Found on my way down to my usual fossil hunting beach (Devonian) I’m pretty sure these rocks were brought in to prevent erosion though. Late pre-Cambrian - Devonian rock for sure

Last weekend I had the opportunity to collect in a quarry in southern Wisconsin. It appeared to cut through the Upper Ordovician Platteville, Decorah, and Galena Formations, although only the Platteville rocks were accessible. It was not the most productive trip but it was a new spot for me and I had a good time. Here's a site shot plus a couple photos of large hash plates I did not collect. The quarry was swarming with these baby frogs – I easily saw several hundred. Here are the finds I kept. Eoleperditia fabulites - giant ostracods A large cephalopod fragment (probably Endoceras) coated with pyrite crystals A nice slab of mollusks, including a very nice example of the curved cephalopod Beloitoceras

Never seen this texture on a brachiopod or bryozoan before. Found in Wisconsin gravel.

How rare are phragmocones from cephlapods? Are they something you need to get into a quarry to find, or can you recover them out of roadcuts? This is for the Midwest, like Illinois, Wisconsin etc.

Hello, We found this in western Wisconsin in a dry run. We're thinking possibly some kind of coral? Complete N00b here The whole piece is about 5.5" long, the striated part that we believe is fossil piece is approx 1 inch long. Thank you so much for your help!

Can anyone ID this? Looks weird to me because I’ve never found anything like it before.

Pet wood? Found outside of a fast food place in Wisconsin. Most rocks here are older than trees but this was in a gravel pit.

Found a couple neat things in some bags of rocks from Home Depot
LeapingLaelaps posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello! I got a few bags of rocks from Home Depot the other week to use for a project, and when I was washing them off I found a couple neat things. Unfortunately the bags were thrown away and the garbage was picked up yesterday so I can't check the bags for the quarry locations, but the bags were purchased in Wisconsin so I would reckon the rocks are from either Wisconsin, Minnesota or Illinois. Here are both next to a tape measure. I'm pretty sure the left one is some kind of brachiopod but I have no idea what the striped one is or if it's even a fossil: And a few different angles of the striped one: Sorry for the obnoxious shadow in front, I was using my flash because it was too dark in the house and since I was so close to the fossil my camera left a shadow.

My son found, what looks to us to be, a backbone in the rock, in the shallow water of a beach in Door County, WI. The first picture is the fossil in question, the others are other things we found interesting but less convinced they are fossils. I would estimate it to be about 15 to 18 inches in length. Any idea what it could be? Thanks in advance for your time.

I’m not sure if this is fossilized or not, but I was hoping I might be able to find more info on it here!
