rockwalker Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 My guess is Devonian period similar to material found at Arkona ON..... More evidence Devonian is correct. My brachipods have been identified as Mucrospirifer. Looks like I have found a special Devonian place right smack in the middle of Mississippi territory.

Missourian Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I am just starting to collect, and learning how to photo them, but here are some of the first ones. From the Pitkin Limestone, Mississippian in NW Arkansas That Pitkin Limestone is fantastically detailed! Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the tatter Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) Here is another one I just got cleaned up a little, it has a lot of things going on in it, Mississippian I think.

PrimitiveHunter Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I slabbed a rock the other day and found these inside. I posted a few pics in the Fossil ID section to figure out what they were. Bryzoans was the consensus so here are a few more pics that I didn't post there.

JohnnyMorales Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) Just found this one on an urchin I had that I thought I should toss in the garden due to the terrible shape it was in. When giving the urchin the once over I saw it. It was super easy to miss, because it's small about the size of a quarter, and without the extreme color enhancement it looks like a white patch of nothing on the gray white urchin test background I haven't tried to confirm what kind it was, but I'm sure it's common something like Membranipora membranacea On the transition between the Walnut/Eagle Formations Cretaceous Bell County Tx. near Harker Heights.

Caleb Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) It's been a while since anything has been posted, so here's one. This is a very large and robust Prasopora from the Ordovician of Minnesota. As you can see, it was found in 3 pieces and glued back together. There's a couple chips missing that couldn't be located when collected, but it's still a pretty cool specimen. Prasopora sp.

DPS Ammonite Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 A fragment of Batostoma gracilis Arnheim formation Upper Ordovician greater Cincinnati area What great specimens, especially the Batostoma. I would call it a large clump not a fragment since it appears to be 15cm across. My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

Ludwigia Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Nice to see a newbee adding to this thread after all those years! Nice samples! I was back at James Dick Quarry in Gamebridge, On. since I last posted here and have one more to add to the collection. A branching Hemiphragma ottawensis from the Ordovician Verulam Formation. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

California Dave Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) What great specimens, especially the Batostoma. I would call it a large clump not a fragment since it appears to be 15cm across. I apologize for that. I meant that I thought the Batostoma fossil was a fragment of a much larger colony. The other two specimens are complete, for the most part. The one in the standing position has a flared base; the other was attached by two extensions its' base.
