It's not everyday I get to find fossils that are over 360 Million Years Old! Down where I live in Florida, about the oldest we get is 50 Million. Which is still insanely old, but geologically speaking it's very young! I've never searched for these types of fossils before, and it was absolutely a pleasure to get out for something new! We found tons of Crinoid pieces, Brachiopods, Corals, and all sorts of stuff from the Devonian Period which was a period of time from around 358 - 419 Million Years Ago! I'll have links here in the description providing more information about the fossil remains we found in this video!

At 17:07, because of context with the other reef building organisms, I believe it is a stromatoporoid. The stromatoporoid is an extinct reef building sponge that lived from the Ordovician-Devonian. Stromatoporoid is not the same thing as a stromatolite as some have suggested. Enjoyed the video.

Between the corals, crinoids, bryozoan and of course the brachiopods, it was great to watch !

Stopped on top and was looking around at rocks and saw this big plate. The reason i picked it up is because it has a small welk on top and i recognized it. Telling my friends...this stuff in this rock comes from the ocean. They just laughed. I brought it home and its been with me ever since. Thanks for sharing, now i know what i have.

I would assume those broad, layered fossils that look like plates are stromatolites. I'm actually surprised you didn't run into any Orthoceras or Goniatite fossils, given the age of those rocks. Fun lil factoid- Rugose/Horn corals are what we call 'solitary" corals; they're not reef builders, but may live in colonies.

For the first location the brachiopods look like Atrypa reticularis and some Spiriferids, the second is Mucrospirifer mucronatus as you pointed out as well as some strophomenids, the funky coral looks like Aulopora sp. Most of the quarry brachiopods were rhynchonellids but I think I also saw a chonetid. Could the banded structures you saw be stromatolites?
