I found this buried in the water in Joshua’s Creek, Oakville. This giant rock containing many coral fossils and a couple of Orthocone fossils also. I’m certain the fossils are Ordovician in age. Measurements are 30cm in length and 19cm in width. Can anyone help with identifying the Orthocones and Corals down to species pls? This is my biggest find yet, so excited to hear everyone’s opinions!

This specimen measures about 22.5cm in length and 14cm in width. I found it about 9 months ago on the riverbank along Joshua’s Creek in Oakville, near the tip of the Georgian Bay Formation that meets Lake Ontario. Been really busy the past few months, so haven’t had time to post it until now. Can anyone identify what Fossilized Bivalve species are present on the Rock?

I found this clam buried in mud along Joshua’s Creek in Oakville, near Lake Ontario, the hotspot of Ordovician fossils. Measurements are 7cm by 6cm. I’m particularly intrigued by the growth rings, since they protrude out rather visibly and considering I’ve never seen this in any other kind of fossil or living clam species. Can anyone help with identifying what species of fossil clam this is?

This is bigger than a softball and heavy. I found it in the mud alongside 16 Mile Creek in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, an area that has few fossils. I presume it is a petrified marine animal, with some kind of holdfast portion at the upper part in the photos. Can anyone help with a more detailed guess?

Oakville bedrock seems to have poor bedrock for fossil-hunting. However, between the glaciers and the city fathers, there has been a conspiracy to scatter all kinds of fossil bearing rocks around the joint. A walk at Dingle Park was disappointing until I saw this interesting pattern, about 50cm across. Maybe it is a "branching bryozoan"? I loved it.
