I visited a coal mine last weekend with a group, and we had a good time finding Carboniferous era fossils. There were large volumes of plant fossils. I did find a few marine fossils (brachiopods) also. I found the "thing" below as well, which mystified me. I found it splitting a rock, and there was a counterpart as well. I did not retain the counterpart, perhaps I should have (it was broken). Formation: Pottsville Group Age: Pennsylvanian Period, Westphalian-A (312 million years old) .Jefferson County, AL Anyone know what this might be?

With the nicer weather last week, I was able to make two brief trips to kick of the year. There still ended up being a lot of snow on the ground, but it was manageable. My first trip was to one of my favorite sites, a roadcut in the Pennsylvanian LaSalle Limestone in Illinois. Lots of the usual stuff was found, but the two trip makers were a small Peripristis shark tooth and a Linoproductus mass mortality plate. Here's the tooth. I think it will clean up nicely. And here are the Linoproductus. There's around 50 individuals present, and they are all quite small compared to most Linoproductus specimens I find at this site. This is probably the best brach plate I've found here. Here's a random shot I took of the headwall. Most of the common brachiopod species at this site are visible. A few days later I had a couple hours free in the morning and checked out some new Ordovician spots in southern Wisconsin. Here's a neat roadcut I drove past, showing the contact between the Ancell and Sinnipee Groups. The lower unit is the St. Peter Sandstone and the upper unit is the Pecatonica Member of the Platteville Formation. The Glenwood Shale is the narrow shale unit between the two. The site I ended up hunting was in the Grand Detour Member of the Platteville. In this area it's mostly dolomite, and most fossils are internal molds. The preservation is thus not great, but splitting rock can yield nice mollusks on occasion. Here's a typical example of the molluscan hash. This large Ctenodonta was a nice treat. It's about 6cm at the widest dimension. The trip maker was a coiled nautiloid, the first I've found. I am not sure on the ID. It measures about 2cm in diameter.

Split the limestone, and when tying to cleave down the rock, split the fossil. Lucky for me, it split in between the inside and outside shell. Going to glue it back together with paraloid. Highly probable Metacoceras.

I am having trouble putting a label on this cephalopod from the Upper Pennsylvanian, Graham formation, Finis Shale member, from Jacksboro Texas. The conch is crushed on the anterior end which distorts the apical angle but the intact posterior end shows an angle of around 12º and the cardinal ratio is about 2. My first thought was bactrites but if that is the siphuncle it appears to be very near but not quite in contact with the ventral wall, which I thought was a requirement for the whole subclass. It looks a little like the “doubtful” genus Cylobactrites with the foldlike ribs and missing ventral lobe, but the treatise shows those to be Mid-Denonian. Maybe the ribs could be described as annulations and the siphuncle as subventral making it a nautiloid like some Brchycycloceratidae but B. normale and B. curtum are all I see on the fauna list for the site and they have much large apical angles at around 22º and 40º. Any ideas?
