Not sure about the time period on this rock. It looks like it was dug up for a basement on a lot so the rock was maybe 10-15 feet down. In a near by area, I found a Silurian trilobite but this rock does not look the same.

Fossil Rock
I was cycling yesterday and came upon a pile of rocks from construction in a nearby subdivision. Some rocks contained crinoid pieces and this one has some crinoid stem pieces, part of a brachiopod, and in the middle it looks like a small star shape but I don't think starfish fossilize.

Sandblasted Platyceras dumosum
Here is a spiny snail my cousin found at a road cut in Clark County, Indiana. I believe he spent about 20 hours sand blasting it to get the spines to show up.
It appears to be a Platyceras dumosum from the Devonian time period.

Trilobite Head
Here is another fossil rock I saw at the KYANA fossil study. I did not ask the owner about it but it might be from the Sellersburg quarry and from Silurian rock. Could be a Calymene trilobite or Flexicalymene trilobite from Ordovician rock from Taylorsville Lake Road.
Either way it is a trilobite head
