More Fossils from Australia

Here are some more pictures of fossils from southeastern Australia. A visitor to this site named Bill sent them to me. If I had to guess, this first one is some sort of straight shelled cephalopod.


This second fossil looks like some sort of brachiopod.

This last fossil could be a cephalopod with is chamber segments but I am not sure.

Fossil Plants from Pennsylvania

My friend Shamalama (username on The Fossil Forum website) sent me some pictures of recent finds from St. Clair, Pennsylvania. These plants grew in the Late Carboniferous or Pennsylvanian Period and can be found in the Llewellyn Formation.

St. Clair is famous for the white appearance of their plant fossils which caused by aluminum silicate or pyrophyllite. This first fossil is Alethopteris.


This second fossil is a Asterophyllites. It could be of the species Asterophyllites charaeformis.

This next fossil is a Sphenophyllum.


This last fossil plant is unidentified.

Australian Brachiopods & Clams

Here are some pictures sent to me by Bill in Australia. Here are some unidentified brachiopods and clams in mudstone or shale. They have a nice brownish-red color.

These fossils were found in southeastern Australia. They might be Ordovician Period.

It is always good to see fossils from different regions of the world.
