I found this one together with some bivalves. Its an area where you can find fossils from the emsian era. Any ideas on what it is? Found it in Thanville, Belgium. Already a little known place for searching fossils from the devonian epoch.

It's a solitary rugose coral. Appears to be an internal mould of the calyx, the calcite skeleton having dissolved away.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Thanville is Lower Devonian: Eimsian 

growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

Thank you very much guys!

Since I've had such great response, I was wondering what my other finds could be since I haven't found it on the internet yet! 

It's all from the same place that one day in Thanville. 

1st: the print is about 3-4cms in length

2nd: about 2-3mms

3rd: about 2cms in width and 1,5 cm in height.

Yes thats correct ;)

I went walking with a friend in Couvin yesterday, near an old limestone/shale quarry (de Lion) and we cracked open some interesting rocks we found. I was wondering what species we may have spotted here..  I have some photos. You guys have any idea? Thanks in advance.
