Well, went to the Swatara Gap, Pa, and found alot of very small brachiopods, and some cephalopods. The last pics were given to me by a friend. Can anyone name the element? From Utah or Montana.

Galena -- lead sulfide.

Yep, definitely Galena just by the cubic crystals and color. Is the rock really heavy?

Edit... Good finds too! You must have been to the Suedsberg pit then since your fossils are all Devonian in age. Did you pull that gastropod from there too?
