There appears to be some bryozoans on there. Can’t tell if they are modern or fossil. Maybe someone who has done work in NC could chime in.

I know @sarah-sheffield has some background there… maybe @lcone could also help out.

4 years, 7 months ago4 years, 7 months agoSuper rare eastern nc find!! Ammonite! Placenta placenteras is what I was told. Beautiful specimen I found in a river around Pitt county. #fossil #collectionsite #method

Hi, @ash-hendrick, it looks like there is an issue with your photo, unfortunately. I’m excited to see it!

4 years, 7 months ago4 years, 7 months agoPieces of what I believe is a rib bone that I have collected from a dive spot in a local river of last two years and have been putting back together slowly. Trying to figure out how to join the three very large and very heavy pieces now to display somehow. I believe it’s whale, several verts found with it as well.

@ash-hendrick, I’m not very good with mammal fossils, but @smoran and @jeanette-pirlo might be able to help you! Also, we can probably constrain the age of this fossil using this app: https://macrostrat.org/sift/#/column/365

Hi there, @kristen-cotiaux @samantha-ocon might be able to help you identify this! If you could, uploading the second picture with a scale would be useful as well!
Hi, @Kristen-cotiaux, this also appears to be a polyp from a scleractinian coral.
@mackenzie-ross-2 @samantha-ocon I left all my fossils in Wilmington 🤦🏻♀️ but when I go back sometime next month I will take more images and redo some images.
@mackenzie-ross-2 I guess my penny isn’t cutting it for scale 😅 but type of measurement device would you recommend as far as cm, mm, in, etc or am I thinking too hard about this
@kristen-cotiaux coins can be great for scale, but the best is always something with measurement, especially for a research grade photo! Here’s a short video on taking research grade photos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF4dx0HHvWI. In this case, cm should be fine!
Okay, update, @kristen-cotiaux, after some googling, I think this might be from the family Flabellidae. Google, and if you agree with me, it would be really useful if you updated the taxonomy to reflect this. Kingdom -> Animalia, Phylum -> Cnidaria, Class -> Anthozoa, Order -> Scleractinia, Family -> Flabellidae.
I think you’re right. Would you be willing to view this article I found pertaining to 3 similar organisms? Latypov, YuriYa.. “A Solitary Deep-Water Corals of the Scleractinian of the Vietnamese Shelf.” American Journal of Zoological Research 2.1 (2014): 5-15.
@samantha-ocon there are 3 pictures that have similar organisms
