Was I too obvious? lol

1 week, 5 days ago1 week, 5 days agoHi @samantha-ocon! I’m pretty excited about “plunging the Paleozoic” since all of my prior experience was with Cretaceous and post Cretaceous strata. I grew up in NW GA and had no idea there were fossils practically in my backyard. If you are ever on your way up to Chattanooga there are a number of places with Paleozoic collecting sites. Just…[Read more]

1 week, 5 days ago1 week, 5 days agoGreetings @samantha-ocon, Thank you for the assistance in narrowing down the specimens classification and the helpful link. I have hunch that its order might be Fenestrata from comparison with specimens from “Contributions to the Paleontology of Northwest Georgia.”

2 weeks, 1 day ago2 weeks, 1 day agoI agree with @bill-heim. It does look somewhat volcanic, which would be weird since the majority of the Texas Hill Country is composed of sedimentary rock. Depending on where in the hill country you obtained it there is a possibility that it is a concretion of a carbonate rock, which occasionally contain fossils. So, you can probably rule out egg.

A drop or two of vinegar would tell if it is limestone. It would fizz.

2 weeks, 1 day ago2 weeks, 1 day agoGreetings @cameron-muskelly! This specimen was discovered just outside of LaFayette in Walker County. The matrix is either Upper Ordovician or Lower Silurian. My working hypothesis is “Chickamauga Limestone.”

Hi, @Matthew-Gramling, I’ve been trying to find an ID for this li’l guy. Bryozoans are pretty hard. I am thinking it’s class -> Stenolaemata based on this website: https://ucmp.berkeley.edu/bryozoa/bryozoafr.html – which just says that Gymnolaemata, the other Paleozoic class of bryozoans were uncalcified and only really present as borings in the…[Read more]

2 weeks, 2 days ago2 weeks, 2 days agoHi @jen-mashburn! This looks like a weathered conception or rock of some kind. There could be a fossil, but it’s difficult to tell from one photo. If you have the time to photograph the other sides it would help out a lot to determine if it’s a fossil or not.

So jealous, @Matthew-Gramling – there’s nothing Paleozoic down here in Florida.
Which brach are you referring to – I’m assuming it’s the one that looks like an internal mold?

So cool, @Matthew-Gramling! Same applies here, where it should be stenolaemata.

2 weeks, 5 days ago2 weeks, 5 days ago@mackenzie-smith I was alternatively considering Strophominida, since a number other specimens which are on the posting docket look rather similar. Thank you for the correction!

Thank you!
