    • Zipper oyster maybe?

    • ok so I don’t claim to be an expert, just putting that out there. but likely Ordovician Brachiopods. the one that resembles a ruffles potato chip looks like Zygospira Modesta. the other appears to be a different species. if you would like I could prob get you a species name to help narrow the search

    • to go with my last post it could vary depending on discovery location

    • crazy, a whole fish!!

    • @john-f if it was do you have an idea on what kind (from Long Island New York btw and has a jaw that you can see better from the other side)

    • @justin-scot that’s for the help! But this was found on Long Island New York and all the results I’ve found are from further west but could it still be (btw it has a jaw that you can see on the bottom left corner you can see it better from other angles)

    • @justin-scott sorry tagged you wrong the first time look at the other post

    • Have a look at Bryozoans to compare the semi-circular structure. While it does look like a fish I believe these are a couple of specimens lying in a co-incidental pattern.

    • @thomas-spychalsky as a paleontology student on long island, this is a very unusual find in terms of the colors I am used to for long island fossils. Usually they are a red/brown color, they come from the cretaceous (some have been found in the vicinity of Garvies Point/Glen Cove for example). If this is indeed not brought by humans or glacial till, the larger fossil could be a Ginkgo leaf. The smaller one is definitely a shell of some sort. I do not see a fish fossil.

    • @mason-hintermeister thanks, I have multiple angles and a much better phone now, if I took more pictures could you help me anymore?
