I have come across these 2 fossils whilst digging a trench in work, I'd be grateful if anyone has any information for me, these where in the same rock/stone. Thanks Also I'll get better photos when home.

I found a piece of petrified wood that looks very similar to this that has sap and a couple tiny snails eating the sap from what it looks like. I polished a small section of it and it’s like a mirror graphite color. Anyway, I can post some images here soon if anyone is still around and interested to see. Really just looking to learn more about it if possible!

Today I did some pics of a huge piece of rock from the famous (today closed, forbidden to dig...) basalt-pit Weitendorf near Graz in Austria. It was miocene vulcanism covering sweetwater-sediments containing lot of snails, shells, rarely crabs and other fossils. Some of the snails are preserved with color patterns, but it is rare. So, when I did the pics and worked on them last hour I found two of them. One is Natica tigrina millepunctata, I think this gots the name "millepunctata" due to the lots of dots Size is approx. 2 cm, small one, but perfect!

I drive 8 hours with a friend to a location he remembers from his childhood as yielding a lot. Oh boy it did. 100% worth the drive. Lake Huron, among the agates, pyrite, yooperlite, has some extraordinary Devonian fossils. All fossils were collected from the beach of his family’s property except for the fenestelid bryozoan, which was found at a gas station on the way there. please enjoy this collection of gastropods, petoskey stones, various tabulate corals, crinoids, stromatoporoids, bivalves, Brachiopods, tenteculites, horn corals, an unidentified agatized fossil in jasper matrix

I usually take Bobbi fishing on Labor Day, but the fishing has been tough lately on my home lake. I thought maybe I could find a better fossil bite. But my usual spots are too high water and/or too muddy, especially with Bobbi coming along. So I decided to make a drive to west Texas. We stopped and had a nice breakfast on the way, then drove on to a site that is Finis Shale. We hunted it long enough to gather up quite a bit. Here is the first snail I spotted, an ammonite piece, and Bobbi on the hillside above the outcrop.

Hi all, I found some snail fossils and was wondering if I could get them ID'd or even given a ball park age! Location Wollongong Australia. Driving home at the moment but can update with measurements if needed once I'm near a tape measure. Would estimate around 3-4cm or around 1.5inches at their widest part.

First pic shows the modern day terrain of what 6-8 million years ago was the coastline of SE Iberia. Walking here today my Wife found what appears to be a gastropod or snail. But could easily be a nice rock.

Various fossils/possibly contain fossils. From the Coleraine formation of northern Minnesota, mostly ironstone, I think, but one is in mudstone.

I think it looks shockingly similar to charnia. Maybe a cephalopod, snail, or plant? What could it be?- 2 replies

Hi everyone this is matt again today in the creek I found this neat snail fossil here is a few photos -
Possible ID of Trepospira sphaerulata from a local gastropod expert, but he isn’t sure. Similar ones in a group with original specimen at the right. Left is suspect of being related, but it might be.

I can’t identify exactly what these are? Found them in Barton Creek near Austin. They look like a gastropod but haven’t seen any with the rears this out to the edge. Also the other pointy ones are even about the center while this one is near the back end.

Figured I would post a short trip report from yesterday the 27-05-2017. This trip went to the eastern coastline of Denmarks mainland, and the visible cliffs here consist of bryozoan chalk. There is however a layer of roughly 500mm that is composed of cerithium chalk, which is my primary focus since it is here snails, ammonites, crabs, isopods and other fossils not preserved (or rarely) elsewhere reside. During winter, alot of the hardened chalk and flint goes through a freeze-thaw process many times leaving the pieces split in half, often broken at the weake

Many fossils from Lake Michigan are Devonian, but some are later such as this snail fossil. My best guess on the round gray fossil is algae or diatoms. Can anybody confirm my guesses or have a better idea of species for the snail or segmented worm?
