2 months ago2 months agoI saw the straight nautiloid shells on google (didn’t know they were called orthocones though) only after I tried breaking it open thinking it was the outside edge of an ammonite last year :/
oh well, maybe I’ll find a better one -

2 months ago2 months agoThanks @matthew-gramling ! I’ve almost exhausted my sock drawer of fossils I’ve stumbled on to post though, hopefully, I’ll find some more this summer. I’m glad someone mentioned this site on iNaturalist, everyone has been very helpful and I’m starting to pick the terminology/customs.
Thanks @nathan-newell , that looks spot on (though I haven’t…[Read more] -

2 months ago2 months agoThat’s a cool site, thanks @matthew-gramling . I wasn’t quite up to the James bay shore, I was on the Mattagami river at yellow falls. It may have been better for me to to say river shoreline. I might be back this spring for work.

Horn coral
-
Greetings @sam-turner ! as @aiden-gore has said thi appears to be a horn coral and a good sized one at that. If it’s not a horn coral it could be another cnidarian like Favosites.
-
The geography of James Bay is pretty diverse, but it’s safe to safe this likely is from on of the Paleozoic formations.

This may help with the geochronology https://macrostrat.org/sift/#/column/1592

If you’re working the James Bay shore you have a lot of interesting strata to encounter. They’re is an initial late Ordovician formation near the mouth of Hannay Bay and as you move up the shore it progress to the Silurian and Devonian.

Yes

not very sure. l think it’s a bivalve/brachiopod.
-
If it’s a horn coral then it’s really distorted. I’m leaning towards an inner mold of a bivalve

Horn coral fragment

Greetings all, I agree with the horn coral ID. The geochronology seals it as well: Devonian and from the Dundee Formation.

Cool! Thanks for the help

This may be a mineral formation or an orthocone.
