An egg shaped fossil. We cracked them open to see what was inside. Sometimes you can find fossilized stuff other time is ends up just being fossilized poop. Yup, poop! *grin*

CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA May 10, 2017, University of Cape Town (UCT) students from Fossil Free UCT collect signatures for a petition calling for the University to step up real actions since the Convocation overwhelmingly passed a non-binding motion in March 2017.
FF UCT urges the university to move to full disclosure, in accord with the draft recommendations of its own Ethical Investment Task Team.

Today’s specimen (UC 8704) is an extinct lobster called Eryon arctiformis. It lived about 150 million years ago in the shallow seas that covered Bavaria, Germany during the Jurassic Period. The ventral or underside of the fossil is exposed allowing us to see the legs and the base of the antennae.
The fossil is from the Solnhofen Limestone (called the Plattenkalk in German). This rock has been quarried for hundreds of years and used as building stone and for lithographic printmaking. The fine grain nature of this limestone makes it ideal for lithographic printing also allows it to preserve extremely fine details in the fossils. The Solnhofen Limestone is famous for preserving feathers on the oldest known bird, Archaeopteryx, but over 750 fossil species have been described from the Solnhofen Limestone including pterosaurs, dragonflies, and jellyfish.

Phalangiotarbid arachnid from the Upper Carboniferous (Westphalian A) of Westhoughton, near Wigan, Lancashire, England, UK. This fossil was collected from the roof shales of the Wigan Four Foot coal. The species name 'peteri' was given in recognition of Carl Horrock's father, Peter Horrocks' tireless efforts collecting in the field. Never before have empty paint tins and buckets been so filled with Carboniferous nodules for processing at home!
"The fossils represent an extinct type of plant known as lycopods or scale trees - so called because of the scale-like markings left on the trunk and branches when the leaves fell off. Scale trees grew to a height of 45 metres (taller than the trees outside) with a straight trunk and crown of branches. Inside, the trunks were not hard and woody but filled with a soft pith.
The closest living relatives of these giants are small plants known as clubmosses. These primitive scale trees are not related to the trees of today such as oak, elm or pine."

Begg's Park, in Essex, New York is a grassy overlook with a view of Lake Champlain and the distant shore of Vermont and the Green Mountains. If you go down onto the rocky beach, you can sometimes see fossils in the rocks.

Some "random" marine invertebrate Ordovician and Devonian fossils from Upstate NY, that I collected long ago when I was an undergraduate geology major at Adirondack Community College (now SUNY Adirondack) going on amazing field trips with Professor Anson S. Piper, a true "one of a kind" geologist (and Revolutionary War re-enactor), all over NY State. These aren't particularly noteworthy, but more like good examples of the types of abundant invertebrate fossils that you might find in western and central NY. I am trying to identify some of these, as the location data are well gone (except for one of the rocks). I'll add my thoughts and I welcome corrections and other ideas greatly. - OK, this one I know from whence it came: a piece of Middle Ordovician limestone of the Trenton Group at Trenton Falls, near Barneveld, Oneida County, NY. Collected on a (what turned out to be) a "Guerrilla Overnight Camp Out" at the Falls (then Niagara-Mohawk Power Corp. property), in late spring 1974. So, at the top is an Middle Ordovician crinoid (echinoderm) with the columnal stalk, and, I think, some of the arms of the crown. Left center, there is a tail or pygidia of a trilobite (primitive arthropod), possibly the genus Flexicalymene. There are also stalked bryozoan fragments here, an encrusting bryozoan, Prasopora (pper right), along with disarticulated crinoid columnals, and a few brachiopods. This rock is a real "fossil hash."
Fossil hunting along I-64 in West Virginia. The locality includes many plant fossils and some marine fossils. The latter included a few crinoid ossicles with a small pointy tooth.

Fossil specimen (not including matrix) approx. 3-1/2 inches.
CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, May 10 2017. University of Cape Town (UCT) students from Fossil Free UCT collect signatures for a petition calling for the University to divest from fossil fuels and become the first university in South Africa to
adopt this resolution.
