I have had multiple trips this summer to my favourite localities in Hamilton, Ontario and Toronto. I dont think the winter of this season was severe to render a great deal of erosion since I couldnt pick out a lot of material surface wise. My first trip is at the Niagara Escarpment of Hamilton in which I visit many formations of the Cataract and Clinton Groups. Always keep an eye out on your overhead! These rocks of the Whirlpool sandstone (Cataract Group) on top of the Queenston formation can drop on any unsuspecting person! Below are some partial pentamerid brach

I went to the Royal Ontario Museum for a class history trip last month. I haven’t been there for years and there’s a bunch of new things I didn’t get to see last time. Here’s some photos from the trip. Enjoy

From the album: Urban Fossils of Toronto (Georgian Bay Formation, Lower Member)
Conularia formosa (Miller and Dyer, 1878). Georgian Bay formation, Lower Member, Late Ordovician. Found along the Humber River of Toronto. This specimen was found when I was smashing some of the limestone of a bedding and this popped out. This is the only Conularia formosa I have ever found along the Humber River.© JUAN EMMANUEL

Collected some cool small pieces today, around Mimico Creek! What have I found here?

Hey everyone, I found this fossil along the Don River yesterday. I believe there's a crinoid stem and coral fossil in limestone from Georgian Bay Formation. Is this right? Please let me know Thanks so much!

Found this lovely pair of bivalves in Mimico Creek over the weekend and hoping to get some help on ID. It looks like either Colpomya or Cymatonota, based on images I've seen. Any ideas in this? Camille

Is this a kind of favosite? (Georgian Bay Formation, Ontario)

Maybe I'm imagining patterns. Coral? Geological process? Found along Lake Ontario, among other whitish rocks from elsewhere, most very fossiliferous, arranged along the shore.

Field collection by Camille Martin, April 4, 2022 Note the nummuloid siphuncle in the bottom image -- two "buttons" are visible (circled). A good candidate would be Treptoceras crebriseptum.© Camille Martin

Wondering whether this is a bryozoan colony or a coral. In the detail, I noticed a honeycomb pattern, but I think both bryozoans and corals can have such a pattern. Thanks. Camille

Thanks to Tim @Fossildude19 for identifying the following recent find as a bryozoan. I'm trying to narrow it down to at least genus. Taking a wild stab . . . genus Parvohallopora? I can't seem to find any image that resembles this one with any degree of certainty. Thanks. Camille

I found these two fossils from Mimico Creek in Toronto, Canada and they both belong to the Georgian Bay formation, late Ordovician. The first one I believe is a Pseudolingula, but I can't really nail it down to a species level. The other is a bryozoan, and I was thinking of Prasopora. What do you guys think? The brachiopod I found in shale, but the bryozoan in a limestone bed with other bryozoas. The brachiopod: The bryozoa:

Trip to Etobicoke Creek (Georgian Bay Formation, Upper Ordovician)
Rogue Embryo posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
My first visit to Etobicoke Creek in several years yielded a few finds, but will search other spots along the creek in the coming weeks. Some cephalopod fragments: A "misshapen" cephalopod? An outline on a perfectly flat rock: Not sure what these are; not much detail: Two of the better Pholadomorpha pholadiformis specimens: Camille- 2 replies
