1 month, 3 weeks ago1 month, 3 weeks agoBased on principles of anatomical symmetry,I thinks it’s safe to assume the pygidium originally possessed 6 total spines as in Arctinurus.

1 month, 3 weeks ago1 month, 3 weeks ago@Mackenzie-smith I’ve been doing some browsing recently and I may have come up with a proximate ID for the pygidium. To me it looks remarkably like that of a Lichida trilobite. It looks very similar to the Arctinurus boltoni specimen from wikipedia page of the same name. Any thoughts on my estimation?

Thank you! They are both from redbubble – the mug was designed by Softbiology: https://www.redbubble.com/people/softbiology/collections/415655-soft-biology (this link is to their science prints) and the opabinia stickers are here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/linseedling/works/25980992-opabinia-pals . (They also have very cute anomalocaris…[Read more]

Was I too obvious? lol

2 months, 2 weeks ago2 months, 2 weeks 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]

2 months, 2 weeks ago2 months, 2 weeks 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 months, 3 weeks ago2 months, 3 weeks 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 months, 3 weeks ago2 months, 3 weeks 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 months, 3 weeks ago2 months, 3 weeks 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.
