saysac Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Can someone help ID this Ohio Devonian fossil please? Lots of coral in the area. Found brachiopods, crinoid pieces, horn coral and cephalopod on my last visit. This is an odd one. Almost a bone like look to it, but obviously could be completely wrong on that. Some quartz crystals in the 2 tips. Sherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Welcome back, Saysac! Good to see you here again. This to me looks like the "beak" area of a brachiopod valve. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

saysac Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 Thank you for the warm welcome back! I also looked at brachiopod, but could not find an example that showed the 2 “lines” with the chambers that made sense. The area has some really amazing fossils. 1 Sherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saysac Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 Thank you so much, and looks like my mystery has been solved! I have missed interacting with fellow fossil hunters with being off of Facebook and the fossil groups there. 1 Sherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 It looks very much like a pentamerid brachiopod. However they are mainly Silurian. Are you certain your specimen is Devonian? Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saysac Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 I checked and it looks like lower Devonian in age. Sherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
