Middle Devonian Fauna

[Erosionofspecies]

Here’s some fossils I’m working on from 18 mile creek in Hamburg,NY. They’re in pretty dense hard silica shale. Any ideas on identifying them?

Looks like  the free cheek of a trilobite, the circular area  being where the "eye" would be.

I would say those are fragments of goniatite shells

Unfortunately, there are no trilobites that look like that in the Devonian at 18 Mile Creek.   

I think Goniatite may be the best fit here.

Gonaitites are known from Upper Devonian layers at 18 Mile Creek. They come from the Cashaqua Shales above the Moscow formation. Here are some I found a few years back:  http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/2013/06/goniatites-from-upper-devonian-of-new.html  Although mine are less 3-D that your examples.

theres quite a lot of goniatites big and small  in the area that I found them. Most likely the case. Thanks y’all!
