I was wondering if I found an external mould of the Devonian gastropod Platyceras. The fossil curves in the rock which was hard to capture with the lighting. The rock was too big to carry back and I didn’t have a ruler with me so I apologize for lack of scale. Thanks!

Found this guy in crumbly shaley stuff, Monroe County, Indiana. The rippling shape reminds me a lot of a modern oyster shell. Closest thing I can match online is platyceras, but I don’t see any like this. The large associated crinoid plates are about 1/2” diameter for size reference. Is this worth prepping out and trying to glue together/consolidate?

Hoooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here we are at last, into Adam's Silurian. Thanks for looking. First up is the Lower Silurian or Llandovery and I begin with a problem. I posted this one incorrectly in Adam's Ordovician as it had got it's label muddled up with an Ordovician Favosites I had that has vanished in the move here, but is being replaced by kind forum member @Herb Anyway, this, I remember now I've found the correct label, is from the greenish Browgill Formation, part of the Stockdale Group from a cutting near Skelg

Hey all, Decided to hit the Mahantango today. This spot has historically produced a complete trilobite during my hunting. While my collecting has become more selective as I have to try to keep storage in mind, I did pick up a few examples that I wanted to share. This I believe is a Platyceras? While I am getting more selective on keeping heads, I particularly liked this association of a head and pygidium. I do not believe these are the same specimen as the size and angles would be off but it did make me think of the rough sediments and po

I am going to go to some real sites in eastern New York tomorrow, but I decided to check the rocks by a pond near my grandparents house where I found a couple trilobites and other Devonian fauna this summer. And I found this really nice Platyceras specimen which it turned out had a brachiopod fossil attached near the bottom, where the opening of the shell would be located. I highly doubt that these two organisms are articulated and fossilized together but I thought it was interesting and worth showing here.

I have a nice little gastropod in my collection, from my most recent trip to the Leighton formation. I am pretty certain that this is a Platyceras sp, such as the one shown in the plate below, figures 23 - 24. Boucot, A. J., Yochelson, E. L. (1966) Paleozoic Gastropoda from the Moose River Synclinorium, Northern Maine. Geological Survey Professional Paper, 503(A). https://pubs.usgs.gov/pp/0503a/report.pdf I do not believe that specimens such as these have been assigned to species as of yet, and would greatly appreciate to hear any

Fossil forum, Good morning. I have been looking for literature on the following for a while now, and have not been successful. I was wondering if anyone already had information on the following, or can direct me to a place where I can look for it myself. Brachiopods, specifically Lingulids (classification and identification) Salopina genus ( classification and identification), this genus was moved from Orthis, for further clarification Rhychonellida (classification and identification, at least to the genus level). Camarotoechia genus (classificat

Hi, I am looking for someone that can do a good (preferably great) job prepping out a fossil for me. I have a Platyceras that died still sucking the crinoids' backside. I don't have means or equipment to do a proper prep. If you do good work or know someone that does, I'd appreciate the contact. Unfortunately, I am somewhat cash poor but would like to perhaps work out some sort of trade for the work done. I have quite a few fossils or mineral specimens I could trade for the time. Thanks, caldigger

I went to the North Pit of Hungry Hollow for a few hours on Friday. I spent most of my time digging through the clay piles and walking around the water's edge, scoping out a few recognizable shapes that are by now completely camouflaged by the clay. It's amazing that my eyes even zeroed in on my tiny trilobites but I guess they had waited long enough for me to take them home, and today was the day! One trilobite turned out to be just the head but the other is pretty cute. I met one hiker from Pennsylvania (Greg) that came through the trail along the North side of the river. I introduced m
