I picked up this piece of rock because I noticed a trilobite glabella on it, and later while I was cataloging it I found these cool little buggers. I think it’s pretty amazing that such tiny, delicate creatures were preserved for hundreds of millions of years and that a random schlub like me happened upon them at just the right moment to save them from imminent doom from exposure to the elements. 😶
The black square is for scale; it’s 1cm long. #fossil

Brachiopod graphic that includes some information about photography and morphology! Key point to remember for photography is that the hinge goes toward the top of the image. Let me know if you have suggestions for future graphics. I can dive into more morphological terms! #fossil

Internal morphology!
-
The dreaded but incredibly important internal morphology! I can work on that!
-
This is so helpful, thanks Jen!

Hi Troy! I’m having a little trouble telling from the picture so do you think this fossil is one continuous spiral or are these stacked chambers? If one spiral, then it is probably a gastropod (snail). If it is stacked chambers, then it is probably some sort of cephalopod (group containing squids, octopi and ammonites).
-
Not a spiral,more like the stacked chambers with a small round circle that seems to go thru each section.
-
Hi, Troy! Looks like a cephalopod to me! I can sort of make out the siphuncle (tube within the stacked chambers) and it appears to be not central – which is an identification clue.
-
Thank you, sorry for the poor photo.
-
The pictures are pretty blurry, and there’s no size information/scale or horizon info, so it’s hard to make an ID…. It’s definitely not a brachiopod, so at least there’s that. If it’s tiny, my guess would be a tentaculitid of some kind. If it’s large, as it almost seems to be in the first photo, it begins to look more like a cephalopod.
