Fossil Trip 11/2021 West VA Silurian ( Rose Hill Formation)
Rexofspades posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi everyone, went on a nice little expedition into West VA over thanksgiving break. tried my hand on checking out the rose hill formation in Waiteville. lovely time out with some beautiful scenery and farms. The sandstone was sparse fossil wise, but I did find three pieces with some interesting stuff to ponder. here are each of the three rocks, labeled Specimens A-C Specimen A looks like it has some simple fossil impression. on first inspection there's some nice Ostracods and a couple brachiopod impressions in the middle. but on closer inspection on the edges I noticed t -
I found this odder little brachiopod on my last outing a few days back. I didn't examine it until I got home later that day, and realized then it wasn't one of the more dominant species in the formation. It has qualities that match well with Phricodothyris. It would be a nice new species to my collection, but I am not completely certain. What do you think?

Found at the famous Caesar Creek spillway, which exposes the Liberty and Whitewater formations. Thinking Grewingkia canadensis for the horn coral. The brachiopod is not a spiriferid, and is too round for Vinlandostrophia. Four ridges (pictured) suggest Lepidocyclus perlamellosa/Hiscobeccus capax for the calcified brachiopod. And ideas what the circled encrusting bryozoan may be (circled red)? It is not patterned like Escharopora falsiformis--the zooids cells have no pattern, more like Aspidopora sp. Feel free to contest my identification; I am al

ID requested: Spiriferid Brachiopods from Eifel region in Germany (Devonian)
ziggycardon posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi everyone, I recently purchased a collection from a retired fossil collector. Including in this collection was a box with Brachiopods from the Eifel region. Unfortunately it is harder than expected to ID them all. So here is the first batch of photo's of Brachiopods which I all believe to be Spiriferid. 1) A couple of small Spiriferid brachiopiods which seem to be from the same species: After some google searching and comparisons my best bet is "Hysterolites hystericus" 2) A larger well preserved Spiriferid -
Hello everyone, I recently purchased this plate of brachiopods and bryozoa from the Waldron Shale in Indiana. I received a label with it but to me, the IDs on there do not seem right, so I wanted to ask here for your opinions. Here is the whole piece: I'll start with the ones I think I have identified. First, the brachiopod on the left in these photos: I think this is a Dictyonella reticularia due to the overall shape and the surface ornamentation which looks close to the specimens I have seen in my research. This was the only species listed in a list of fauna I foun

I came across a beautiful fossilized hash plate, which is extremely delicate as it measures less than a centimeter in thickness, do you have any recommendations to make it stronger?. Additionally, I am curious to know if it is possible to enhance the appearance of the fossils by applying a coating of some sort. When wet, the plate is very attractive, but it looks dull and lacks variation in color when dry.

Yesterday I received a 30 pound box of various shell, marine fossils, and some other miscellaneous fossils and a few extant bits as well. I will post in the ID section some as not everything has a label. It is a large overwhelming amount to sort through so this will be a bit at a time kind of thread. Please let me know if anything of the id tags are using outdated names or incorrect, etc. First an overall picture the seller had of the lot.

Found in creek bed in Northern St. Charles County, Missouri. It's interesting... don't think it's just a rock. Maybe just an impression (or whatever it's called, can't remember proper term), or if it's one or more things. Help with ID would be very much appreciated! Also, please let me know if photo quality is not sufficient or if anyone has any suggestions for future post.

looking for articles and websites on Brachiopods from Eifel (Germany)
ziggycardon posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hi everyone! Yesterday I bought a collection of fossils from a retired fossil hunter, included in the lot was a box full of devonian Brachiopods from the Eifel region (mainly Gerolstein) in Germany. I find Brachiopods very interesting and I am getting better at ID'ing them, but there are quite a few species I've never really seen before and my usual ID website of Paleontica doesn't seem to have most in their database. So I was hoping if anyone here has some handy articles, papers or websites which might help with my quest on ID'ing these critters. PS. I was also plannin- 8 replies

Checking off Pennsylvanian Bucket List Finds at Lake Jacksboro
GPayton posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
As promised, my second trip report covering my day trip last October to the two most famous Pennsylvanian-aged fossil locales in Texas is here! That same Saturday after visiting Mineral Wells and finally finding my first trilobites I made the hour drive north to Lake Jacksboro. For those who don't know, the Lost Creek Dam on the southeastern side of Lake Jacksboro was constructed from earth dug out of a borrow pit a short walk away. As the lake and its dam happen to sit on top of the Finis Shale Member of the Graham Formation (although there is debate that , which dates back to th- 9 replies

Every time I begin a new trip report here on the forum I feel like I need to apologize for how long it's been since my last one. Because although I haven't written anything up since October, I've actually been on more fossil hunting trips in the last few months than in the entirety of last year. This is mostly the result of finally getting a car again back in August after spending the back half of 2021 and almost all of 2022 without one. In fact, I've made so many trips I haven't actually given myself enough time to write up a report about the last one I've undertaken before I'm b

Fishing for fossils might sound like a strange hobby, but I've discovered that it's the perfect combination of relaxation and excitement. Instead of reeling in fish, I'm reeling in ancient fossils from the Richelieu river. And while I might not have any fish tales to tell, I do have some great stories about my fossil-hunting adventures. It might not be the most conventional hobby, but it's certainly a fun one. And the best part? No fishing license required! The Lorraine Group is known for its abundance of fossils, which provides valuable information about the region's past environ

Some of my favorite neospirifer specimens I found yesterday in Oglesby, IL! They’re nothing too crazy but I think they’re pretty cool regardless. Just felt like sharing.

Over the last 10 days I have made three trips to an outcrop in NY that exposes some Silurian material. After doing some research on the stratigraphic beds that occur in this unit I decided to head out and give it a shot. As soon as I showed up on the first day I found a negative of a complete Dalmanites sp. trilobite on a large boulder that someone decided to leave behind. I did not see any more than partials and brachiopods for the rest of the first day. I had much more success on the second and third day. Plenty more not pictured such as corals, brachiopods, and trilobite partials. Spent som
