Any Ideas on What These Fossils Are?

Recommended Posts

I have found a couple of trilobites on a friend's property near Eganville, but I don't know what the attached fossils are.  I am pretty sure the last one is a number of shells, but any ideas on the other ones?

 

Thanks,

The second would be cross section of an orthocone nautiloid, third could be either burrows or bryozoans (hard to make out in the photo), and the last would be brachiopods.

To my eye, I see 

 

1&2 - Orthocone cephalopods. 

3 - Trace fossils (worm burrows) or bryozoans - would need to see surfaces up close. 

4 - Brachiopod imprints - look to be Strophomenids.

Well, I would agree  in nearly all points to Fossildude19 - but in picture 3 I prefer trace fossils.

BTW, only canadians know the size of your coins... Not a good scale !

 

It is preferable and highly recommended to put a scale in cm or inch on your photos. There are many of us in this forum, non-English-speaking foreigners. And it’s easy to make a rule if you don’t have one. We can even find some on the web to print it !

Noted (re: the scale) - I started putting a ruler in my mineral pictures recently and I will do the same in any future fossil pics I post here.
