calyx or something else?

Found in some landscaping gravel I’ve found boatloads of crinoid stems at. Brachiopods and gastropods are not too uncommon in those rocks. Paleozoic, likely Ordovician-Silurian.- 3 replies

Wow. This was one of my favorite hunts I’ve had in a long time. I’ve been looking for Paleozoic sharks teeth for a really long time, and have finally stumbled across them. I took a trip out to southeastern Ohio, and I’m not disappointed to say the least. These sites were really small, but I found a LOT of shark teeth, and fish fossils as well. Here’s the finds: Shark teeth: These sharks teeth are a lot smaller than the ones I find at home, but they’re a whole lot cooler since they’re new. This one is broken. This one’s a really nice sharks tooth. That’s probably one of my best from the day. Another broken Paleozoic sharks tooth. The first one I found. I think this is a fish tooth. Yeah this one’s super nice. Another awesome complete Paleozoic sharks tooth from southeastern Ohio. Biggest sharks tooth from this site. About a 1/4 inch big. What an awesome tooth! I think this is a tooth as well. I don’t know whether this is a tooth, or a vertebrae, buts it’s still awesome. All and all, today was a great day. I had fun collecting Paleozoic shark teeth, thank you Ohio!

Looks like it’s been turned to beekite. Found in Paleozoic gravel alongside numerous gastropods on a rail road.

Is this a conulariid? Found this weird imprint in the same rock as some brachiopods. Found armored fish bone, crinoids, corals, and bryozoans.

Location: Vestavia Hills, AL Paleozoic While inspecting this rock, a tiny barb pricked my finger. Initially, I was thinking it was a tiny piece of plant debris superficially attached. However, as more of the area became exposed after cleaning, it appears to be clearly embedded. Also, additional similar areas became exposed. Unclear if they are part of the same thing or separate inclusions. My wild guesses: Spicule? Small arthropod leg (though I realize that is in likely to be preserved)? Bryozoa? Thoughts? Last 2 pics: Potential related debris sifted and sorted for after soaking. Thanks for taking a look

Found on the railroad tracks. Confident it’s an echinoderm based on the apparent pentaradial symmetry. Heart urchin? Probably Ordovician to Silurian stone. Definitely Paleozoic.
