The last picture with the slender ribbed fossil is an orthocone. You can see lots of imprints of strophomenid brachiopods around as well. This looks consistent with Ordovician aged rocks, which would make the gastropod in the middle picture of the order Euomphalina. The green color is very cool, I’ve never seen anything like that.
@patrick-hsieh thank you for the information ! Very interesting and much appreciated
Love the green!
A possibility about the color is that it fossilized in copper that oxidized and turned green. Copper fossils do exist, but they’re very rare so it’s not likely. It could just be lichen.
Reply thank you @charles-du and @a-trilobite once again. I’ve posted more green fossils from the same area of rock. The rocks were covered in them.
Scratch what I said about copper, this is actually fossilized with chlorite, a much more common and likely green mineral
Thanks again @a-trilobite
