MRfossilMISTER Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 You already read the title so lets start: (all of these were bought) Brittlestar? No idea what species this could be. Fossil shrimp, possibly carponanus? Fossil fish found behind shrimp fossil. possibly Knightia? Fossil leaf. again no idea what this type of leaf. 1 games are fun, but finding fossil is even better!

Carpopenaeus The fish would not be a Knightia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 The echinoderm looks like it is from the Moroccan Ordovician to me. Nice fossils! 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 The fish could be Davichthys gardeneri , or any other number of small fishes from the early upper Cretaceous of Lebanon. Can't be sure, as no size was listed, and both caudal fin and skull are incomplete. Also no other fins visible at least in this photo. Probably best to label it Fossil Fish, Lebanon. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Tidgy's Dad Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 2 hours ago, Rockwood said: That is an ophiuroid right ? I think so. Some of the ophiuroids look rather like starfish and vice versa. Sometimes the disc in the centre is not so obvious. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

abyssunder Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Ophiuroids from the Ordovician of Morocco (Ktaoua Formation, Kaid Rami) like the specimen in question are sold as Protaster.
