I've been looking at these for sometime and am stumped as to what they may be. Found in Lansing NY. First up, photo's labeled #1 and #2 (hourglass shapes). I believe the matrix to be Tully Limestone. I have the scale written on one photo as 1.5 cm x 7 cm. They are of similar size. I wondered if they could be orthocone or crinoid but am unable to find any information or photos to compare them to as they are weathered. Both have the same somewhat zig zagging cross hatching patterns. Lastly, (#3) Believed to also be in Tully Limestone. I found what appears to be some type of a shell (2 cm x 3 cm) but it's shape doesn't resemble any of the gastropods, brachiopods, or bivalves in my area and I can't see any hinge. It appears that the outer shell has worn off and I think I'm looking at the internal mold? I don't want to try and prep it to reveal what may be hiding without any clue as to what it is. Thank you in advance

Found: Tully Limestone, Central NY, Middle Devonian. I'm pretty sure it's a Bryozoan, no, maybe a coral...I don't know? Perhaps Atactotoechus fruticosus? Thanks Greg

This is a photo(color photos in the hand) of the specimen I found. Middle Devonian, Tully Limestone, Central NYS. I was told that it was a Phacopida Asteropygin, non described species, and was sent this other photo (non color) photo. I would like to get the id name straight. This is a quote from the preparer: "Greg trilobite was almost prepared we are another time in lock down... snarge... but in any case let me know if u wanna restoration parts were skin was missed.... i can resto in high quality but i need to find a good metacanthina to copy missed skin or medium quality apoxie and paint". I asked him to rather leave it natural. Thanks Greg

Upper Middle Devonian, Central NY, Tully Limestone. This is a piece I only recently discovered that I've had. I'm not quite sure what to make of the figures in the rock. Rock is approx. 2" X 1 1/8", figures range from approx. 1/8" to 1/4" Help appreciated Thanks Greg

I found this Gastropod in the same rock as the topic ("no idea what so ever"). Tully Limestone, Cortland Cnty., Central New York, Middle Devonian. This one is a bit different. I think the id is: Platyceras carinatum(from the "Field Guide to Devonian Fossils" page174-175). Am I close? Approx. 29mm or 1 1/8" long X 13mm or 9/16" wide. Thanks Greg

I have no idea what this is...but, I've found two of them in the same rock. I've not the slightest idea on even where to start looking. The first is easy to spot(approx 1" X 1/2"), the second has a pin towards it(approx. 3/4"). Thanks Greg

Here's Bivalve(I think). The closest Id I could find is: Pteriomorphia ambonychiacea. But, usually when I think I've id'd something... I'm wrong...what do others think?

I have been unable to find these two Brachiopods in my books. I would like to know if anyone can id them for me. I have to add that I "assume" the first is a Brachiopod. I have looked in Lower, Middle and upper Devonian Brachiopods of NY and also Devonian Bivalves of NY. Thanks Greg

I've come across these two fossils...not sure what to make of the "cigar shaped" one(1 5/8" X 5/8")...not a clue where to look for an ID. The second one..."snail shaped"( 5/8")... I guess I should start under "Gastropods". Thanks Greg

This one has really got me. I can't figure out it's orientation. I've looked for id and the closest I can come up with is Viaphacops cristatus. But, not "seeing it...don't know. I think this is the correct direction...with the Trilopod looking up...but on the right side of the photo(on top of this direction) what would be it's back...the edge of the exoskeleton is convex...which doesn't make sense either, as shown in the 2nd photo. Thanks Greg

It was suggested that the photos below are of Coral fossil cyclolite. However, I can't find any information with that name. Does anyone know what it is? Perhaps it has another name? Approx. 1/2" dia. Thanks Greg

Ok, foolishly I was hoping that the Limestone would "pop" off the front of this Trilobite. But, I've run into a problem. At first I thought it was a Bryozoan lying along side...then I found spikes? Can anyone tell me what I've run into here? Thanks Greg

I had posted this in the "Fossil Trips" section with different photos...There has been some discussion of what the species is. Some think its a Greenops Sp, some think Greenops bellacartwrightia and one is unsure if it's a "described species". I've been researching online and examining my Trilobite. I'm unsure it's either of the named species. There are just some troubles with each of them. The bellacartwrightia seems "more round" than mine...but mine has its spikes which are missing from the Sp. which seems narrow. Below are (hopefully) better photos. The one with the blue lines shows one obvious difference between it and the two named species. Help is welcome. It really doesn't matter what it is...I would just like the correct name. The Greenops bellacartwrightia and Greenop Sp. are named which I used for comparison. Thanks Greg Greenops bellacartwrightia Greenops Sp

My husband and I collected this piece of Tully limestone (Devonian) last summer for the brachiopods (on the other side). Last month, he was sitting near the shelf where we have the day's collection, and decided to take a closer look at a few things while he was waiting around. He looked at the depression in this rock: and noticed an interesting texture that wasn't visible in the field: I've looked at it under magnification, and it reminds me of a modern ground pine. Considering that the other fossils in the rock are marine brachiopods, it seems more likely to me that this is either an algae or part of a crinoid head. Here are a few micrographs. Notice that the "arms" branch in the first image: The depression is 1 1/2 inches long (4 cm).

A couple of weeks ago, during a brief January thaw, I collected several pounds of Tully limestone from a local creekbed. When I went to clean the mud off, I found that some pieces had an odd, bumpy texture that I'm not familiar with, and other pieces had a black coating that looked like a coat of paint. Except that I've never found paint inside a rock before! Here's one of the textured pieces: Top: Top showing edge detail: One side: Bottom: I'll post another side and a different piece in the next post.
