Found as surface float on the scree pile at the Kashong exposure. Originally assigned to Delthyris, reassigned to Spirifer, Acrospirifer, and Patriaspirifer. Alternate spellings: P. duodenaris, P. duodenaria, P. duodenarius. Does not appear in Fossilworks or Wilson’s “Field Guide to the Devonian Fossils of New York”. Classification information from Fossilworks entry for Patriaspirifer genus. Reference: Linsley, D. M. Devonian Paleontology of New York. (1994) Paleontological Research Institution Special Publication 21. Hall, J. Palaeontology of New York v. 4.

Looking for current information for fossils that aren't in all of my available references
Mediospirifer posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I'm putting together a bunch of entries for Collections, and I keep running across fossils for which I can't find some important pieces of data--like "Author Citation"! For example, I have one example of a tiny brachiopod listed as Cyrtina recta in my Linsley1 fossil guide. It doesn't appear at all in my Wilson2 guide, nor is it listed in Fossilworks. I did find it in Hall's Palaeontology of New York v. 43 as Cyrtina hamiltonensis var. recta. The plates used by Linsley are taken from Hall. Here's a set of photos of my specimen: Pedicle valve. 9mm x 5mm: Hinge side of pedicle valve: Brachial valve. 9mm x 5mm: Side view (Hinge at left): Now, Cyrtina hamiltonensis is listed in Fossilworks, as well as the Wilson guide, but that is a distinctly different shape. On this specimen, I'm looking for the correct Author Citation (Hall 1867?) and the current nomenclature. Example #2: Acrospirifer duodenaris, according to Linsley. Not listed in Wilson, Hall, or Fossilworks. Acrospirifer murchisoni appears in Fossilworks, but that's Lower Devonian according to Linsley (and isn't listed in Wilson or Hall, either). Here's some photos (9mm (if it weren't missing a tip) x 5mm): Pedicle, brachial: Again, I need an Author Citation and current nomenclature. Thanks for any help with this. I have more! 1. Linsley, D.

I found these today in Jack county, TX not far from the Wise county border. I’m not sure what the formation is there, but I think it could be either Jasper Creek or Alluvium. I don’t know much about the Alluvium, which is Cenozoic, Quaternary. I’m not sure I’ve ever hunted in the Cenozoic so I’m not sure what would characterize it. I’m learning though. I’d say the material resembled Pensylvania. Pic 1 & 2 are side the 2 sides I’m guessing that pic 1 is the dorsal valve side (there’s a convex vertical part running down the middle of the shell). # 2 is the pedical valve side and there’s a concave vertical part running down the middle of the shell. But I could be wrong on which is which.

Hi! This teacher is spending the last day of Fall Break Christmas shopping - fossils for my students! Found a few beauties for teacher, too... I think this may be part of a trilobite... thoughts? More pics in comments of other mystery finds as I find them! Thanks in advance!

Hi all just sorted out some old fossil and found this fossilised seabed. I found it 20 years in a river in South Wales can't remember where it was. This was before I was interested in fossils or natural history. The fossil over years is going a chalky lighter shade , if that makes any sense. What can I protect it with . Also what traces of fossils can you see in it. Kindest regards Bobby

I have a number of mortality plates that I collected from the middle/upper Devonian Hamilton formation near Ithaca New York. In case the photos aren't clear, it's mostly brachiopod and crinoid hash. Would be interested in trading for any vertebrate material. Or invertebrate that lies outside the Devonian (maybe a similar mortality plate from the Ordovician or Silurian, so I could compare). Anyone interested? Make me an offer. Matt

Here is some of the more interesting miscellaneous material from the little Devonian spot in my area I thought I'd share, I'm not sure of any of the specific IDs of any of these specimens I can only guess brachiopods, a possible crinoid stem, and horn corals?

Hi all, I am looking to obtain some more brachiopods for in my collection, mostly because I think that it's a fascinating group of animals. Unfortunately, I do not have many of them. Therefore I'm asking the help of you all! This is what I want: Brachiopods (spiriferid or not) from any continent (preferably not from Europe) from the Paleozoic. I don't need a lot, just a few different ones to widen my collection! Having from many different locations would be nice too. I already have the following though, and as to avoid having duplicates I am not interested in these: Platystrophia from Maysville (KY, USA) Punctopsirifer from Beckenridge (TX, USA) Terebratula perforata from Kaloot (NL) Cyrtospirifer verneuilli from Barvaux-sur-Ourthe (BE) Atrypa reticularis from Eifel (DE) Cererithyris and Kallirhynchia from Lion-sur-Mer (FR) If you have one of those species (but from another location), I'm still interested! Or if you have other species but from the same location, same goes! What I don't want is to have the same species from the same location. In return, I have a selection of different (mainly) European fossils, ranging from shark teeth to seashells (and a few brachiopods ), and many other things. I also have several fossils from closed locations! If you're looking for anything specific yourself, then you can always ask me and I'll see what I have. If you're interested and have anything to propose, please send a PM! Thanks in advance! Max PS: for international shippers, make sure that the shipping costs to the Netherlands are not too high. I'm willing to ship to anywhere, but I just want to make sure that this is both ways! (No Track & Code needed; no signing needed; no priority needed; envelope is better)

