Found this fossil in my yard. I am located at the southern edge of the Cincinnati arch in Madison county Kentucky. Most of the rocks are Ordovician Limestone in this area. Can anyone tell me about this fossil?
-
are these crinoid fossils or odd-looking rocks?

On Dec. 31st, I had the opportunity to stop in Richmond, Indiana on my drive from Columbus, Ohio to Plainview, Mn. It was pouring rain with occasional claps of thunder when I arrived so I had to pull into Wal-Mart and purchase an umbrella before stepping out to look at the rock hillside. The finds were many, but I am not good at IDing this tubular "thing". There was one on each side of the rock. I did not see any more at this site. It was found in what I think is Whitewater Formation, upper Ordovician. Scaphite? Tentaculite? Tiny Cephalopod? Worm Borrow? Can anyone help to give it a name?? Th

New Ichthyosaur from the Cretaceous of Australia
The Amateur Paleontologist posted a topic in Fossil News
Just got this new article from the "Everything Dinosaur" blog about a new ichthyosaur specimen from the Cretaceous deposits in the area around Richmond (Queensland, Australia). The specimen was found and collected by the staff of the Kronosaurus Korner museum. https://blog.everythingdinosaur.co.uk/blog/_archives/2018/08/29/annual-australian-fossil-dig-finds-a-fish-lizard-fossil.html -Christian- 6 replies

Looking through the sieved material I noticed this little jaw ? I has come out of the marine material I get from Richmond in central Queensland in Australia. I refer to the layer it came out of as the fish mash layer as it is full of small fish material. In the layer I find fish, shark, turtle, Ichthyosaur, pliosaur, pterosaur and bird material. The fossil is 6 mm in length and quite fragile. Thanks in advance for any input Mike D'Arcy

Weird question i know, but i found this large coprolite from a Cretaceous inland sea site near Richmond in QLD, Australia and it is by far the largest single coprolite i have collected. As you can see it is almost the size of my hand, though if whole it would have actually been even bigger as there is a clear break on one edge where it would have continued further. The sea at this time was inhabited by a range of marine reptiles (7m ichthyosaurs, 10m long necked elasmosaurs and 10m short necked pliosaurs) but also by some pretty big fish, the largest of which was the ichthyodectid Cooyoo austr

Hello This is where I post my finds from our first and latest Richmond trip. Some stuff is just stuff I would like to get identified. Like this: Side view 1: Side view 2: Bottom View: I think it is turtle, but I would rather what bone it is/ is off. I will post more soon on this topic, Izak Turtle Skull http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/56365-turtle-skull/#entry600374

Collected recently at a marine Cretaceous location near Richmond, QLD, Australia (Toolebuc Formation). 100 million years old. Fossils of both fish (some quite large) and pterosaurs are known from the location. There were also marine reptiles but i think fish or pterosaur are the only two possibilities in this case. I have a number of other definitive fish teeth from this location but they all look somewhat different which is why i am confused with this one. There appears to be a bit of bone attached to the bottom of the tooth, and maybe a little bit to one side of the specimen as

I'm doing a Ragnar run next week in Richmond, then I'll be spending a few days in the city. Just curious if there's any nice localities to hit up while I'm there. thanks -J -
I collected these two small marine reptile teeth at the council fossil hunting site 2 near Richmond in Queensland, Australia. The location is a Cretaceous marine locality and exposes the Toolebuc Formation, about 100 million years old. Fossils of fish, sharks, ichthyosaurs, pliosaurs and other types of plesiosaur, pterosaurs and turtles are all known from the area. These two teeth i believe could be associated, as they were found in the same fishy layer less than 30 centimetres from one another and exhibit similar features. Marine reptile teeth are also not very common here in gen

Found near Richmond IN. 2-1/4" long, 1-1/2" wide. I know it's rough, but it's definitely something. (The pictures don't do it justice) Any ideas?

Fossil Hunting Holiday and Internship in Richmond, QLD Australia (June - July 2016)
Paleoworld-101 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
G'day everyone! This is the fourth big fossil hunting trip report I’ve written now on TFF and it covers my latest adventures in outback Central Queensland (in and around the small town of Richmond). Had I told myself only 3 years ago that I would get to go on all these amazing fossil hunting trips both in England and now in Australia as well I wouldn’t have believed it for a second! Yet now I can finally cross Richmond off my list, which is something I have wanted to do for many years now. Richmond is arguably the fossil capital of Australia and produces amazing materia- 16 replies
