I found this heavy triangular piece of what appears to be a bryozoa colony ,but at different angles and lighting I find it to show several other possibilities. This was retrieved from a receding river bed amongst many more corals and lingulla plates I also gathered. If anyone has an input or correction to my guess ,I greatly appreciate it.

I’m new here, but have always been fascinated with rocks and fossils. My daughter is too, so I’m looking to do this as a hobby with her..but I digress. I was recently at an estate sale and picked up what I thought at first was a concretion and took it home. My close up vision is failing me, so when I put this under a big magnifying glass, I was amazed by all the details in this little 3”x3” piece. What can you tell me about all these little creatures? Any idea how old it might be? I want to share all the details with my daughter, so by all means…explain, please and thank you!

All, I occasionally find these small fossils in the Topeka Limestone that look like a branched type of rhombophora. I have attached a plate from the guidebook that shows it may be a penniretepora or a acanthocladia but I am not sure. The fossil in question is about .5" long. Sorry for the bad photos. I couldn't get my focus right. I just love Topeka and Americus limestone though! I think you could stare a piece for hours and never notice every detail. I've always wondered if the sea just had that much life in it then or if the remains just collected more in this area for some reason.

I found this conglomerate, or hashplate of Brachiopods on the Whitewater River, Southeast Indiana and wonder what they are. It seems like a cross cut of the ancient Ordovician sea bed because all the fossils are on top of rock that seems layered. I've been slowly working on my first prep, from left to right using sewing machine needles, I don't want to mess it up!

Hey everyone! I was digging through a hash plate today and came across this figure within. I have yet to see anything with this shape yet. It may be nothing, and by all means call me a noob and idiot but I thought I would ask the experts On your thoughts. Plus I haven’t posted in awhile and I miss all of you! Hahaha

Finally was able to get out on the river for my first hunt of the year, the water receded time to see what the winter flood brought. I found some big layered slabs of Ordovician bits and pieces and am looking forward to cleaning them up to see what I got. Also found a beautiful mussel half, full of pink mother of pearl. I left it as I found it as Indiana law requires. Was great to get out!

I've been trying my hand at prepping this hash plate that I found on the Whitewater River in Southeast Indiana. Gotta do something when the river is high and the weather sucks!! There is a lot of bits and pieces going on in this one and the color of the fossils are odd compared to the matrix they are in which is really soft. Thought I'd share, what caused this jumble of fossils, and what do you see?

This one is storm battered, broken brachiopods but what I'm curious about is the other half of this hash plate. Running down the center is a ridge that is part of the tongue shaped fossil, hope you can see it okay in the photos. Thanks in advance!

Last spring I was given a box full of Canadian goodness from our very own ,Kane. He came down for a TFF group hunt at Deep Springs. There were many nice specimens in the box, but my favorite is this hashplate. I believe this is from Hungry Hollow, Arkona Ontario. It appears to have Coral, bryzoans, crinoid, and brachs and possibly other goodies. I am going to try to take some close-ups in a few minutes and would appreciate any feedback as to what you see that maybe my eyes don't