I’m going to try and i.d. these Silurian brachiopods, as this note in the matchbox below that holds them is all the information I have. What I have noticed is those indicated with the “white arrow” below would appear to have the same appearance as each other. But the one indicated by the “red arrow” below looks more bulbous and not flat on the bottom. Does anyone think that there may be two different species here?

After Monica's recent post looking for HH IDs I'm prompted to solve a couple uncertainties of my own from that spot, if anyone can help me... This coral was labeled 'Favosites (poss. alpenensis)'... Can anyone confirm or suggest a better fit? I don't know what all the species of Favosites are at that place but I know there are more than one. Second, I know there are 2 types of Mucrospirifer, one being more elongated than the other. I believe I have some of both here but some seem ambiguous. Are there any surefire distinguishing features of either species other than the (possibly variable) elongation?

Found near Green Bay, WI. The Maquoketa Formation. Interesting fossil not sure what is it as its lil unusual

I was flipping through some material from Rickard Hill road in Schoharie when I noticed this brachiopod. I have never seen a brachiopod with an "elongated" part like this although I am certainly no expert in brachiopods. Looking at it under a microscope, it seems to be one whole organism. I'm not completely sure though. This one definitely has me puzzled and any help will be appreciated!

Here is the largest brachiopod that I have found here yet. I could see the very end of it in the matrix and it was loose. The chunk didn't break exactly where I wanted it to, never does, but it came out OK. It was cracked into a few pieces so I glued it back together. Finally found one "eatin' size". Cheers.

This appears to be a section of the largest brachiopod or bivalve that I have seen here so far. The ridges are near parallel in each direction and there is a very slight arc to the surface suggesting (to me) a relatively large specimen. I did not see it in the link referenced earlier. Does anyone recognize this one ? The next post has a stranger in it as well. Almost looks like the hinge of a brachiopod, but not sure. Thanks again. Here is the other ...................

About 57 years ago I found this fossil in Monroe, NY when I was 12 yrs old at summer camp. I brought it into the NYC Museum of Natural History, and a paleontologist told me it was a Brachiopod internal mold, about 365 million years old, putting it into the Devonian period. I have since examined photos of Brachiopods taken from every angle, and have noticed some similarities, but other things don't seem to match up. I'm hoping someone on this Forum has any additional info. Thanks!!!

Hello, another one from Ayios Athanasios hills, 5km from shore, this one I already prepped, it's a bit confusing, at some point there seems to be a shell over a shell, when I tried to prep the inside, there were white and red parts, also a small round shell part, so I stopped till I get your advice. Is it half a brachiopod again or something else? It is white/pearly with light shades of grey as opposed to which was more brown/orange and bigger Here are the photos the size is 38mm from one far side to the other, yet the one side is slightly broken so ...

So as I am new to this whole formation and it's species, so I need some help again. Does any one know the species or genus? This is a brachiopod, the largest species I have yet come across in the Mahantango outcrop outside of McCoys ferry. I have found a few of these, only one larger than this but unfortunately it was broken. In big pool, MD I once came across a rock face with around 10 eroding out of the cliff, I didn't have the tools to collect them however. I can try to provide any other useful information needed to ID.

Hi, My family co-owns some property along the Cacapon River in West Virginia, and we often find small fossil shells in great numbers along the roads and creeks. Here are a couple pictures for reference, I think they're Brachiopods? https://i.imgur.com/C3D0QUU.jpg https://i.imgur.com/dWgZ617.jpg There are tons of rocks like this in the area, most of which are brittle shale. You can find them just about anywhere, but they're most common on the banks around small creeks. The shell impression on the bottom right of the second image was the largest fossil we'd ever found there, but within a few minutes we stumbled across something similarly sized that we've never seen before. https://i.imgur.com/NbYwr9R.jpg It's about four inches long, segmented, and tapers toward the end. Up close it has a very fine texture pattern that reminded me of coral. A volunteer at our local library seems confident it's the impression from an Orthocone shell, but I wanted to be certain. Can anyone give us an ID? Thanks very much!
