cngodles Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Found this in what I call limestone locally, but it is more of a sandstone/shale mix. Very hard, black and cement like. Squares are 1 inch. I air scribed it out of the rock, where 50% was showing. My layer specifically is Woods Run Marine Zone, a hundred or so feet below Ames Limestone. It is the Glenshaw Formation. I am in Western PA. Also, this is my first forum post. I have several other types to post, but I figured I would start with this.

FossilDAWG Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Welcome to the Forum! I'm sure you will find a lot of interest here in your fossils. That looks like a very tough matrix to prep. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Hi, and welcome to the forum. It looks nautiloid, but I wouldn't stake my life on it. I'd wait for the marine fauna guys to give it a shot. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
