Jessyb123 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Found this today in Indian Creek in Monroe County WV, can someone identify the fossil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creek - Don Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Nice fossils. Those are Mahatango middle Devonian formation bivalve and ammonite fossils. Not sure which species. I let others ID some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure which species. I let others ID some more. One of the imprint of a bivalve looks like Orthonota and another one is a brachiopod. Not sure about the Cephalopod though.

Jessyb123 Posted May 3, 2021 Author Share Posted May 3, 2021 Thank you for the information, my 11 year old has an upcoming science fair that led us out hunting rocks, so we are extreme amateurs but we have enjoyed both trips and found something each time! Here are some other things we found, and the other side of the original fossil photo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misha Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 To me item 4 also looks like a pair of ammonoids, those are some really cool finds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessyb123 Posted May 3, 2021 Author Share Posted May 3, 2021 Thank you so much, those labels will be awesome to add to the science project! So glad I came to this forum, I'm ready to fossil hunt! What started as a science project may become a permanent hobby! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Fischer Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I don't know the species but I agree on gastropods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
