Reposted by @scottblooded.bsky.socialCam Muskelly (Explorer of Deep Time ⏰ ⚒️) @cambriancam.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Welcome back to #FossilFriday! Here is a Petoskey Stone which is Michigan's state stone. It is a colonial rugose coral known as Hexagonaria percarinata. This comes from the Middle Devonian (Givitian) Gravel Point Formation (Traverse Group). Each corallite that you see would have housed a polyp. 511932222
Reposted by @scottblooded.bsky.socialDavid Clark @clarkeocrinus.bsky.social · 05/12/2025This is a rare crinoid from the Devonian Silica Shale of Sylvania, Ohio. Gennaeocrinus chilmanae is named after Ruth Chilman, who was one of the founding members of the Friends of the UMMP. She was also co-author of the FUMMP Silica book. I wish I had met her. #FossilFriday 532234
Reposted by @scottblooded.bsky.socialDavid Clark @clarkeocrinus.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Brachiopods may look like clams, but have a different axis of symmetry and very different internal structures called lophophores. There are still brachiopods alive today, but they are rare. This Paraspirifer bownockeri is from the Devonian Silica Shale of Sylvania, Ohio. #FossilFriday 1256675
scottblooded.bsky.social @scottblooded.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Excited to find my first eurypterid (that I can talk about) for #FossilFriday. Silurian, can’t pin down the formation, but supposed to be Hughmilleria sp. Head on the left, tail on the right but there’s a blob of stuff in the bottom left/center I can’t make out. Any #eurypterid folks know? 011
Reposted by @scottblooded.bsky.socialJames Lamsdell, PhD @fossildetective.bsky.social · 05/12/2025One of the earliest large predatory eurypterids, Megalograptus, for #FossilFriday. Megalograptus is known from abundant - and very unusual - material from the Ordovician of #Ohio, affording an important insight into the morphology of this rather bizarre species. ⚒️🧪 25514

scottblooded.bsky.social @scottblooded.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Late #FossilFriday came across the last pics I got to take of the holotype of Needmorella simoni before sending it off forever. It’s now more traveled than I am as it’s been to Australia and back to the US where it’s now chilling in the Smithsonian, something I wish I could say for myself 071

scottblooded.bsky.social @scottblooded.bsky.social · 23/03/2025It’s late for a #FossilFriday and it’s been a while for me on here but I found this Devonian crinoid in a quarry with fossil friend Max the other week and was feeling pretty happy with it. When I spotted it only what you see to the right of the vertical crack was showing, very mud covered. 2255

scottblooded.bsky.social @scottblooded.bsky.social · 01/01/2025Missed the last #FossilFriday and #TrilobiteTuesday of the year but I’m using the first day of the new year to wish cast. Found this butt a couple years ago now in a place I always dig. It’s an undescribed odontopleurid. I’ve never found another piece. I WILL find more this year. 052

scottblooded.bsky.social @scottblooded.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Alright one of these four partial mid Devonian trilobite thoraxes is not a Viaphacops. It’s a Needmorella simoni and if you’re a real fossil sicko like myself you’ll be able to spot it. Take a guess, sicko. Happy fossil Friday 110

scottblooded.bsky.social @scottblooded.bsky.social · 07/12/2024This belated fossil Friday I get to show off, after 4 years of searching, an intact Needmorella eye.

scottblooded.bsky.social @scottblooded.bsky.social · 03/12/2024It’s trilobite Tuesday and this things pretty tiny, but pretty complete as well. Viaphacops from the Needmore of WV, mid Devonian 0111

scottblooded.bsky.social @scottblooded.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Ok here’s most of a mid Devonian Kettneraspis from WV with typical length spines. Here also is a partial cephalon from ostensibly another Kettneraspis but look at that genal spine (seriously, zoom in on it). Waaay longer than it ought to be. A mystery. Happy fossil Friday 070
scottblooded.bsky.social @scottblooded.bsky.social · 26/11/2024It’s trilobite Tuesday so I guess I’ll start trying to use this absolutely garbage platform (because holy shit with how bad twitter is getting). Here’s a Viaphacops! He’s mid Devonian, from the Needmore of WV 040
scottblooded.bsky.social @scottblooded.bsky.social · 26/08/2023It’s #FossilFriday and I’ve got this partial brachiopod to show you because it popped out of a rock just like this and even though it’s just a partial, it’s very large for what I usually find and hasn’t seen sunlight since the mid Devonian.

Lucky split, both interior and exterior mold. The trite “you’re the first person to see it” thing really is true, even something this small is a thrill.

scottblooded.bsky.social @scottblooded.bsky.social · 14/07/2023Found a pretty clean Needmorella simoni for #FossilFriday. Missing at least 1 genal spine. Also at least 1 eye is folded like a taco shell and I’m guessing the other will be too, they always are. Eye structure must have just been very delicate/thin. 020
