Found in central pa. Approx 3"x 2" feels too perfectly round and "spiral" for a rock. Pretty heavy for its size about 6.5 oz. Could it be an ammonite and if so how would i go about preparing it without ruining it?

I found this fossil in Alpena, Michigan, in the USA. It looks like a colonial rugose coral to me, but I’m not sure of the genus or species. It would have to be Devonian or Silurian, and native to Michigan. Does anybody know what this is? Also, is it a petrified or cast fossil? I attached four photos below.

HI! My name is Tammy Perlmutter and I'm a Master Naturalist with the Forest Preserves of Cook County in Northeastern Illinois. One of our class manual chapters was on Illinois geologic formations. We took a field trip to Sagawau Canyon Nature Preserve and got to see Silurian fossils in dolomite that were uncovered when the area was a quarry. I fell in love with them and now I can't get enough! I'm passing by Mazon and/or Danville in a few weeks and was wondering if it was possible to get access to the Danville shale pit location? Or Mazon? Nice to meet you all! Tammy

Hi! My friends and I are part of our Universities geology club and we were hoping to plan a spring break day trip to look for some trilobites. We go to Binghamton University in the southern Tier. I've been to the site in Tully NY behind the hotel and gas station and found some great partials (especially of greenops), but this time around we were hoping to find some more complete fossils. We've heard that there are some good places to look in Madison County, and also in Little Falls, but were hoping for advice on the best spots to look that are also public property to collect on. Sites closer to Binghamton would also be great, but I figured I'd ask about the one's we've heard of so far. A few of us have also been out o Buffalo to find fossils at places like Penn Dixie but the Buffalo region is probably too far for this trip. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you! Here's a picture of my favorite trilobite find from Tully

Cracked this open and found an interesting pattern. Is this evidence of a fossil within this limestone? If so what could it be? See the thin strands alongside the main “stem”. Why is the outer layer this color? Some pictures have had the contrast and saturation adjusted to aid with identification I’ve only been searching for and studying fossils and rocks for not even a year. Teach me all the things! The fossils that I’m familiar with in this area aren’t matching up. found near Beaman Park - north west Davidson County, Tennessee. This area has features of the western highland rim not so much of the central Basin (is what Google says) thanks! Sarah (This is my first post! I’ve been wanting to post many things for a long while but haven’t gotten up the nerve so be nice:)
