Monica Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Hi all! Last weekend I attended Penn Dixie's Dig with the Experts event on the Sunday, and I found a couple of fossils that I'd like help identifying, if possible. The fossils are mid-Devonian in age. Thanks so much for your help! Monica Item #1 - photo of the entire rock and a close-up. Item #2 - photo of the entire rock and a close-up. Perhaps a crinoid bit?

Fossildude19 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Hey Monica, The first one may be a Styliolina spica. The second item probably needs to be prepped out some, to figure out what it is. 4 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

I wonder if this is a possible genus for similar specimens found at Hungry Hollow here in Ontario (since it's about the same age as the rocks at Penn Dixie). Hmmm... Thanks for your help - you rock!

TqB Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I'm cautiously going for a barrel shaped crinoid columnal on the second - there look to be crenellations at the top and bottom. I've found similar looking Carboniferous ones, complete with tubercles. 3 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for chiming in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
