Misstrillybilly Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Hello everyone I'm a newbie. I don't have much knowledge about fossils, Can anyone tell me what the names are for these?... Found in Dudley UK. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Trilo Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Looks like a lovely bunch of Paleozoic fossils. The first picture is indeed a trilobite below a small brachiopod but as far as a more specific ID I'll tag @Kane and @piranha. The second image has a bunch of pieces, crinoid columnals, several different kinds, the donut shaped things. There are also bryozoans, looks like some sort of branching bryozoan, the branching coral things, and a fennestelid bryozoan bit above the largest crinoid columnal. And then there are also a lot of brachiopods which are the shells. @Tidgy's Dad may be able to narrow it down.

It felt like home. It still does" -Mike (Pagurus) “The best deal I ever got was getting accepted as a member on The Fossil Forum. Not only got an invaluable pool of knowledge, but gained a loving family as well.” -Doren (caldigger) "it really is nice, to visit the oasis that is TFF" -Tim (fossildude19) "Life's Good! -Adam (Tidgy's Dad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Yes this is material from the Upper Wenlock, Middle Silurian Much Wenlock Limestone Formation. Lots of fragments from several species here. The trilo pygidium looks like Dalmanites myops to me, but see what Scott says. 3 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
