I found that exact thing in limestone at a paintball place, I couldn’t find what it is but I’d also like to know
Gotta be a small fish
@bill-heim do you have any ideas?
Would need to know the geologic age of the location. This would give a lot of info as to what it might be. I know virtually nothing about Canadian geology.
@bill-heim mine was found in Northern Ohio
ON is not the abbreviation for Ohio. Ohio has primarily Paleozoic fossils (there are some Pleistocene -ice age- land mammals). Thus this would probably be some kind of invertebrate like a trilobite cast or sea fern. When I unpack my fossils of Ohio book (I moved recently) I may be able to find more info.
Northern Ontario, it’s Paleozoic fish between the dorsel and tale, and was most likely moved into my area by the Pleistocene glacial flood according to my old prof
Hey Kevin, this is a lovely trilobite!! We’d love to add it to our research database if you could fill in some of the fields. If you know what age it is and what formation, you can put that into the geochronology and lithostratigraphy section respectively. If you don’t, you could use the app or the website Rockd to figure it out. As for classification, you can put class trilobita. Thanks!!
This isn’t a trilobite, it only has two segments. I see some pattern of indents just left of the middle, I’m not sure what they would attach to. If this is an invertebrate, which I think it is, then it wouldn’t be a rib cage.
Looks a bit like a species of Conulariid but the age of the rock will tell much more than our guesses.
Download the “Rockd” app to find out age of your location.
It’s downloading now, I have a fish bowl of specimens for you, seeing as how identifying is not my game can you guys name them?
It could be fish ribs or a types of shell that has be eroded
Hello @a-trilobite, this is just the pygidium, or last section of a trilobite.
Are you sure it’s not a tooth, it looks sort of like Fossilized enamel/the bottom of a tooth.?.?…
How big is it?
Very small 3/4 inch across definitely not tooth, I could see why you think that from the pic
