collectorkevin Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Hello, New member who is discovering a love of fossil hunting. All of my collection comes from a large creek on our property in NE Ohio. Please check out the star fish, and possible bird track.....and comment if anyone can identify the last rib looking fossil I attached. Thanks!!

Kane Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 These may all be marine ichnofossils, likely from around the Devonian.. 2 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Hello, Kevin, and a very warm welcome to TFF from Morocco. I agree that there may be burrows/ ichnofossils there but maybe Ordovician if not Devonian. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearLake Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Welcome from Texas (and formerly Ohio)! Yes, I believe #1 is an ichnofossil, probably some type of burrow. I thought the second one might be a bryozoan, but in looking at the picture enlarged, I agree it also is some sort of a burrow or feeding trace. The third one, I'm not certain it isn't just differential weathering of the sediments, but maybe some other views of it might indicate some sort of trace fossil. The age is dependent on where in NE Ohio they came from, but certainly they are Paleozoic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone asked where in NEO.....these were found 40 miles south of Lorain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Hi and welcome. The last one is some sort of coral. BUt I agree that at least the first two are trace fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Looks like a syringoporid coral to me. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
