Hey all, I'm hoping that one of you has access to a page that's missing from the online pdf version of USGS Professional Paper 203: James Williams' 1943 STRATIGRAPHY AND FAUNA OF THE LOUISIANA LIMESTONE OF MISSOURI. The missing page is Plate 9. I have everything else, so if you happen to have access to a hardcopy version, just scan the plate and post it here, thanks so much! -

Hello, I made a schematic of the Paleozoic the other day. schematic is probably not the right word for it but it's the best one I can think of, it's supposed to show the periods inside the Paleozoic and while not being perfectly accurate the idea of this thing is to give you a visual general idea of how long were the periods of the Paleozoic and some important events. It's not meant to be perfect but if I have any mistakes in the timeline I would love to know about them especially because my sources of information weren't great. I know it's not scientific at all and pretty poorly mad

When was the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event? (GOBE)?
Daniel Fischer posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hello, I have a question about the great ordivician biodiversification events (GOBE). I know this series of events happened between the late cambrian and the late ordivician but are there more specific dates for it? For example like the great dying was about 250 million years ago. I couldn't find anything more specific then late cambrian to late ordivician but if you know something more specific or you know that there isn't a more specific date please tell me, I would love to know! -
Can anyone help ID these fossils given to me with no info on location/period?
TRexEliot posted a topic in Fossil ID
I prefer to find my own fossils, but over the years I've been given a handful of things by friends and family. Most of these were given with no accompanying information about the location where they were found or the geological age. I'd be very appreciative of any information people here can give. -
Hello everyone, I recently got some fossils from Russia, some plant remains from Perm Krai where I grew up and a couple of Productid brachiopods from Sverdlovsk Oblast. They are from the Artinskian stage of the Permian period, one is around 2.5cm in width while the other even though incomplete is absolutely gigantic, the largest I have in my collection. I am not great at identifying Productid brachiopods and the Permian is probably the period I have least experience with within the Paleozoic so I have not been able to ID them myself. The large one looks similar to some Reticula

Can anyone help me identify these potential fossils that I found at Sunset Beach in Cape May, NJ?
Suchascenicworld posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello everyone, I apologise in advance for the lower quality photos, my phone is quite old and the camera is going. Anyways, I was down in Cape May this past weekend and I decided to beach comb on sunset beach. i found several interesting items, and I was wondering if I can get some input regarding what they are. The first two images seem to be a similar type of fossil (if it is one). I am wondering if it could potentially be Paleozoic (if anything?). However, I am not sure exactly what it is, nor the material that it is made of. The third image I think co -
I found what I think is a geode in a small stream here in Vigo County, Indiana. Brought it home and discovered all these unusual circular patterns along the narrower edges. Looks like urchin but I have not been able to find a similar type online. It does not feel hollow. Has anyone seen a similar surface patter on another specimen?

I've had these for close to 20 years now and have shown some of them before but figured it was time to do a proper job of looking for info. (If I did before, I can't find the topic) I know nothing about these, either ID or location. They were part of a batch of fossils I received from an old rockhound couple in Nanaimo, which wasn't too carefully curated (a common problem with rockhounds/casual fossil collectors). Looking for info on the mystery items from that lot is what brought me to the Forum in the first place more than 10 years ago. I know Riley's Canyon, Utah has red corals, b

Sponge fossil from the late Paleozoic of southern Nevada?

Is anyone familiar with the Paleozoic formations on Bear Mountain, just northwest of Silver City, New Mexico? I have collected there a couple of times but am unsure as to which formation I was sampling. My first guess is that it is the Andrecito Member of the Lake Valley Limestone (Mississippian (Early Osage) but I know that there are also fossils found in the underlying Devonian Percha Shale, especially east of Silver City. There are a variety of brachiopods, bryozoans, rugose corals, and some crinoid bits. The photos show one of the larger brachiopods. Do you recognize it? Thanks.

This colonial rugose coral was found in Clarksville, TN and was sent to me just a few days ago and i’m not very well versed in Cnidarian classification, any ideas on a species?

I don’t know where it was found or how old was it is. I found it at one of the cave the mounds sleuthing sites in Dane county Wisconsin, its about 3cm long and looks a bit like coral.

This fossil was found at the North Attleboro fossil site, and I’ve had it marked down as a species of Sphenopteris but i’m not 100% certain

I was given this Eurypterid fossil a while back and I was looking to see if anyone had any ideas towards a species, i’ve got no idea where it came from other than somewhere in the New England/Canada area. Someone has told me it looks like an Adelophthalamus but id like some more opinions. Thank you
