Hi. I went to old closed quarry last Monday. I use to visit this one for last ten years. It's a Burren formation dated Visean -Asbian in Galway (3 miles north from town center) Ireland. Mainly you can find Productus , Eomarginifera, S.junceum large colonies, gastropods etc. Specimen below it's the first find of this type I found here. Any ideas? It doesn't look like concretion to me but maybe Iam wrong.

Hi, Found this in Galway in the West of Ireland. It appears to be a limestone that was part of an eroded bank. I really know very little about fossils and a totally uneducated guess is an algae fossil. Thanks for any help. Dave

I was walking around a rocky beach west of Galway and spotted this. It looks like a bone, fairly light-weight, and seems like it was hollow in the middle. I couldn’t see any spongy texture, but I’m almost positive it’s a bone. If anyone has an idea of what it is/what it came from, I’d love to hear it.

Hi guys, Just wondering whether you guys you help me identify some trace fossils and body fossils I observed within the Kilbride formation, County Galway, Silurian age. The formation derived from a shallow marine high energy marine sedimentary facies. The first is a trace fossil I first believed was man made - however it is not perfect spherical! It has a triangular hole positioned near the centre - must be some form of burrowing species? Another trace fossil I observed I believe to be simple sprieten - however it does not appear to be bounded nor does it appear to be u-shaped, I initially believed it to be an arthropod trace, however it was perpendicular to bedding. I also observed these two body fossils in an out of situ boulder, which I believe is the same formation. If not the same formation, the fossil will still be of Silurian age! Lastly (I swear), I experienced these unusual boudin like indents near the fossils, unsure whether biologically realted - any ideas? Thank you and much appreciated, James
