15 years ago whilst hand drilling an 8 inch hole for fence post this rock was partially obstructing about 1.5 feet down. I hand dug the rock out and threw it aside. lol

[Note: This resembles a crinoid fossil, but maybe a fossil collector can help us get a better identification for Bernard O. Please leave a response if you have a suggestion!
I found this in a creek bed in Southern Ohio, I am curious as to what it is.

[Editor's Note: We are not certain about this one. It may or may not be a fossil, but it does remind us of the internal structure of an ammonite shell. Any ideas Ohio fossil collectors? Please leave a response.]
I was walking in soybean field looking for arrowheads yesterday and found these at the end of a washed out gully or ditch going at a uphill slant. Coral, Brachiopod and sponge I think. Lots of sand also where the water had come out of the gully. These fossils were all close to each other. The sponge or piece with holes is very pretty on the other side with tiny crystals in the formations. Not sure of all names I've stated. Walking up the gully there were larger layers and large rocks with about 3 feet of dirt above them on each side of me as I walked. Each year the gully gets deeper with the rains and the depth is past my waist when I'm walking in it. More rocks are showing up in the bottom of it than were there last year. Although when you drive down State Road 1 it just looks like a dirt soybean field. Now I know there's lot of rock under it with fossils.
