This was found in Cayuga Ontario (Devonian) in 1988 and is still marked in my collection as an unknown. I have had a number of suggestions over the years as to what it is but nothing that screams that's it for sure. I always thought that it was echinoderm of some type but others have suggested eurypterid. Any thoughts. It was found at surface level of an abandoned water filled quarry so there is no assurance that it actually originated at that quarry but it probably did as it looked like the same matrix as the surrounding rock. Please jump in with your thoughts... I would really like to figure out what it is as I have nothing else that remotely looks like this

4th of July - Trip Report (sneak preview) Just got back from our 4th of July fossil-fishing trip - will do a full trip report soon but in the meantime here are a few quick pix of our trip. We went to Tully NY and found a few fossils but fairly notable - hopefully getting identified in the Fossil ID section. Nan found 2 trilos at Tully, then we went fossiling and fishing at Lake Cayuga and spent half a day collecting lots of trilobites at a company-owned site where they give permission to collect. Here's a very quick preview: The first pic shows Nan with a trilo found at our normal Tully NY site - we didn't crack shale because of the rain so we picked thru rubble and she found this. The second shot is from Lake Cayuga where we discovered a trilo near a pocket where someone had extracted a concretion. The last pic shows the Cayuga site. More pix coming and a full trip report soon...
