I recently went to the Herkimer diamond mines. Although I did find a decent amount of "diamonds" as I was packing up I spotted this. It's a piece of dolostone with what looks like brachiopods on it. After doing a little research, it seems like the rocks in the mines are Cambrian in age with little record of fossils being found. Any help with figuring this out would definitely be appreciated.

Meeting Up With Fossildude19 in Buffalo- July 4th weekend
Jeffrey P posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I was barely recovered from the Brechin, Ontario trip the weekend before when I headed out to the Buffalo area, an annual pilgrimage July 4th weekend for the past four years. Usually the highlight of the weekend is the planned meet up with Tim (Fossildude19) to do a bit of fossil collecting together. Others often join us, but this year it was just the two of us. Weather was perfect and we hit our favorite spot; Smokes Creek, a Windom Shale, Moscow Formation, Middle Devonian Hamilton Group site. This is Tim doing what he enjoys most- breaking rocks:

Brechin, Ontario with Malcolm and the New York Paleontological Society
Jeffrey P posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
The weekend of June 24th and 25th I participated in an outing with the New York Paleontological Society led by my friend, Ray McKinney to Brechin, Ontario. TFF Member Malcolm led our group into the James Dick quarry where both Bobycaygeon and Verulam Formations are exposed. These are Middle Ordovician from the Trenton Group and contain a wide variety of invertebrate fossil fauna. Also met other TFF members Kevin (Northern Sharks) and Joe (crinus). Most of the quarry is the Bobycaygeon and the very top is the Verulam- only accessible near the entrance, but I got some excellent well preserved matrix plates from there. I spent the second day combing the spoil piles. This first picture is Lake Simco by Beaverton where we stayed. Malcolm in the middle, explaining the quarry geology to NY Paleontological Society members.

Two weeks ago I visited a very nice quarry near Gundelfingen (Danube) where you can find fossils from the white Jurassic ("Obere Felsenkalk"). From there you have a beautiful view and you can find nice fossils, for example sea urchins, brachiopods and crinoid stems. I was there about 4 hours and it took a time until I found my first sea urchin (fossil). They are rare there and you must have a healthy back and very good eyes ! Firstly some impressions of the quarry: In this topic I want to put my focus on the sea urchins but here are some brachiopods (Terebratula): Now the sea urchins; They are not that nice and often very shabby but I am happy to find those remains ! I think I have found more or less two types of echinoids: 1. Glypticus sulcatus: I have already find one on my first visit there: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/73558-my-newest-find/ They are mostly very small and its difficult to see them ! This time I found two: They are both about 1.5 cm long. Here is a detailed picture of the one on matrix: 2. Plegiocidaris I found only parts of those echinoids but I am nonetheless satisfied ! Here is the first one: It was quiete big but the fragment is 3.2 cm long. Another part:

Just got back from a weeklong trip to Southern Germany in pursuit of ammonites and other Jurassic marine fossil fauna. Accompanied by my fellow collector, Ralph and his friend, Aza we arrived at the Zurich airport and headed straight to Lake Constance and the home of TFF member Roger (Ludwigia) to observe his incredible collection and receive advice about collecting spots in southern Germany. Fortunately, I'm fluent in Canadian. This is Aza, Roger, and Ralph at Roger's home:

Brachiopods. -
Hi brachiopod lovers I wonder, is someone in this forum interested in exchanging fossils? Maybe this is an interesting proposal for you: I have devonian brachiopods from France, Belgium and Germany and some nice ones from the jurassic of Spain to offer. There are a few miscellaneous fossils too, for example neogene and devonian gastropods, shark teeth from Germany and cretaceous echinoids from Spain. I´m looking for devonian brachiopods, without any preferences. (But any other devonian fossils are welcome too). If you´re interested, just send me a PM. The attached pictures show only some examples, there are 56 pictures with 43 different brachiopod-taxa. I prepared a small google-album and i will give you the link ;-) Cheers, Nils

JefferyP and I went to a Paleocene site just over the boarder in to Ocean County N.J. for some invertebrate collecting. The Vertebrates are very very fragile and can brake apart very easily . So after much attempt..I decided to try to dig out a rather large chuck or block of matrix that had the most abundant amount of shells in it which was the more brownish sandy layer just above the sandy greenish with more glauconite then above,,,which made it much easyer because the layer below was rather harder. While digging I came to the conclusion that I wasn't going to get both sides or valves from the same individual and like I mentioned above I just pull out a few large blocks and took it home with me and see what I can find. Out of the first block I found a bunch brac's and placed the better ones aside and I decided to expose the shells still in the second block as best I can with doing the slightest amount of damage . So Far this is what its looking like. Jeff mention that this will be a good display piece and I totally agree with him.....So A display piece it will be.....Thanks Jeff ...Great Idea..

Hello everyone! I found this site because my son and I are constantly picking up rocks from our property with little fossils in them. Cool site...I look forward to chatting with you all!

it cI didnt post much here because i didnt had much time and the weather was simply too bad to hunt. But last week i managed to hunt in some nice quarries in Bavaria and found many fossils ! First I want to share my finds and pictures from the quarry Ludwag. There exist two quarries, I was in the old Ludwag 2. You can find fossils from the upper Jurassic period. This was my first visit there and i must say that i enjoyed it Not only because of the various finds also because of the beautiful landscape ... Some pictures of the quarry: I collected in the lower areas: My finds: Ammonites are very common there but today you can only find small ones ... I found many: A bigger one with 3.5 cm. This is one is well preserved and i think it could be a Orthosphinctes sp. (?). Another 2.5 cm long one: But i dont want to show only ammonites ! I also find other interesting fossils, for example this interesting oyster. Arctostrea sp.: (2cm)

Yesterday i was in the nice quarry Moldenberg near Heidenheim. There you can find many fossils from the White jurassic. I found some bivalves, different types of brachiopods and also some crinoid stems. But i will post the whole trip with more finds and also with pictures of the location later .... I just have a question regarding this strange thing: Its 0.75 cm long and about 0.3 cm thick. It has also a very strange structure like you can see on the photos .... maybe a part of a starfish ? I have never seen something else before .... hopefully someone can help me ! Some more pictures: Thanks for your help !

On the 26.12.2016 i was in the quarry Moldenberg near Heidenheim an der Brenz. There you can find fossils from the white jurassic. Besides of this highlight: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/70839-what-is-this/ I also found many brachiopods, bivalves, crinoid stems, bryozoans ... First some pictures of the quarry: Its was a very cold and dark day so shadefully they are not that nice... Now the "real" quarry: And the view on a part of the city Heidenheim:

Is there much known about epibionts growing on Brachiopods. As I think i may be discovering a few examples showing this . Would anyone else have any examples please.

Hey all, I haven't found my trilobite source yet, but I did find this neat hashplate. It comes from a creek in White Sulphur Springs, WV and is probably Devonian. I haven't seen shells this small before. I'm guessing they're brachiopods, but otherwise I have no idea what they might be. I couldn't get a clear picture with a scale included, but the largest shell is a little under 1/4". This photo is the closest I can get to the piece and still be in focus. Any ideas? Thanks

New project I'm working on prepping. I grabbed this plate from Penn Dixie earlier in the season, and it's just loaded with bits of all different things. I've taken it on as a long term projects to prep out this section as best as possible exposing as much as possible. I don't have an actual before photo, because I didn't think it was worth photographing until I started playing with it. I will keep updates as I go!
