A few more pictures from the pit. It first I thought trace tubes but now after cleaning I'm not sure. There is texture and segmentation everything is now pyrite

Am I seeing the grain on that first one right ? It looks like a curved shape when it's been sawed from a strait grained board.

It has almost a full revaluation it was gone over with dolomite to clean with water rinse.

I think, the brachiopod does have the Lingulida characters. Lingulida

(was my thought, also)

Nice multi block! No idea what the curved object may be but the brachiopod looks like a Lingula sp.

This is what throws me off its almost plant like.  but I think Lingulida characters also

If someone ( the third at least) agrees in the same manner in his conclusion like the precedent ones, that means the premissa could be good, then the conclusion must be true.

Definitely a Lingula sp. 

A gorgeous specimen, too. :wub:

See the comparison - Plate from Linsley - Devonian Paleontology of New York.

The mystery item I would think either a pyritized burrow, or, ... a part of a crinoid holdfast?

 

Neat finds.

nice Lingula sp., maybe a crinoid stem on the first one?

After being stuck with a rather large honey do list I snuck in a couple of hours of work prepping. I really appreciate everyone's help.

1.  Tag will read Lingula sp.

2.   I scraped and blasted and found nothing to identify mystery tube as anything more than pyritized burrow. Layers in tube makes it look like it was hollow then filled.

@ischua definitely not a crinoid. Looks like a burrow that was filled in. Amazing finds! I love that nice trilobite found at the top left in your initial post.
