swish513 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 My wife and I took a trip to the Trammel Fossil Park just outside of Cincinnati, Ohio, a couple of years ago. Prior to this visit, I had no fossils. Now, I have these few. Hope you enjoy. Up first, what I am assuming is a brachiopod, but I could be wrong. Next, another brachiopod.

swish513 Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 I also found some (I assume) coral. And this really cool piece! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swish513 Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 And last, I found this rock. It is just full of fossils inside of it. This may be my favorite just because of the number of fossils in it! A view from the side. Thanks for taking a look! I know it's not much, but it's a start.

Tidgy's Dad Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 The big brachiopod at the top looks to be a strophomened like Rafinesquina. There is also one next to it and the photos below it show another type of brachiopod still mostly buried in the rock. I think this is Platystrophia. And the 'coral' is actually the bryozoan Parvohallopora, I think. Nice finds! 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up Parvohallopora, and I think it's P. ramosa. However, thank you for giving me a start to researching what it is. I found a website dedicated to the fossil plants found in the Cincinnati area. That's going to help me a bunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the future, I'm sure it will be. But all your fossils above are animals. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swish513 Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Oops! I knew that. Upon further looking at the site, it's about the fossils of the Ordovician era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
