AoS08 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I have over 20 fossils that I’ve found. They basically all look the same except a few, but vary in size and texture. I was hoping someone could tell me what they are and potentially how old/rare they are. Some look like trillobites but I can’t find similar fossils to match them up with. Thank you! —Chris, Southern MI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Welcome to TFF! The 4th picture is a colonial coral, the other pieces are horn corals. Nice pieces. As to the age, We need to know where they were found. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Harry Pristis Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Probably all of these specimens are colonial rugose corals. 3 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AoS08 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Thanks a lot! These last picture and one I uploaded now are two of my favorites. You guys still think those are coral? Just wondering because the look different than the others, like little crawly bugs to me haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 This is also a rugose coral, in cross-section. They look similar to others found in Michigan and certain parts of Ontario which are Devonian in age. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AoS08 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 You guys are awesome! Ive been wondering about them for years. I find them all over down by the railroad tracks so I’m not sure where they brought the rocks in from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
