cameronsfossilcollection Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Found this nice slate blue piece in my recent trip to Western New York. What do you guys think? The piece isn’t very big, maybe half an inch - but it looks relatively thick, maybe a centimeter and a half? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petalodus12 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I’d say that it’s probably placoderm. Geologic setting? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t believe I blanked on including anything. Sorry! I found it in some pyrite beds in the Upper Hamilton Group at Fall Brook Falls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nautiloid Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Looks like placoderm to me too. Super awesome find! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s great news messaged a couple professionals as well, will be interesting to see what they say. There’s also definitely more material underneath the rock, if only I could get to it.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connorp Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Nice find! Always exciting to find fish material in the Devonian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks very similar to fish fossils I've found in Devonian rocks near me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
