molydeii Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Hi guys, I've found the website while searching for information about some possible fossils I found around where I live in over several years. I pictured those and hopefully someone here is able to put a name / species / period to them. I am not a collector. I have always been fasciniated by geology, rocks and natural history. Knowing what they are will be very exciting for me. Number 1 : I cannot reemember where exactly I found it but should be some 100km's inland from Aegean sea, close by an ancient city called Pergamon in Modern Turkey. I was simply walking on the foothills of the city when this strange looking rock caught my eye Number 2 : These two are from Palermo in Western Siciliy coast. They're both from a pile of rocks next to the sea. I wasnt't able to look around much to see if there are more rocks like them. Maybe they're carried from somewhere close by. Number 3: Found around 500-800 meters elevation somewhere in Central Anatolia, more than 300km from any modern sea (former Tethys Ocean?) very heavy and rocky at hand. Thank you in advance for your time looking at those. Some more will come soon Edited May 8, 2020 by molydeii Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicnfossils Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I’ll say this before someone else does, just upload your photos directly to the site rather than using links 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molydeii Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Good, thanks. I am working on it now. There are too many pictures so maybe I need to make seperate entries PS : I think now it's better Edited May 8, 2020 by molydeii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molydeii Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Number 4 : Found in Palermo seaside, western Siciliy in Italy, along some white cristallite rocks without textures like that one (three pictures) Number 5 : Found on the beach in Southeastern Aegean coast. Probably modern, but any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molydeii Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Number 5 : fossiliferious limestone? Found between two lakes, Buyukcekmece and Kucukcekmece in an elevation about 200mt from Marmara sea. From what I looked online, it says the area is mostly Miocene dated l,mestones and sandstones. Fpund in a pile of earth and dirt, containing many broken pieces of similar but apperently non-fossilic limestones. That one was larger, and at my hand it broke into four pieces (it was rainy the other day and the stone was wet) Any idea what those seashels in it can be? Thank you everyone for reading the post and looking at the pictures. My English isn't very good so sorry if what I am trying to tell sounds vauge.

Fossildude19 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Welcome to the Forum. 1. Oyster shell fragment 2. ?? Colonial Rugose Corals maybe? - Pictures are too blurry. 3. Spiriferid brachiopod. 4. Coral 5. Barnacles 6. Internal molds of bivalves - may not be enough detail to ID properly. 4 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

molydeii Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Thank you Tim! I'm not good with taking pictures yet I really like to put a name on those bygone creatures. Can you make any guess for period for any of them? I think Braichopod is the oldest one, as it's said on sources that they've gone extinct around 250 million years ago.

Not much else can be said, I think. Franz Bernhard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
