Idk what this is exactly. I'm not sure if it's a sponge or an orthoceras shell.

If anyone could identify this fossil, that would be great.

Sponge fossils.

I don't know what specific species they are so I just call them bullet sponges

It looks like you have quite a collection. I wish I knew of some spots around Orlando so I could play hooky and hunt with you while you're here, lol.

I think your "sponges" in post #17 are actually orthocones and the ones in #18 are corals.

Nice stuff AlphaX9.

Going to be needing more room soon. :)

On the sponges might want to look at belimites.

They look segmented.

Amazing collection :wub: !

2-Love that trilos: the first two are probably Flexicalymene sp., maybe ouzregui (wich are pretty common in Morocco).The chinese one is an Elrathia kingii,IMO.

4-I think they're Paleozoic, but this is just a "wild guess".

7-You don't have only ammonites (Order Ammonitida_flower-shaped suture lines_Mesozoic).I also see a specimen that resembles a nautiloid and a goniatite (order Goniatitida_simple suture lines_Paelozoic).

9-An orthoconic nautiloid.If this one came from a geological formation that is not located in the Middle Ordovician of Estonia,Sweden,Lithuania,Belarus and Ukraine (please feel free to correct or add any info ;) ) it's not an Orthoceras (this designation is not anymore used for all the orthoconic nautiloids:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthoceras_History of the name.

I would identify that as Geisenoceras (generalized sense).

11-The French ammo is a Perisphinctes sp ,IMO(however, I'm not an expert).

13-The white specimens are gastropods.About the black ones, try to compare them with Goniatite sp.

15-Shells???

16-Orthoconic nautiloids.

17-I see scleractinian colonial corals and clionaid sponge borings (Entobia???).

Beautiful gift :wub: !Although, I think the specimen could be modern, because Mexico waters are very rich in reefal fauna.

18-Amazing !

Regards,
