3 years, 9 months ago3 years, 9 months ago@trevor-rempert@mason-hintermeister Usually, for a specimen to be considered research-grade within a repository, it cannot be logged in another collection/repository. In this case, as it is a bought specimen, I’m going to tag in @sadie-mills and @samantha-ocon! Do you know if this specimen has been curated in any other collections? The issue lies…[Read more]

3 years, 9 months ago3 years, 9 months ago@samantha-ocon or @sadie-mills, since I’m pretty sure you helped found this app, could you help with my group-making question above? I’ve also made a forum post on it in the “Help” forum topic if anyone wants to answer me there. Thank you very much!

3 years, 10 months ago3 years, 10 months agoThanks @sadie-mills. I agree with @paul-mclain it looks to be a section through a bryozoan. It could be a small coral fragment too, hard to tell since it’s fragmentary and worn!

3 years, 10 months ago3 years, 10 months agoThanks for tagging me in, @Sadie-Mills! Hi, @Kyle-Griffiths – I’m seeing fenestrate (windowed) bryozoans here and some crinoid columnals! I am so jealous!!

3 years, 10 months ago3 years, 10 months agoThanks 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!

3 years, 11 months ago3 years, 11 months agoNo problem, @Dominik-Niehaus. We’re aware of the spam problem and currently trying to wrangle it. I don’t believe there is a report function, but thank you for bringing this up to me. I will mention it to our team for future myFOSSIL updates.

3 years, 11 months ago3 years, 11 months agoAbsolutely no problem, @Kristen-Cotiaux! Just “Comfort”. I do not believe these to be trace fossils. I think worm burrows are ichnofossils, but since tube worms secrete their calcareous shells, I think they count as body fossils, @Sadie-Mills.

3 years, 11 months ago3 years, 11 months ago@santino-diaz I would have to agree with @colefossilfinder-blitz that this is just a rock, a cool looking one still! I’d like to verify if we are correct though, so @jbauer and @sadie-mills could you check this picture out? Thank you!

You can update your classification to be Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Echinodermata, Class Echinodea. It looks to be an irregular form, you can use the echinoid database to look through images and find a similar fossil:…[Read more]

4 years ago4 years agoHi @tok-moon! This looks like the stem of some sort of tree fern, probably in the family Cyatheaceae. This is the family that most modern tree ferns belong to. The large, squiggly, semi-circles are leaf bases – regions on the stem where a leaf would attach. Although not true wood, these parts can be found in association with petrified wood. Most…[Read more]
