Hi everyone this is matt again 

today in the creek near me the first thing I found was a fossil coral called favosites niagarensis Hall which is found in New York

related species widespread in north america 

and the other fossil has many brachiopods in it and they are called productella lachrymosa late devonian New York and Appalachians 

and here are the photos IMG_2549.JPG.9098a5679e3fe6e0b6590982d08773b0.JPGIMG_2547.JPG.060d48e99e5944d1959e3b6537039b9a.JPGIMG_2548.JPG.aee0c91ce6c8321eebacd9230f751802.JPG

Interesting... How many different types of brachs are on that piece - two, or more?

Very cool! I like the brachiopods best. How large is the piece that they are in?

Great finds, Matt!

Glad to see you've been out there collecting again. :) 

The brachiopods are quite well preserved!

Thanks for posting them!

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
