Thanks, this video was helpful to me. I found a rock slab, in Springboro Ohio, with many elliptical indentations. I did not know what it was but I thought it was some kind of trace fossil. The slab I found is very similar to the slab you show at the end of this video except that the indentations are primarily elliptical. Now I know these are the marks of peticals from brachiopods.

Yes we found a thick pinkish coloured layer FULL of brachiopods. They were jumbled in a thick layer about 18" thick. They were heavily calcified (if that is the correct term). There were horned coral at the same site, which was a rock slide, but the horned coral was not found in the same rock as the brachiopods.
At a different site we found some beautiful ferns and various other leaves. We're heading back to the leaf site in three weeks.

there are a few river beds here that are very productive. both near my home, north of dayton. horn corals were common things for children in this area to have. at one point i must have had about 30 or more.

I found some horned coral at one site on my fossil hunting weekend. These corals lived during the Ordovician?
At another site we found several different types of leaves and ferns. Devonian?

The horn corals indeed lived during the Ordovician ,Sillurian and Devonian (I don't know when they went extinct).Find brachiopods too ?
