Oxinpes Foraminifera Fossil

Images taken from microscope of the foraminiferan fossil. This fossil was identified as an Oxinpes. It was found in the Beechwood Limestone just below the New Albany Shale. That layer dates to the Devonian Period. The locality was Clark County Indiana USA. This was a picture I took over 10 years ago from one of Dr. Conkins microscope slides. It was never used in publication and was a demonstration on how to use Adobe Photoshop to stack the microscope images, add the scale, and print directly to make a copy ready page for printing.

Inauris tubulata Foraminifera Fossil

 

Images taken from microscope of the monotypic agglutinate foraminiferan fossil. This fossil has been identified as an Inauris tubulata (Conkin, Conkin & Thurman, 1979). It was found in the Jeffersonville Limestone that dates to Devonian Period. The locality was the Gilmore Quarry, Utica Indiana USA. This was a picture I took over 10 years ago from one of Dr. Conkins microscope slides. It was never used in publication I far as I can recall.

Possible Fish Scale Fossil - Devonian Period

Pictured in this posting is a mystery fossil found in the New Albany Shale (Late Devonian Period). It was uncovered by splitting a nodule of shale. Size of fossil is  about 4 mm wide. Specimen was collected in Floyd County, Indiana, USA. It might be some sort of fish scale. I need to get some better microscope pictures of this fossil. The specimen somewhat resembles a Rhabdoderma scale (see the discussion at this link Mazon Creek Coelacanth scale).
