Since I have gone "down the rabbit hole" of Micro Matrix fossil hunting, I'm going to start a series of posts on the main time periods and locations I am collecting. I'll start off with the Best Of and then add in new finds. Of course, Texas Cretaceous is my primary interest, but will also have posts on Texas Pennsylvanian, Permian, Eocene and Pleistocene. Plus other posts on various locations around the country (and world!) SO if you like Micro fossils, keep an eye out for them! So Texas Cretaceous Best Micro Finds to start! Most of these are 1/8 inch (aprox 3mm) a few being up to 1/4 inch (aprox 6mm) 1. Ammonites -Del Rio and Eagle Ford Formations 2. Heteromorph Ammonites - Del Rio and Eagle Ford Formations 3.

Any Shenanigans on these Starfish?
jikohr posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi everyone! I recently acquired these two at a fossil show at a pretty good price. Thing is, I'm not super familiar with starfish and brittle stars. They're Moroccan so I figured there might be some funny business because, Morocco. I suspect three of the arm ends (in the upper left pic they are the upper right and left and lower right arms) on the starfish and the very tips of the brittle star arms, but if anyone sees anywhere else that might be fake or restored or if those areas look okay it be great if they can point it out. Any insight is appreciated as always!

Hi all. This is from Swatara State Park in PA (ordovician/devonian). Many shell imprints, which are hard to see the way I took the photo, but my son and I were wondering what the little starfish would be. It's very small, maybe 5mm. Anyone have an ID? Thanks so much!

A nice Dictyonema flabelliforme dendroid graptolite from Oslo Fields in Norway. It's Tremadoc, Lower Ordovician in age and is thus maybe around 480 mya. Another angle :

Hello, This is another old collection piece without provenance, and I was hoping someone could tell me if they recognize anything or guess its age. It's a plate of bryozoans, but I think I see a couple starfish peeking out from underneath.

When visiting the region of Erfoud in Morocco, we got some years ago a very unusual starfish. Devonian chalk, perhaps the layers with Cupressocrinites? Do not exactly know. It looks like Helianthaster, but there has nothing been published about starfishes like this one. What do you think? Does anyone know this starfish or has new literature about them? Size is around 10 - 12 cm (original diameter)
