My cousin screened through a lot of micro material I brought back from Alpena Michigan USA in October 2021. It was found in the Potter Farm Formation and dates to Middle Devonian Period (Erian Age).
The brachiopod fossil in boxes 110 & 117, 76-77, and another in 109 appear to be a Strophondonta crassa (Imbrie,
1959).
Rectangles 107, 108, and 115 appear to be Aulopora coral fossils with some that had grown on a branching bryozoan.
Cornulites appear to be in boxes 60 and 61.
A blastoid in cells 62, 63 & 66 could be Heteroschisma subtruncatum.
Cell 22 is a fish tooth fossil.
Fossil in rectangle 69 is some sort of bone fossil.

63 is a bryozoan holdfast
1-10 and 20 are astraeospongium. Sponge spicules which are normally silurian. Maybe washed out from upstream?
The sponge was Ensiferites according to stumms list from potter farm location in the family of the above listed name. Thanks fossil forum.
