Platyceras dumosum
Here is another picture of gastropod specimen posted earlier. It is from a different vantage point. My cousin found it in the Jeffersonville Limestone of Clark County, Indiana USA and has been slowly extracting it with a sand blaster.

Favosites epidermata Coral
Here is a Devonian coral found at a display in the Louisville Science Center located in Louisville, Kentucky. It is nice they have some of this coral because the Falls of the Ohio State Park located across the Ohio River has a lot of it.
The display identified this as Favosites (Emmonsia) epidermata.
