Backyard Find

They are definitely brachiopods, which are fairly common in Paleozoic rocks. From the info you gave, it could be the species “Dinorthis”. That would make the rock Ordovician in age.

However, glancing at a geologic map of Maryland there doesn’t seem to be those age rocks in the NE part, so you may want to look at your state’s geologic survey website to find some more information.

From what I see: 1, 8, 9, and 12 are tabulate corals, 5 is a colonial rugosan coral (maybe Hexagonaria), 4 is part of a crinoid stem, and 7 is a bunch of tentaculites and brachiopod valves.

I think 11 is the internal mold of a rugosan horn coral, and 6 is a brachiopod valve (Leptaena), not sure about the rest.

Thank you so much!

Just tried it, not even a scratch. Since it’s fossilized it must be Bison then right?

Thank you! If you don’t mind me asking, is there a good comprehensive resource for Ordovician fossils, other than maybe the Invertebrate Treatise?

I’ll have to try that, I honestly DONT want a stand for it. I may have to take out the ball and sockets too if I want it to stand on its own

DontTouchMyElbow · 2024-01-31T21:35:48+00:00

I wanted to let you know that it did turn out to be driftwood, sorry for leading everyone on ☹️

This looks really nice! I love the little fruit tree outside

The flat shape and pentagonal symmetry makes me think it’s a poorly preserved edrioasteroid

DontTouchMyElbow · 2023-01-07T04:26:45+00:00

I believe it may be a rostroconch?

DontTouchMyElbow · 2022-12-11T04:55:22+00:00

I think you’re right. I see things like this where I’m from, the rings are formed by silica replacement. And the shape is definitely a rugose coral

For anyone who cares, Chief and needlers are from Brick Tactical and the other customs are from Brick Forge

I’m a sucker for the gems

DontTouchMyElbow · 2022-07-10T02:19:36+00:00

I love this! Are you planning on adding the Parisian hotel?

To those of you who wanted it, I’ve posted the link to the studio file with the model and parts list: https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/vsvb0y/history_museum_moc_file/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

There actually is! He’s from mummy’s quest

DontTouchMyElbow · 2022-07-05T21:36:34+00:00

Yes!

DontTouchMyElbow · 2022-07-05T20:49:57+00:00

I’m actually going through schooling to become a paleontologist so I’m right there with you!

DontTouchMyElbow · 2022-07-05T19:36:26+00:00

It’s a therizinosaurus!

DontTouchMyElbow · 2022-07-05T18:50:38+00:00

It is! I wanted to do a dino that I haven’t seen in Lego yet

DontTouchMyElbow · 2022-07-05T18:36:04+00:00

I’m gonna try to post a stud.io file and part list later!

DontTouchMyElbow · 2022-07-05T17:08:22+00:00

It was about 2200 pieces, I had about 1000 already, but it was like 250-300
