3 years, 7 months ago3 years, 7 months agoHi @vperez and @jacob-beasecker – I agree more with Jacob’s identification of Cayugaea. It is difficult to tell with a weathered corallite. Jacob do you have a copy of the Strata and Megafossils of the Middle Devonian Silica Formation? It was recently (last 6 ish years) reprinted with really nice images. Talk soon, Jen

3 years, 7 months ago3 years, 7 months ago@smoran this is another Atrypida specimen if @jacob-beasecker wants to narrow down the taxonomy to the order, but again – hard to get to a species ID with only one view.

3 years, 7 months ago3 years, 7 months agoHi @smoran I would agree that this seems to be a Pseudoatrypa but it is difficult to confirm species ID from one image. If @jacob-beasecker would like to post additional images I could take another look. Are you from Michigan, Jacob? Glad to see more local fossils on the site!

3 years, 7 months ago3 years, 7 months agoHey @jacob-beasecker, this one also looks like Heliophyllum based on the second 3D model on this page: https://www.digitalatlasofancientlife.org/learn/cnidaria/anthozoa/rugosa/

3 years, 7 months ago3 years, 7 months agoHey @jacob-beasecker, I’m wondering if this specimen could be from the genus Heliophyllum? It seems fairly similar to the 3D model on the Digital Atlas of Life https://www.digitalatlasofancientlife.org/learn/cnidaria/anthozoa/rugosa/ @jbauer any ideas on this one?

3 years, 7 months ago3 years, 7 months agoThanks @jacob-beasecker! Much appreciated. I think that also makes the county Presque Isle County as well, correct? That’s where my confusion was coming from.
