Hello, this slab is from the Kope Formation, particularly Upper Alexandria sub-member within Delhi Township, Ohio. I am unsure if these rounded "structures" are bryozoans, echinoderms, or brachiopods, but i'm leaning more toward bryozoans. Fauna on the slab include: -Cincinnaticrinus, Ectenocrinus -Retrosirostra OR Dalmanella (hard to distinguish) -Bythopora -Isotelus, Flexicalymene -Ambonychia If anyone has an idea as to what the round objects are, please comment! Thank you! EDIT: I now believe these are individual cephalopod chambers that were filled with hash. I credit a fellow UC student!!! Now I wonder if anyone else thinks similarly.

Some recent Upper Ordovician finds at Mimico Creek, Toronto
Rogue Embryo posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
First, if anyone in the Toronto area is interested in going fossil hunting along Mimico or Etobicoke Creeks, I'd welcome the company! Before I get to a couple of better finds, I'm curious to know what the black fragments are below, which I often find embedded in the shale. Can someone please give me a clue about these? Some orthoconic cephalopods: The next two are the same fossil from different perspectives: Some bivalves: Bryozoans: Cheers, Camille -
Found this lovely pair of bivalves in Mimico Creek over the weekend and hoping to get some help on ID. It looks like either Colpomya or Cymatonota, based on images I've seen. Any ideas in this? Camille

I’ve heard lots of suggestions, from Tentaculites to a fragment of a larger organism - I’m not sure what this is.-

A really cool piece of three Cyclopyge? These trilobites were thought to be pelagic.- 1 comment

Not sure on the ID for this bug. As stated earlier, these guys are formally undescribed - though I’m sure there’s a genus out there that matches this blind trilobite.-

Possibly my least common Pupiao trilobite, I can’t find much information online regarding this genus. If anyone has an articulated example of this Asaphid, please share it in with me!-

Possibly Nileus armadillo, but I can’t be sure as, previously mentioned, bugs from this formation are formally undescribed.-

Wondering whether this is a bryozoan colony or a coral. In the detail, I noticed a honeycomb pattern, but I think both bryozoans and corals can have such a pattern. Thanks. Camille
