Hey! you got a Pac-man fossil! I like that last one, any idea what it is? And I think I actually recognize one in the next to last picture. The one with the scallopy ridges. I think it's a "composita brachiopod," or something like that. (someone correct me if I'm wrong please). Yeah, I always tell myself, if I can't find flint, at least I can find some fossils.

It is an Archimedes sp. Its what the "fronds" of fenestrate bryozoans attached to. The "pac man" fossil appears to be a blastoid, but need a better pic to determine.
It appears as if you are collecting the Borden Fm.

"Borden FM" means the Borden Formation.
With a little knowledge of the local geological formations (and a geologic map) your fossil hunting can greatly improve. With a map you can target the better layers.
