    Is this a Rugose Coral colony? Found in the Bangor Limestone formation in NW GA

      Difficult to tell because of mud, but it’s possible. Is this from a caving trip?

      I’m guess you’re somewhere under the Appalachian Plateau like Lookout or Pidgeon Mtn if you’re encountering Bangor Limestone lol.

    What type of fossil is this? Found in White River National Forest, CO

    • Profile picture of A Trilobite
      A Trilobite replied 8 months, 3 weeks ago

      Likely some kind of sponge or coral. Try researching the age of the rock you found it in and what animals lived there at the time to find a match.

    • Profile picture of Patrick Hsieh
      Patrick Hsieh replied 8 months, 2 weeks ago

      Probably coral. As @a-trilobite says, you’ll need to figure out the formation it came from to get a better idea of the age and what fossils have been documented. Macrostrat is helpful: https://macrostrat.org/map/#/z=10.3/x=-106.7108/y=39.5487/bedrock/lines/ The White River National Forest is large and is very geologically complicated, with…[Read more]

      Looks like a horn coral to me. GREAT FIND!!!! It’s extended and the tentacles are out! No one finds that!

      Rugose coral possibly. (Horn coral)

    What type of cephalopod is this? Found in White River National Forest, CO

    • Profile picture of A Trilobite
      A Trilobite replied 8 months, 3 weeks ago

      It might be a cephalopod, or maybe a turritella Gastropod?

    • Profile picture of Patrick Hsieh
      Patrick Hsieh replied 8 months, 2 weeks ago

      Not a cephalopod. Cross section of a high spiraled gastropod.

    • Profile picture of A Trilobite
      A Trilobite replied 8 months, 2 weeks ago

      It’s turritella then

    • Profile picture of MacKenzie Smith
      MacKenzie Smith replied 8 months, 2 weeks ago

      @riannon-colton I agree with @a-trilobite and @patrick-hsieh that this is a gastropod and likely Turritella.

      Marion Marshall replied 8 months, 2 weeks ago

      It’s a turritella Gastropod. If you had the animal/shell rather than a calcite outline it would look like a stone spiral. If I can attach a photo to this answer I will, as I have one.

      Ok, I can’t. I’m going to just post the photo so you can see it. Cheers!

    What type of brachiopod are these? Found in Black Hills, SD

    • Profile picture of Patrick Hsieh
      Patrick Hsieh replied 8 months, 2 weeks ago

      The Black Hills encompass a wide area with complicated geology. More precise location or identification of the rocks it came from is crucial. This is the best bet since you can then look up what has been documented in those rocks. Without that, these look like they could be in the Order Orthotetida or Orthida. A view of the interior or the beak…[Read more]

      It’s a large shell, not an ammonite

    • Profile picture of Patrick Hsieh
      Patrick Hsieh replied 8 months, 2 weeks ago

      I don’t see evidence of any sutures or septa so I do not think it is a cephalopod. It is more likely a gastropod.

      It’s a Gastropod. 🐌
