Katianna Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) Hello! I am new here and have never really used a forum before- honestly. But I would love it if someone could help me identify these fossils! I should also add, I found these in Ontario in Canada! Thanks!

Kane Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Welcome to the Forum. Where were these found? (I'm guessing somewhere near the Great Lakes?) These seem to be water-worn fossil coral. I see some rugose corals and a colonial/tabulate coral in the mix (second from the top). 3 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I think, from top to bottom : Producted brachiopod. Favositid coral. Another tabulate coral. Solitary rugose 'horn' coral. Probably Devonian age. 4 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearby town would probably be good enough for me to give you a ballpark age on these. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Grand Bend likely puts them in the Dundee Formation, Mid-Devonian. That part of the world was about 20 degrees south of the equator back then. A warm thought as we look out on snow now. Next to Wasaga, the Pinery is the best beach in the province. 2 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 You should check regulations regarding collecting fossils in provincial parks. I'm not sure if it is allowed or not, but we don't want you to get into trouble. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
