I am NEW here and always been interested in fossils, but don’t have a ton of time to devote, starting today! I hope I am doing this right!!! Please help identify the little fossilized creatures in this rock.
Welcome to MyFossil. Fossils are easier to identify if you know the following — Where the fossil was found, both geographically (state, and specific locality)and stratigraphically (different organisms lived at different time periods; higher up in the cliff = younger, lower down = older). I am unfamiliar with Alabama fossils, so I’m attaching a geologic map of your state to help you determine the approximate age of your find.
The specimen you are holding appears to be a chunk of coral with impressions of crinoid stems in it. Hope that helps get you started — good luck!
