I am fortunate enough to have such a huge amount of Middle Devonian Givetian material that I thought it best to put the older Middle Devonian stage, the Eifelian, in its own thread. There are some spectacular fossils here as well though! I thought a good place to start would be in the Formosa Reef, which I believe is quite early Eifelian. This tabulate coral and stromatoporoid reef continues similar complexes found from the Middle Silurian, see my: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/84678-adams-silurian/page/3/ thread from page three onwards for details. All these Formosa Reef specimens come from a delightful gift from my good friend @Monica who is a tad busy with life at the moment but is fine and still thinking of the forum. This outcrop can be found on Route 12 near Formosa/Amherstburg, Bruce County, Ontario, Canada. This beautiful-looking specimen came to me with only a third of it revealed but I managed to get it this far after nine days of painful pin prepping. Monica found another one and posted it for ID here: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/105528-weird-circular-imprints-formosa-reef-lower-devonian/#comment-1172285 The specimen was identified by another Canny Canadian @Kane to be the little stromatoporoid sponge Syringostroma cylindricum. Hardly a reef-builder, but gorgeous nonetheless. It does have a little thickness to it, but not much. Beautiful! Pretty thin, actually. I love this Monica, thank you!

Hello, I picked up this small trilobite with no provenance or label. However based on the other material it was with I suspect it is Pennsylvanian-aged possibly from Kansas. Can anyone verify the bug and potentially the provenance as well? The long pygidium makes me think of Ameura, and I believe the lack of a median preoccipital lobe rules out Ditomopyge. However compared to other examples I see the glabella seems narrow and the cheeks very wide, so perhaps I am completely off. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

From the album: Nautiloid’s Trilobite Collection
Although a little warped, this is still an awesome example of one of my favorite New York trilobites! This bug comes from the Middle Devonian Centerfield Limestone of Western New York, and was purchased from a good friend of mine.© Owen Yonkin 2022

Hello All. I must request help for an ID on this trilobite. It measures 1.9 cm in length. It is some sort of Proetid trilobite from Morocco, but that is as far as I can take it. Is anyone aware of a genus/species/location for this cute little fellow? Thanks for the help :-)
