harosull Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 More Lake Michigan - Long Beach, IN finds. #1 - just a rock? #3,5 - horn corals? #4 - favosite? #8,9 - more coral? Sorry about the photo quality/quarter as a size reference. It was the best I could do for now. Thanks for your input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas.Dodson Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 You're right about most of these. #1 looks like a rock to me. I think #2 is as well. #3 is a rugose coral, as is #8. #4 is a coral, looks like a Favositid. #8 is also a coral. I'm not sure about #7. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranzBernhard Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 For #6, you may have a look at Tentaculites (link to wikipedia) Franz Bernhard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Fischer Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 6 and 3 look like gastropods to me maybe ammonites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I think no. 2 is a rugose coral as well, with some nice silicification and crystal growth. 1 2 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Nice little fossils. Please don't use coins as a size reference. A lot of us here have never been to the USA and have no idea how big or small a 'quarter' is. 1 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I would agree with Franz that #6 is a Tentaculid. #7 may be a portion of a straight-shelled nautilus. 1 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoOrdo Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 No. 4 seems to be a bryozoan. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 7 may just be banded chert. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM - APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

FossilNerd Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Here is what I see... 1 = A cool rock 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 = Rugose coral 4 = favosite coral 6 = Tentaculite 7 = orthoconic nautiloid 1 2 The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't. -Bill Nye (The Science Guy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harosull Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 Awesome, thanks everyone! I thought that the blue stone could be "Leland Blue" slag, a byproduct of the area's former iron industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you are in Morocco– a quarter is 24.26 mm, so its size is somewhere between the 1 dirham (24 mm) and 5 dirham (25 mm) coins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is indeed a possibility, maybe more probable than natural rock! Franz Bernhard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
