From the album: Fossildude's Middle Devonian Fossils
This was found at 18 Mile Creek near Buffalo NY. ~385 Million Years Old Middle Devonian, Givetian Hamilton Group, Ludlowville and Moscow Formations. I know the brachiopod is a Spiriferid, but what is underneath it? Sponge spicule? Seems to have 5 projections. At a loss?? Any opinions or information welcome! Thanks for looking!© © 2012 Tim Jones

I had the opportunity to spend an afternoon hunting fossils along Highway AA in Northern Kentucky. If one wants to be overwhelmed with road cuts, this is the place to visit! Back to my ID request. I am not sure if it fell down from the overlying Fairview Formation or whether this was Kope. Normally I am not greatly interested in crinoid stems but this one is quite different from the ones I normally find and researching crinoids from this area gave me no answer.

I am a mineral and fossil collector and an amateur astronomer and my email is rocksnstars, so rocks collected that include a star shape are special. Most of the ones I have are the crinoid stems with star-shaped centers. This is the first time I've seen anything like this. I believe I have met the requirements of providing a good photo with a scale, and I know the period is Late Ordivician. I tagged Ohio because I think that is where it is from, but it is possibly Indiana, however BOTH sites are the SAME period and well known. I collected the two places the same day, and unfortunately during the drive home to Maine and the unloading, some of the specimens got mixed up and this was one of them. The Ohio location is the spillway at Caesar Creek State Park, Waynesville, Ohio, US. The Indiana one is Whitewater River Gorge, Richmond, Indiana, US. (Each mark is 1 mm, so the "1" on the scale is 10 mm, perhaps standard.)

Is this an Echinoid? I found this on the end of a piece of pyritized coral I received from Bob O'Donnell. It looks like the teacher gave the coral a gold star for brilliance. It is approximately 1mm across it's points. Microscope: Zeiss Stemi 305edu, 2x photo eyepiece. Camera: Canon 1000d: 1x objective (2x mag.) 2x objective (4x mag.) 6x objective (12x mag.)

My 9 year old boy found several of these on the side of a hill near gun sight mountain Alaska. The area is know for sea shell fossils, we found several clam shells in the same area. This is right in the middle of the Matanuska formation.
