Fossil shells and impressions of shells found in Tryghamma, Svalbard.
Fluffy_Yutyrannus posted a topic in Fossil ID
Probably Carboniferous, possibly early Permian. Could these be Brachiopods? Most of them seem to be double loved. Most are squashed so I took close up photos of the best ones.- 8 replies

Hi, very new here but hoping to learn. So if anyone how tips on resources to help me identify spices and get a grasp on the timescale, reading geological maps I'd be thankful. Found this at Varmlandsryggen (Karlstadtoppen), West Spitsbergen. Its from my understanding a fold-thrust belt. From paleozoic-mesozoic era (I know big chunk of time, but still figuring out the timescale and maps) In the area are also lots of corals. Living in Svalbard, so hoping to learn here and also share a growing gallery of fossils from here. Size is about 4 cm

marine Upper Permian of Svalbard - I can’t even ID it to phylum!
David Cothran posted a topic in Fossil ID
In a typical Permian (I’m fairly sure) marine trash slab with brachiopods and bryozoans. I don’t have a good scale card handy, but the last image shows the slab with a metric ruler. The specimen in the first image is visible at the top of the slab and it is representative size, ie. 0.8-1cm width/diameter and 2-5cm length. Thanks for any help - I’m very curious about this one.
