It's 8:30am, below freezing, and cloudy - the perfect time to hike up a mountain to collect fossils! A rock-hounding buddy of mine recently stumbled upon a hash layer on one of the hikes we've done in Montana, and kindly offered to show me. Unfortunately the layer wasn't at the beginning of the trail, rather the end, so we had to climb 1,900 ft (6 statue of liberty's) and millions of years in geology to get to it - nature is rarely conducive to human ambition. After the short (2.5 mile) but steep hike, we made it to rock slides where the layer was being eroded and immediately began spotting plates of brachiopod hash - I can't believe I missed them before! Based on the geologic map of the area, I suspect these are Late Devonian-Early Mississippian in age. Wacking my geologic pick into the hill to carefully climb the steep slopes of the rockfalls, I began spotting some nice specimens. They were preserved in a pretty powder blue, and easy to spot against the dark matrix of the ancient sea floor. Unfortunately a lot of them appeared smashed in their tumbling down the hill. I loaded up my backpack with probably 40-50 lbs of rock, which in hindsight was not the best decision I've ever made. Here are some of the more interesting pieces (I don't know them any more precisely than "brachiopod", feel free to chime in brach fans): I was especially hoping to find a winged brach - I didn't find a nice one - but my friend generously gifted me one he found minutes after I mentioned hoping to find one. Hope you enjoyed! I'll be headed back to Texas where I have more trips in mind...

Devonian Brachiopod Plate
Lucid_Bot posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello. Please let me know if you think this specimen is genuine. It supposedly comes from the Kowala Formation of the Holy Cross Mountains of Poland. It is Devonian. and the entire plate measures 16.51 by 13.72 cm. Thanks for the help.

Would love help from middle Devonian shells. I know spiriferids are hard to ID but worth a shot asking experts!
-
Each square is one centimeter. What is this mould of? Thank you!

Hit a new spot for a very short period today after work and grabbed these. Found 3 good sized flexicalymene but damaged, two appear to have been smashed before fossilization. Also found some good sized isotelus sections that I left and will inspect when I get back there to see if they are worthe keeping, along with alot of flexi partials that I left. Could have collected 100s of matrix free brachiopods... they are everywhere. if any of you guys need any for your collection let me know. Maybe we could do some type of trade or something.

I went to Estabrook two days ago just because I was in the area. I've hit this area multiple times before. Despite its low fossil yield I think it's an excellent place to start for any new fossil hunters getting into the hobby. The sole outcrop to be found here lies under the bridge overlooking the river rapids. It extends for roughly 30-45 feet. There are soils in the area that occasionally produce small bits of brachiopod and crinoid stem fragments as well. However I mostly keep to the main rock outcrop. Your most common finds within the park are tons of brachiopod fragments. If you're lucky, you'll find a complete one. I also frequently find dissarticulated crinoid stem fragments and ossicles, most are so small I usually dont collect them. The third and final fossil I've encountered were small (usually) bluish gray bryozoans. They can be found alone or mixed into hashplates with crinoids and brachiopods. I've heard of people finding trilobites such as Eldregeops and some unidentified taxa. I haven't collected any of these yet, however any newcomer could. One person I correspond with at my university claims to have found Placoderm remains from Eastmanosteus, but I have no evidence for that claim. Regardless the easy to access location and ammentities from the park make this spot excellent for people who have young children. Just be wise with your collecting, and stick to non hammer collecting, as the authorities frown upon that within the park.

I've been sorting out my old collection and came across this, a slab of Lingulella davisii (M'Coy) from North Wales, near Porthmadog. It's from the Ffestiniog Formation, near the top of the Cambrian. I'm sure there's lots of it around but there don't seem to be many pics when I search, apart from in this paper: https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/1306865.pdf
