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

I found this in an abandoned fish nest in a human-made lake. One of my favorite finds!

Hoooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here we are at last, into Adam's Silurian. Thanks for looking. First up is the Lower Silurian or Llandovery and I begin with a problem. I posted this one incorrectly in Adam's Ordovician as it had got it's label muddled up with an Ordovician Favosites I had that has vanished in the move here, but is being replaced by kind forum member @Herb Anyway, this, I remember now I've found the correct label, is from the greenish Browgill Formation, part of the Stockdale Group from a cutting near Skelg

Fossil is from the Silurian of Gotland, though I am not aware of the precise stratigraphic unit from which it originates. On a broad classification level I'm virtually certain it's a tabulate coral (as you can see tabulae on the third picture), but while my initial hunch was that it's Favosites sp. I'm getting less and less sure the more I look at it. I have another Favosites specimen that I'm 100% sure about, and when I compare it to that, it definitely seems like there's subtle differences - at the very least, we'd be talking about two different species. In the last pic I've posted a compari

Location: Hancock County, Illinois USA Limestone Quarry 150ft below surface what type, age and what are the 1mm round nodules with possible stems on the facing side in first picture. any other info greatly appreciated.

Hi guys! I was in the Warsaw Geological Museum and there I came across this specimen which reminded me of Tabulate coral, but it was signed as a "sponge"... The sponge from the "maastrichtian age", when Tabulata already was extinct. I couldn't be more confused. This one still looks like coral to me. What do you think?

Timor West Basleo Sonnebait formation Fossils ID if poss please
Timorgirl posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi Fossil buffs, I trust that you are staying safe and well. I have finally pulled my head out of my uni books...yes I graduated.,.and am rediscovering my Timorese fossils. Leading out here... 1018 Tabulata and....I have no idea but would appreciate a heads up if you do know. Do you think 1020 is Mammoth? And I would really like to know what type of BI? Brach? 1019 is.,..this one showing lovely internal crystal form. And 1021 some have speculated that it is an aggravation on a crinoid stem,,,,any other thoughts. Also 1024...crinoid anal sacks ? 633 i found on -
Ahoi, I have been lucky to find some real fossils out in nature today! That is not as often the case for me as for some of you lucky rockhounds, I often have to resort to hunting online or building replicas. But this time I went out and found something. There is a famous devonian reef preserved in grauwacke some 50 kilometers from where I live. the Quarry itself is protected, but there are some piles of overburden rock in the vicinity. Here is a sample of what I found: To the right (1) I think is a badly preserved solitary rugose "horn"coral. To the left (5) a "

Some Fossil Hunting in the Plabutsch-Formation of the Palaeozoic of Graz, Styria, Austria (Devonian – Eifelian)
FranzBernhard posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
As there are some polished fossil-rock specimens from this formation in the Christmas auction, I would like to present some background info with (mostly) some field photographs, so I have put this in “Fossil Hunting Trips”. The Palaeozoic of Graz is a thrust sheet within the Eastern Alps, composed of Silurian to Pennsylvanian sediments. It consists of three separate nappes, the most fossiliferous formation is the Plabutsch-formation within the Rannach nappe. This Devonian formation is of Eifelian age (ca. 395 Ma), about 100 m thick and mostly made up of a very dark, gray-blueish to- 33 replies

Hi! I just received a couple nice works on Fossils. In Index Fossils of North America (1959) I see Pycnostylus (Fletcheria) listed as a Tabulate! (Subclass Schizocoralla) (Whitleaves 1884) Fossilworks lists subclass Rugosa fosillid shows the following: Hill, 1981. Rugosa and Tabulata Ivanovskiy, 1965. Fossil Rugosa Wow! What a way to confuse a newbie! My specimens I found match the illustrations and descriptions in Index Fossils, I am happy to say. It must be the German in me, but I go nuts for accurate taxonomy (when I can get it). How can
