Ordovician, Nicolet River Formation, Crinoid columnal segments
Denis Arcand posted a gallery image in Members Gallery
From the album: Fossil Art
These crinoid segments look amazing in their natural color -
What ancient creature is this? it has small bumps, no holes so i don't think it's a bryozoan? I will appreciate if anyone can identify this little fossil for me. Thanks!

This is a rare find of dinosaur remains preserved with its last meal. Of the hundreds of skeletons of carnivorous dinosaurs discovered to date, only 20 cases retained traces of their last meals. This discovery made during a visit to museum collections in China brings their number to 21. https://www.mcgill.ca/science/channels/news/other-paleo-diet-rare-discovery-dinosaur-remains-preserved-its-last-meal-344495 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02724634.2022.2144337

I found the following fossils hunting the Nicolet River Formation (Upper Ordovician). The layer where the specimens are is really friable, which makes them really fragile to remove, so I will have to remove a large piece of rock as a support. They measure approximately 2 and 1 inches respectively. I have two questions: 1. What is it ? 2. Is it worth taking it home?

I know there aren't many details for a formal identification, but even a guess would be fine I found it in the Nicolet River formation (Late Ordovician)

Hey there Fossil Forum. One of my friends found an interesting specimen showing a well preserved (lamellar?) microstructure inside the Beauharnois Fmt limestone (Joliette area, Québec). Beauharnois Fmt is Ordovician. To me, this could very well be some kind of colonial animal (like a bryozoan or graptolith), but I have never seen a similar one where I live so far. The dual branch architecture makes me think of a graptolith, while the somewhat "lamellar" microstructure reminds me of a bryozoan. However, I would not be surprised if it was something entirely different. Any guess? Plea -

Fall promises to be spectacular in many ways. If you dream of colors, you will like the following. I like fossil hunting in the fall, although it's not really hunting, the fossils are underwater so it's more like fishing. Anyway, this is one of my many trips to this place, it's not very far and it allows me to go for a weekend nature walk. This is Ordovician, the site is not as beautiful or rich in fossils as the other sites we see in this forum, but it is rich in brachiopods, crinoids, bryozoans and gastropods. This time, I chose a theme to showcase my special finds of the day.

I found this yesterday, it was very fragile and broken in many pieces when I handled it.

Location shows huge die-off of Sowerbyella sericea and other brachiopods in smaller numbers. The specific layer could not be determined as it was discovered at ground level on the beach. Loose as float,.

There are so many brachiopods that look alike, it's hard to identify them. Is this Dalmanella sp ? I found it in the Nicolet River formation (Late Ordovician) each one is 1/2 inch

I found these Ordovician fossils in the Nicolet River formation, could it be cephalopod related?
-
Can anyone tell me if these are actual fossils or just geological formations, although they look like fossilize plants to me, it would be very surprising to find fossilized plants from the late Ordovician period. both rocks were found in the Nicolet River Formation on the banks of the Richelieu river

Hi, I am still new at identifying brachiopods, I know there is a great diversity of similar species, which makes it even more difficult for me. Can you help me identify these two brachiopods, they both feature a semicircular outline, concavo-convex profile, and small size (~1.0 cm wide). They also have a wide, straight hinge numerous and very fine lines and ribs. Not sure if they are the same species, one of them has a larger size with a bit smaller width compared to length. So I don't think they are the same species. The plate was found in the Nicol

Hi fellow fossil collector, can you identify this brachiopod for me? I recently found a very different brachiopod, where I usually collect my fossils in an Upper Ordovician formation (Click here to see the site). I can easily find hundreds of swerbyella, but this fossil is very different from what I usually find, its huge size, 3 times larger than any fossil i usually find, and its different shape puzzles me. It measures approximately 3cm x 2.5cm. It also has intriguing concentric protuberances composed of a primary and secondary shell on external shell surface. As you
