I’m working as an environmental consultant at a site in Torrance, CA (next to LA) in Pleistocene alluvium. At 25 feet below ground surface, we drilled into what looks like coral. Can anyone tell if it is coral and if possible, what type? Thank you!!

Hello, I was looking throug my fossil storage, when I suddenly found this danish flint nodule with an interesting, spikey looking imprint that I have no idea of what it may be. I have some literature about fossils from the baltic coasts, but nothing shown in it seemed to match. I was wondering about the spikes, and the stem it has, so I thought brachiopod, but nothing matched. Hopefully you guys are able to solve this mystery. Age : maastrichtiam-danium formation : flint, danish flint Finding location : Langeland, Denmark Sice : about two cm long (hole counted in) Sorry, but Im not able to secure good pictures of the stem section, as its only visible when light directly shines into it. So when I hold my camera in front of it, it blockes off the light, and then its only black.

Been finding some fossils not related to the Moenkopi or Chinle recently. I assume they washed into the area. Haven’t gotten positive identification of them.

I drive 8 hours with a friend to a location he remembers from his childhood as yielding a lot. Oh boy it did. 100% worth the drive. Lake Huron, among the agates, pyrite, yooperlite, has some extraordinary Devonian fossils. All fossils were collected from the beach of his family’s property except for the fenestelid bryozoan, which was found at a gas station on the way there. please enjoy this collection of gastropods, petoskey stones, various tabulate corals, crinoids, stromatoporoids, bivalves, Brachiopods, tenteculites, horn corals, an unidentified agatized fossil in jasper matrix, and a pudding stone I felt like showing off too. Thanks! I highly recommend the area.

Ordovician decalcified specimen, the two moulds Scale bar: 5mm I would guess Fenestrida bryozoan, but might it be some sort of echinoderm "thing"?

Found in landscaping gravel at a gas station on a 6.5 hour drive to Lake Huron for some fossil hunting. This is probably Devonian. Instinct tells me horn coral but it looks rougher than that and lacks visible septa at the top. Bryozoan colony? That’s my next best guess. Thanks! Love you guys.

Burrow? Coral? Bryozoan?

Went to the local gravel pit. Walked away with this gorgeous gastropod and a beautiful bryozoan in jasper. Will be returning

This piece of Madison limestone contains a hash of crinoid and rhombopora. I initially thought this was fenestella but as I look at it again years later I'm thinking the geometry isn't quite right. Thoughts?

Hello again, I have some more photographs of fossil specimens that I am unsure about or looking to confirm. Appreciate the help. 1. Devonian, Genesee Formation from around Dansville, NY. Agonatite? Gastropod? 2. Also Devonian, Onondaga Formation I believe, Erie Co.. I am not great at trace classification ID beyond that it looks to be a trace burrow 3. Devonian Moscow Fm., Erie Co. The little fossils on the left side of image? Can't find any sources on these. Neat trilobite eye in the rock. 4. Rugose Coral, Devonian Livingston Co. What is the fossil attached to the coral body? 5. Irondequoit Formation I believe. Definitely from Lockport, NY. These Bryozoa or some type of coral?

I found this rock about 20 years ago while hiking a piece of property I was considering buying, which was perched on a high bluff over looking the Illinois River. I picked it up because of the beautiful druzy crystals on it. I have been cleaning quartz crystals this week, which I found a few weeks ago near Hot Springs, AR. I was using Iron out to remove the iron stains. Anyway, I have kept this rock in my kitchen window so it could catch the sunlight and sparkle for me all these years. It is not the finest home decor, but definitely my style. I picked it up today to see if it had any iron stains on it that might need to be removed. As I was looking at it something in the chert caught my eye! I’ve had this rock all these years, but never realized, to my great delight (squeal!!!), there were fossils in it until today. That just makes it all the more special and cool. The formation there is Keokuk and Reed, which is Mississippian. I think these may be Bryozoa, but I’m not certain. I’m not sure I’ve ever hunted a Mississippian formation and found much besides crinoid pieces. Note the little rice grain size/shape dark spots on the top right side. I saw them and began to wonder if they were fossils. I turned the rock around to look at all sides and saw these rice grain size and shapes that were clustered together. See top center just below the crystal. These look flat, but in the next pic they have more dimension. Rice grain size and shape center of pic. The bottom of the rock. Note bottom center it almost looks like a plant leaf of sorts, but I assume Bryozoa. I have not found many fossils in the area. I found a couple crinoid fragments on the nearby land that I ended up buying instead. So, I’m pretty sure these are marine fossils. A few miles away to the east in Arkansas, in the Boone Formation, I found 3 Spirifers and abundant crinoid stalk fragments. Can anyone confirm that these are Bryozoa and if so what type they may be? Thank you in advance for your comments and input. Kim

Is there much known about epibionts growing on Brachiopods. As I think i may be discovering a few examples showing this . Would anyone else have any examples please.
