janvanwinckel Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 First of all thank you for your help. I need some final help identifying theses fossils we found on the slopes of Tuwayq moutain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-fossils Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hi, 2nd and last ones look like oysters, and beautiful ones too! The 1st one is, I think, a piece of a steinkern (basically a fossil mold of the inside of a snail). The 4th one looks like "worm tubes" aka serpulids. I can't make out anything of the 3rd one, it might just be a concretion (non-fossil rock). I'm pretty confident that the 2nd and 5th are oysters; I'm not completely sure of the rest, if I am wrong someone will surely correct me.

Taogan Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I have a different view of the fourth one, that is a one Euro coin so it would be a mega worm. I think it is a gastropod, something like Bathrotomaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for that one, gastropod also looks like a good possibility. Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.
