I did a quick image search on Cyanthocarpus arborea (never heard of it before) and I'm certain you're right about that. Some of these also look like Pecopteris arborescens.Thank you for the help. I'll get some of these corrected, though if I ought to be posting individually, it'll take a while.

Cyathocarpus arborea is the revised name for Pecopteris arborescens.

15 is probably Neochonetes (strophomenid brachiopod) which is found within the Glenshaw

Yes, thanks! I find those little critters all over fossiliferous limestone.

Thought I'd add a few more.

Really lovely stuff you have there, the preservation is so nice on those plants! Thank you for sharing.

The randomly arranged scars are key. I think it’s part of some rooting structure but I don’t think there’s a consensus on exactly what it’s from.

Some more recent finds...

Hey man your teeth are definitely cool. The “cladodont” one and also what appears to be Deltodus are hella interesting. @cngodles and I are working with several researchers on what are likely contemporaneous units near you. We’d love to chat more. My best email is ngardner 'at' mail 'dot' wvu 'dot' edu.

I thought we could no longer put a clickable email on the forum !

 

@NickG this is the best way for your address to be picked up by the robots and that you are flooded with spam! Moreover, but what a bad idea to give his coordinates on a forum seen by thousands of people...

I'm OK with that since WVU's spam filter is pretty ridiculously burly against such threats. I am surprised though that it did turn it into a CLICKABLE email and I'll edit that if possible.

 

That said though, "What a bad idea to give his coordinates on a forum seen by thousands of people"... Elaborate. I didn't see anyone post exact locality information (other than Ambridge, which is an exceptionally well known site - and in the Jasper Burns book, the Hoskins book, etc.).

Amazing stuff. You obviously did your homework and followed through on finding locations.

Thanks. Now if only I would do my homework when purchasing fossils 🙃

Forgot to mention, I found another cladodont tooth in the same section as the other. Though it's only a cross-section.

Oh my god. Yeah I’ll make sure the others reply to the email you sent me. I’ve sent some fast thoughts back already.

I was talking about your email, it’s as if you give your postal address or your phone publicly to thousands of people (forum members, but especially many who are not members....).

I am a public employee and my email address is on my published papers, my LinkedIn profile and my work’s webpage. I’m not especially worried about someone having my email.

[Coco]

OK.
