    Paleozoic Finds

    Hello, I am hoping for some input regarding some recent rock finds in an area recently exposed after heavy rains & flooding. I will probably split them up over a couple of posts. Appreciate any help in understanding these rocks. Location: Vestavia Hills, AL Paleozoic (from Ordovician to Pennsylvanian) Rock 1: Object just left of center- Bivalve? Trilobite? Rock 1: dark areas are moss - creating a bit of an optical illusion in the photo. Rock 1: close up of area on top right of rock 1, Shiny brown with white outline with some type of inclusion. Rock 1: close up of brown shiny area with white outline on front side. Resin? Rock 2: Weathered Bivalve? Rock 2: Different viewRock 2Rock 2: Backside Rock 3: could this be part of a trilobite?Rock 3Rock 3Rock 1: sorry I can’t figure out how to move photo to the rest of the photo group

    Found my first ever microfossils!

    Tiny crinoid columnals. Coming back to the same beach with a sieve tonight.
  3. One is pyritized and I have no clue what it is. The other I’m thinking is a plant? Found alongside loads of crinoids
  4. Tales From the Shale

    Orthocone Rarity

    How rare are phragmocones from cephlapods? Are they something you need to get into a quarry to find, or can you recover them out of roadcuts? This is for the Midwest, like Illinois, Wisconsin etc.
  5. SilurianSalamander

    I’m thinking ostracoderm or placoderm bone?

    Never seen this texture on a brachiopod or bryozoan before. Found in Wisconsin gravel.

    My trilobite collection

    Not just teeth and shells: my fossil collection also includes trilobites, the real protagonists of the Palaeozoic era. The first is a beautiful specimen of Morocops ovatus. Detail of the cephalon area:
  7. Hi! Looking for help with IDs & also What is this type of fossil called (counter-impression? cast?). Specimen from Crane Hill, Alabama. Thanks for looking Pics 1-plate overview- several potential invertebrates? 2- Potential invertebrate? Some of my newbie guesses: Trilobite (side view) Eurypterid- can’t find definitive info about if locale only had the giant type Crinoid (eg saggital view) Bryzoan Gooseneck barnacle- not sure when these appeared 3- same critter, different angle 4-other invertebrates? 5-stellate shaped imprint? 6-another area of plate showing black ‘spots’ 7-black ‘spots’ look angular, maybe cubic) on high power. No idea if or how this helps, but I wanted to see if it was mold (seems less likely). Included pic for fun (apologies for the quality).
  8. Found last week in small stream in my yard south of Bham, AL which contains mainly early/mid Paleozoic era and potentially some late. This specimen resembles a crab fossil specimen from AL, but the time period doesn’t match up. Encyclopedia of AL Thus, what could it be? IMO, does not resemble the pics I find for Eurypterus pinchers. Another possibility is that it could have been mixed in with landscape river rocks rocks uphill from the stream?
  9. I saw this chunk on a sales table at the recent Rendezvous of BC rockhound clubs here on the Island. Had to have it, though I keep telling myself to avoid fossils with no provenance. Anyone recognize it or have any hunches as to ID and especially location of origin? I guess somewhere on the eastern half of the continent... It appears to be a mix of cherty and crystallized composition. Whoever owned it before didn't treat it very kindly (lapidary types)... Apparently there once was a label of some sort glued to the top, and the rough saw cut which I hope to flatten better and polish someday.
  10. Found in yard after heavy rain storm. The last photo is prior to cleaning off thick clay -like coating. I may have overdone it. Thanks for looking:)

    Paleozoic fossil from a gravel pit

    Burrow? Coral? Bryozoan?
  12. I think it looks shockingly similar to charnia. Maybe a cephalopod, snail, or plant? What could it be?
  13. One of my friends has a Whitfieldoceras specimen from the Ordovician of Wisconsin. He asked me if I knew anything more about it. I didn't and didn't see much online. Does it have a record outside the Ordovician? Is it found elsewhere in the U.S./the world? I have the same question about Beloitoceras. He has one of those from the same site. I think I have one from a Minnesota site somewhere but couldn't find it. Is it known from elsewhere and did it survive beyond the Ordovician? Thanks, Jess

    Bottlecap-shaped Paleozoic Fossil

    Can someone please identify this fossil for me? I found it in Broome County, New York and I believe it to date from the Paleozoic era as I found it in association with bivalve fossils which means the fossil in question is likely a marine species and New York was underwater during the Paleozoic.
  15. Hi everyone! Last weekend I took a couple of days off work for my birthday and I decided to visit a fossil spot in the ardennes which was recently recommended to me because there was a chance to find fossils of primitive plants as well as devonian fish (which is one of my main interests within the hobby). The site is relatively close by as well which was a huge plus as it only took an hour to drive. The fossils in this location date back to the late Devonian, Famennian to be exact (372.2 million years ago to 358.9 million years ago) After searching for a 45 minutes we finally found the top spot with the right layer rich in plant material, here are some in situ pictures of the larger examples (which we didn't extract). If I am correct I believe these are the remains of Rhacophyton condrusorum which is a primitive species of fern if I remember reading once. We were also lucky to find some fossils of devonian fish, which was the main reason for our visit. A lovely small Lungfish (Dipnoi indet) tooth An imprint of a fish scale of bone While it was quite a cold day, it was sunny and we had a quiet afternoon at the spot where we could search in peace.

    Coral or sponge?

    Hi guys! I was in the Warsaw Geological Museum and there I came across this specimen which reminded me of Tabulate coral, but it was signed as a "sponge"... The sponge from the "maastrichtian age", when Tabulata already was extinct. I couldn't be more confused. This one still looks like coral to me. What do you think?
