fossilcrazy Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Hello PAJim, Welcome to the Fossil Forum. To give a little help in the ID of these. First picture has a Rugose (Solitary) Coral. Second picture is a partial Cephalon (Head) of a Phacopid Trilobite. Third is a column segment (Stem piece) of a Crinoid. Last appears to be a partial of a high spire Gastropod (Sea Snail). Likely these are Silurian to Devonian age Marine fossils. Happy Hunting! -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilcrazy Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 We are always glad to help at the FF. Here are some free places for Fossil info from your home state, that can familiarize you with fossils you may find. http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/cs/groups/public/documents/document/dcnr_014599.pdf http://dcnr.state.pa.us/topogeo/collecting/fossilsintro/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAJim Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Thanks! I'll have to dig into that reading there. I had no idea I found a trilobite eye, very interesting. I wish the rest of it was there. I told my son our goal was to find a trilobite and thought we came home empty, at least we found part of one!

Guguita2104 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Nice finds ! I agree totaly with youFossil Crazy, except in the last...It seems an orthocone.Note the centre of fossil:the hole seems a siphuncle , that was/is a part of the cephalopods.It distributes the gases for the diferent isolated cameras/segments and pump the water to help animal deslocation. However I'm not sure. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
