Looks like fossiliferous limestone with an assemblage of crinoids, bryozoans, and a large brachiopod.

That’s cool

Hey @alex-buchanan! Looks like you have an assemblage of different sections of trilobite anatomy or the external molds of crinoids.
-
According to Rockd, looks like you are collecting in the Yass Formation which is from the Upper Silurian Period and between Wenlock and Ludlow Ages. Hattons Corner Group is also a possibility.

Ah! Thank you! You just helped identify some other fossils I found I the area (crinoid stalks / columns, I believe). I’ll post separately
-
And does that mean the “eggs” may actually be crinoid poo? From Wikipedia: “Faecal matter is formed into large, mucous-cemented pellets which fall onto the tegmen and thence the substrate”
-
Or more likely to be the calyx of a crinoid? Thanks for your help!

Coilopoceras?

hello which fossil do you prefer?

What do you mean? Those are pictures of both sides of you’re thinking it’s two different ones.

Hi @Matthew-Gramling! This looks like a toe bone or a turtle scute? I’m not super sure, so I’ll tag in @jeanette-pirlo.
-
Thank you @samantha-ocon! I look forward to the feedback!
-
HI @matthew-gramling and @samantha-ocon this does not look like a turtle scute. It looks more like a vertebra, but i do not know much about the Cretaceous fossil record. But i can certainly confirm that this is not a turtle scute.

Thank you @jeanette-pirlo! I appreciate the help!!!!

Hi, @mariela-pajuelo. Do you have any clearer photos? I can’t seem to make this out at all. You can add photos to a single specimen by navigating to the specimen page on a desktop: https://www.myfossil.org/dwc-specimen/67012 and clicking “View Media” under the single photo. I would add the other photo you uploaded to this specimen and delete the…[Read more]

Thanks! Uploaded better photos now (I think…).

This looks like a sirenian tooth (manatee or dugong). When things go back to normal, you should definitely bring it by the collections for Richard to fully ID @mariela-pajuelo Great find!
