I am fortunate enough to have such a huge amount of Middle Devonian Givetian material that I thought it best to put the older Middle Devonian stage, the Eifelian, in its own thread. There are some spectacular fossils here as well though! I thought a good place to start would be in the Formosa Reef, which I believe is quite early Eifelian. This tabulate coral and stromatoporoid reef continues similar complexes found from the Middle Silurian, see my: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/84678-adams-silurian/page/3/ thread from page three onwards for details. All these Formosa Reef specimens come from a delightful gift from my good friend @Monica who is a tad busy with life at the moment but is fine and still thinking of the forum. This outcrop can be found on Route 12 near Formosa/Amherstburg, Bruce County, Ontario, Canada. This beautiful-looking specimen came to me with only a third of it revealed but I managed to get it this far after nine days of painful pin prepping. Monica found another one and posted it for ID here: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/105528-weird-circular-imprints-formosa-reef-lower-devonian/#comment-1172285 The specimen was identified by another Canny Canadian @Kane to be the little stromatoporoid sponge Syringostroma cylindricum. Hardly a reef-builder, but gorgeous nonetheless. It does have a little thickness to it, but not much. Beautiful! Pretty thin, actually. I love this Monica, thank you!

Hello! I found this fossilized bone a few days ago after the big tides in the Jurassic of the Boulonnais region (North of France). I can’t seem to place it… The cell structure looks dinosaur to me, not marine reptile. Would anyone be acquainted with this type of material and have any idea? Thank you very much! IMG_0855.mov

A nice Dictyonema flabelliforme dendroid graptolite from Oslo Fields in Norway. It's Tremadoc, Lower Ordovician in age and is thus maybe around 480 mya. Another angle :

Hi, I made a find today on a local walk, and I could do with some help identifying it. It was found in a forrest overlooking the Ardeche Gorge in France. The local area (and the gorge itself) is primarily limestone. I think it is a fossil of some sort of snail, but honestly I have no idea. Can anyone help?

2 cm shell fossil found in Normandy chalk cliff. Any ideas?
Philip Ogley posted a topic in Fossil ID
I recently came across a fossilised shell in a chalk cliff in Normandy, France, near the town of Livarot. There were other shells and invertebrates, but this was very clear and beautiful. It's only about 2 cm wide, and I was wondering if anyone could advise me what it might be? In advance, thanks. -

Hello everyone and thank you for this wonderful support forum. Here are photographs of two fossils discovered on the heights of Sallanches (France Haute-Savoie near Mont-Blanc) in the area of the attached map. One was discovered from a small landslide. Despite my searches, I couldn't find anything similar on the net. These fossils go right through the stone. They are tubular in shape and can be easily removed from the stone. I sincerely thank you for your help. Carte géologique.pdf
