Fossildude19 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Welcome to the Forum. This looks like a tabulate coral, to me. 1 1 5 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

TqB Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 If you could give a rough location, we might be able to narrow down the ID. I suspect it's a Favosites (which is of course a tabulate) from the Silurian 1 2 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it's a Favosites (which is of course a tabulate) from the Silurian Thank you TqB, it certainly is Silurian, also found these. Not sure if anything in the first picture can be identified. I had no idea fossils like this could be found in my area, kind of stumbled across these when I was out exploring! Done a bit of research though and found another place, will have a day out and make a proper post soon, hopefully have some trilobites to show off 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Rockwood is correct that there are a couple of Leptanea brachiopods (marked as #1). There are also a couple of atrypid brachiopods (#2, and the 2nd photo). Don 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woogie Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Rather than start a new thread I thought I would bump this one. Had a half an hour at the same spot today before it got dark. Have I found trilobits? Some I think are probably imprints of brachiopods, some I'm not so sure about.

Woogie Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 Also randomly, there are massive boulders reinforcing the bank, on a couple I spotted these imprints, are they plant? Look almost like tyre tracks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Wow. Great finds, Mark! I see some Rhynchonellid brachiopods, maybe some Dalmantid trilobite pygidiums. The worn trilobite looks like a Dalmantid to me as well. Also, a possible Flexicalymene pygiidum? @piranha @Kane Definitely looks like some plant fossils there. Congratulations on these finds! 1 1 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

It's possible that these are plant fossils. The first would be lycopod periderm, the second the arial roots of a tree fern. The detail isn't clear enough to really be confident of either though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
