Hello, I wanted to see if anyone would be able to identify this fossil I found in Clarington Ohio. I know it's a coral and I know it's a bryozoan and I'm suspecting it's a Rhombopora however I'm willing to look into any of the species you guys can offer! Thanks for your help. (The fossil in question is roughly an inch long if you're wondering)

Kids & I found corals fairly well preserved in the red clay/dirt & I soaked I water & small amount of vinegar. After cleaning with toothbrushes -They came out sparkly-like a crystalline cover. These are a couple smaller sections. Red clay is difficult to remove. Tips on removing clay without removing the sparkle? Are these worth anything or bother donating to museum. Thank you

Favistina calicina coral from the Credit River near Streetsville, Mississauga. Georgian Bay Formation, Streetsville Member, late Ordovician. Found as a loose specimen by the banks of the Credit River. This colonial rugose coral is very abundant along the site with many small loose colonies. Some colonies can be found on a limestone matrix. Please click on image sizes to see details of the corallites.-

My annual excursion to visit my family which migrated to Kentucky years ago took place at the end of October into November, lasting two weeks. Of course, the planned trip took me in the vicinity of some excellent fossil bearing sediments and though quality time with family was the primary purpose, I did hope to add to my collection. All of the spots I visited were ones I've been to before; however, the first stop was a new one for me- Paulding, well known and documented on the Forum for its Middle Devonian marine fauna. I drove from the suburbs of New York City for almost eleven hours, raining most of the way, arriving at and spending the night at a hotel in Defiance, Ohio. Paulding was about fifteen minutes away. Drove there the following morning, It was a brisk forty degrees, mostly cloudy, but sunny at times. A TFF member I was supposed to hook up with there unfortunately had to bail last minute. A nearby quarry which exposes the famed Devonian Silica Shale had, years ago, stopped allowing collectors to hunt there. There was a big outcry and the quarry set up a fossil park dumping fossiliferous rock onto a property they owned which the public were free to collect from. Much of it is now overgrown and much of the rock has been reduced to gravel. However, there are still many fossiliferous chunks out there if one is willing to look.

Hunting 10 days ago, I found a fossils at different spot and now have the time to show these: I believe it to be a Tapir right side mandible with no teeth. As time permits , I may try to ID which tapir. Upper right is an antler stub, then a barnacle cluster and a number of shells that I have not IDed. I think the coral on the right is Solenastrea hyades, which did exist in the Pliocene_Pleistocene of Florida But the fossil I want to identify is this: What is it ?... echinoid ? I have a sand dollar that is something like that... maybe gastropod worn down to an inner slice ? In this case, your guess is definitely as good as mine, because mine is not very good.

I did it again!! Fossil hunting in the Northern Kainach Gosau, Styria, Austria (Upper Cretaceous)
FranzBernhard posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Too lazy to translate it myself, I just put the finished pdf through the google translator : Fossilien_2023_21052023_E.pdf Some, but not all, formating is lost, though. And its just one page of text besides three pages of pics. No worries about the detailed site map, as we already know, nobody cares about rudists . Here is the link to the original, German version, for our German speaking members : Fossilien_2023_21052023 (pdf, 3.4 MB, personal homepage) Here are the original pics: Have fun !
