Rockwood Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 The top one is a brachiopod. The second one looks more like a straight shelled nautiloid. The bottom one needs to be carefully exposed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 First looks like possibly a productid brachiopod, maybe similar to Linoproductus. Second item resembles an Orthocone cephalopod, but I am not positive about that. Some sort of shell material, at least. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Anomotodon Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I also think the brachiopod is Linoproductus but I’m not very experienced with them. Where in WI did you find these? Both the brachiopod and its matrix seem to be very similar to the Pennsylvanian La Salle member of the Bond formation, which occurs in northern IL, but to my knowledge no Pennsylvanian deposits are known in Wisconsin.

The OP says they found it in their yard, which means it could be imported landscaping rock not from WI. 1 -Jay “The earth doesn't need new continents, but new men.” ― Jules Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
