New Members Kabakap Posted November 9, 2021 New Members Share Posted November 9, 2021 Hello! I was here a few years ago asking for ID, and I'm back again. I scour the Humber river in Toronto for water insects and rocks, usually, and I found what I think are some fossils! If anyone can help me identify them, I'd be very grateful. I have some pictures below. The 'fossil', if it is a fossil, is just slightly under a centimeter across. (As a bit of an aside, I'm an avid fan of rocks but I can't usually figure out what they are, other than nice to look at. Is this an appropriate place for potentially IDing those, as well? Or should I find a rock forum in particular?) 1. This is the only one I think I know! I'm assuming those are crinoid bits in there. The rock itself is a little over two inches across. This is the front, And this is the back. 2. All I know is this seems shellish. Front and back, below. About an inch, maybe a little more. 3. This one seems similar to the one above, but I've got an eye for bugs, not for fossils. An inch across, if not a little more. 4. No idea where to start with this. The upper left corner is what caught my eye. The macro shot is a bit blurry. My apologies! The 'fossil', if it is one, is about a centimeter wide, slightly less.

I hope to find more trilobite pieces at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking either Rafinesquina or Strophomena, I'm just a beginner. I'm curious, maybe @Tidgy's Dad will know? One fossil a day will keep you happy all day.

Tidgy's Dad Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 There are several possible suspects. Not enough of them left to be certain. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
