Paleoworld-101 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Some great brachiopods you've got there! How old are these? "In Africa, one can't help becoming caught up in the spine-chilling excitement of the hunt. Perhaps, it has something to do with a memory of a time gone by, when we were the prey, and our nights were filled with darkness..." -Eternal Enemies: Lions And Hyenas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard_l Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The first group looks like corals, the second as said above are brachiopods, and the last looks like a mixture of crinoids, bryozoans and more coral. I am just guessing by the look of the brachs that it is Devonian but I am probably wrong.

squalicorax Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The brachiopods in the center are Middle Devonian. Probably Milwaukee Formation based on the preservation. You have some nice mucrospirifers and one round Atrypa. These from Milwaukee Co?

squalicorax Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I agree that the rest of the fossils are from the Racine formation or another Silurian Formation. I see some Rugose and tabulate corals. My Flickr Page of My Collection: http://www.flickr.com/photos/79424101@N00/sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmax Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Squalicorax I found all of them In an area between Kenosha and Racine , I found them close to the water , I have more corals and brachiopods Everytime I go to that place I find between 4 or 5 Sometimes more there also lots of cool rocks too .
