Started out visiting 18 mile creek in Hamburg. Found quite a few braciopods. Shale was quite slippery and could not make it to the lake. Site is promising for dryer weather and waders. Headed over to Penn Dixie. The trilobite bed is covered with overburden as the site is not ready for the season. Picked through lots of weathered shale and found tons of horn coral , some partial phacops, lots of brachiopods, and a couple enrolled phacops. My wife took the day with her find. I think its a greenops, but not 100 % sure. Whole greenops are rare at this site. Will start prepping and photographing specimens during the week.

possible greenops

Based on it being Penn Dixie looks to be a greenops from the pygidium
