Short Exploratory Trip

It was the first day where the weather was decent enough to do some fossil hunting.I had a little over an hour after work. Off to my reliable site Penn Dixie in Hamburg NY. It was an hour long exploratory trip. I found a great deal of shell bed material from the Wanakah shale, I am a sucker for Brachiopods and horn coral, so I scooped up a bunch to play with later.

Lots of nice specimens in this material. After I start prepping I will post pics from this pile.

I picked up some partial trilobites that weathered out of the Windom shale.
