Found these in a limestone formation near Bocairent, Spain. From some quick research it seems to me like these might be from the upper devonian, and some look like nautiloids? One of them looks like a coral. Perhaps crinoid also? Would love some help on IDing these if anyone has any ideas!

The Devonian period is known as "The Age of Fish", but could also be known as "The Age of Brachiopods." In the Early / Lower Devonian, brachiopods reached the height of their diversity towards its end in the Emsian. We see the ancestral groups occurring, lingulids, craniids, orthids, protorthids, pentamerids, rhynchonellids and strophomenids, as well as the later successful groups we have seen before such as atrypids, athyrids and orthotetids, plus the rise of spiriferids, spiriferinids and productids and the beginning of the terebratulids. By the end of the Devonian , several of these g

Hi group! What is your opinion? I bring you this rarity, which seems to be divided into segments, something I had never seen around here until now in my Carboniferous area. It reminds me slightly of an arthropod, maybe it could even resemble an arachnid. Or maybe they are just plant remains! Note that there are some sort of indentations in some of the fossil segments and there is an area (vaguely reminiscent of an abdomen) that is oval. It comes from the Upper Carboniferous Estephanian B (Saberien) of León, Spain. Alethopteris zeilleri

Here you have some beautiful fossils that I have been finding lately ^^, all of them come from the same coal mine in the NW of Spain, Stephanian B, Upper Carboniferous. I hope you like them! 1.

Hi all, I'm not even sure it's fossil... It's from Northern Spain. Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone, I saw these marine looking fossils in what I think are sandstone blocks used to construct the Alcazar in Cordoba, Spain. I saw a lot of bivalve looking fossils in these blocks and one really interesting one, which looks like a sea urchin to me. I am a total newbie, so would really appreciate any help in identifying the age and ID of these fossils.

Hello everyone, I recently received a lot of 3 brachiopods from Spain. Here they are with their original labels that they were listed with and that I received them with: The issue is that when I began to do a bit more research on these species, specifically Hexarhytis the paper that comes up shows and describes a completely different brachiopod. Looking up the other Athyrid the results I got were much closer but still not exactly like the brachiopod I have, but since I got more results for this search I could now do a bit of looking into the closely related taxa whic

Sorry but I am not geologist or have any background on fossils. I am an iNaturalist user, and a friend sent me some photos taken in a NW Spain beach asking me if it was a fossil. So I searched iNaturalist and found a topic which mentioned this was a good place to ask for fossil identifications. So here are the photos he sent me. The place is now covered by sand this year so I guess he cannot take close ups right now (just in case you ask). The 1 euro reference coin diameter is 23.25 mm (according to wikipedia). There is a "snake shaped" mark in the rock

Hello, I have recently found some gastropods in a village of Teruel, East of Spain. They are from Albian Cretaceous. Visiting the local museum has not solved my doubts about their identification, they had some gastropods as mine, but, to my unexperienced eyes, there were identical specimens under different labels: Paraglauconia picteti, Cardium Voltzi, Glauconia lujani, Orthostoma verneuilli, Turritella vidalina and Cassiope luxani. I am sure it is not Cardium Voltzi, as it is a bivalve, I have doubts about Glauconia lujani and Cassiope luxani being synonims, and I haven´t been able

Hi all, I'm totally new to the forum, and going on a two week trip to South-Eastern Spain tomorrow, Valencia and Murcia region mainly. When I was younger we used to go fossil hunting, and I want to try to pick it up again during this trip. I read a bit about it, and found a geological map of the region. I think that's a good start right? I'm also taking some basic tools and rented a car. Do any of you have any tips for a beginner like me? Or maybe have experience in this region and/or know people there with experience? Or maybe, based on the map, you have a recommended

My sun found this in the mountains, in Aragon, Spain on a mountain by accidence, while playing. It looks like a little bird, we can see a print of little feathers. But the skeleton doesn't really look like the ones we found online. Who can help us? We are curieus.

A new genus of Troodontid has been described from late Maastrichtian fluvial deposits of Spain's Talarn formation (Tremp Group). It was named Tammaro insperatus named for a small, elusive creature from local folklore and the latin word for unexpected due to where it was found. Very interesting to see this family of dinosaurs officially represented in Europe's fossil record, along with the overall diversity on the continent when it was still archipelagic. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-83745-5 http://www.sci-news.com/paleontology/tamarro-insperatus-09426.htm
