This is possibly Spirifer concinnus
-
Possibly Spirifer mucronalus
-
Those are for the first and fifth pictures respectively

Thank you @paul-mclain . If you don’t mind me asking, how could you tell the difference between them? And do you know of any good resources for finding information out about Devonian fossils?
-
You are welcome. Devonian Paleontology of New York by David M Linsley is a great source (very thick book with lots of images). It is out of print but shows up on Amazon from time to time. These fossils are both Spirifers but there are some differences in shell morphology. The first fossil has a more rounded shell and not much in the way of tips…[Read more]

Hi there @chad-bruce, from these pictures, this looks like it might be a chip in the rock! If you could upload these with the specimen against a neutral background and with a scale for reference, we might be able to ID it!

@jbauer could you take a look at this Michigan find?
-
Thanks for tagging me in @sadie-mills. @chad-bruce – this looks like several different species of brachiopod shells that have been worn down. The Fossil Guy has a good page on Devonian brachs of NY (similar species to MI): https://www.fossilguy.com/sites/18mile/18_col.htm you should see some similar shapes!

Hi @chad-bruce, cool find! If you could upload this against a neutral background with a scale for reference, that might be able to help narrow down the ID even further, and even make this specimen research grade!

@chad-bruce another awesome find! I see that you’ve already got some of the information filled out! @david-clark might be able to help you narrow it down further. In the meanwhile, to make this research grade, you can upload photos of it against a neutral background with a scale for reference!

Hey! @chad-bruce ! I think I see some Crinoid stem segments.
-
Some of the long, serrated objects almost look like conodont ‘teeth,’ but those usually pretty small.
-
The Traverse Group is the major geological unit you’re collecting. It’s Middle Devonian in age.
-
Thanks for the info @matthew-gramling!
-
Awesome find, @chad-bruce! I agree with @matthew-gramling, I see some crinoid stems and I think the jagged pieces may be strange sections of brachiopods – there is a really diverse Middle Devonian fauna in Michigan!
