While peeling rocks back yesterday to uncover fossils, I came up with a handful of loose fossils that I’d like to share with you!
Here’s the top side of the next one:
And underneath:
I would love to know what these things with wings are. There sure are enough of them!
There were two fossils that were together but they fell apart when I peeled them back. Here’s the top one:
And the one underneath:
These are like some of the fossils I found all of the time when I was a kid. I think they’re so cool. Unfortunately, my coolest digging spot is covered over with poison ivy now!
I don’t find very many fossils where I live now. How about you, are there fossils where you live, and if so, what kind of fossils do you find?

I don’t think I’ve ever found a fossil. I should do that one day.
So cool Pam. I don’t think I am ever that aware of all the potential fossils around me… I should look a bit closer. :c)
Fossils? I’m a fossil. Feel like one…
Cool photos. I’ll need to look for fossils that resemble me. Should I back out of this comment? Naaaa.
Barbara – Please let me know if you find some!
Jayne – I’d like to see any you find!
Mary – LOL!! You are so not a fossil!
Mary is so funny! If she wants to find an old fossil – she should come on up to Toledo. I’m here, most days :0D
Pam – I hope you can get an ID on those very cool fossils. Wings! Wow. I never found anything with wings.
Like I said – there are trilobites close by. Just can’t get at ’em :0(
I’m no fossil expert, though I’m a biolog, and I believe those wings are some kind of clam-shells!?
keep looking, I would like to search for fossils to I suppose you can find areas with potential fossil findings looking at geological maps, if you know what to look for sandstone or something!?

Those “winged” fossils are brachiopods. Do a google image search for brachiopods and you’ll see more types of “winged fossils than you can imagine.

If I am not mistaken, those fossils with “Wings” are brachiopods, a type of mollusk — check it out.
