MiryamW Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 My 6 year old son and I found lots of fossils just looking through the rubble on the surface yesterday during our first ever trip to the site yesterday. We've identified many of the bivalves we found, and found both crinoid stem cross sections and profiles. We're stumped by a few, however, and would like some help.

jpc Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 What is the age of this stuff? Here are my ID's... from the top: Brachiopod, Horn Corals, Orthoceras type thing, and maybe a coral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are my ID's... from the top: Brachiopod, Horn Corals, Orthoceras type thing, and maybe a coral. Devonian (Mahantango Fm). Based on the the growth lines, the brachiopod *might* be Eodevonaria or a Devonochonetes sp. (which in the Mahantango are much bigger than in similar formations). ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Another possibility on the brachiopod is Protoleptostrophia sp. Neat finds.
