I traveled to check out the very first outcrop that I collected at a young age. The Nancy Member of the Borden Formation, lower Mississippian in age adjacent to Cave Run lake in Rowan County, KY. These are VERY large outcrops that when I was younger I climbed around like a mountain goat. Now I just look in the float. As typical of other trips I found abundant straight nautiloids (Michelinoceras). A few coiled nautiloids, two nice brachiopods and two nice gastropods including a rare left coiled gastropod (Only the third one I have ever found.)

Tim (sTamprockcoin) and I went to Deep Springs Road Quarry just west of Hamilton, NY in Madison Co. This was on Monday. I didn't have very high expectations. It was Tim's first time there, but I've been going there foir the past three years, over a dozen times. I've lost count. It is the eastern most exposure of the Windom Shale (Moscow Formation) Middle Devonian Hamilton Group. I especially like it because of the abundant well preserved fossils and biodiversity. Most of my collection of Middle Devonian fossils from Central New York are from there. I've introduced a number of Forum members to the site and I was confident that Tim would love it, but I had doubts I would find much that was noteworthy. My last time there- the planned Forum meet up on May 15th I didn't do so great. Also, I had just gotten back from a spectacular trip to Buffalo and a very productive outing in Morrisville. I figured I was overdue for a letdown. In addition, the weather report wasn't good- predicting showers and thunderstorms. The possibility of getting completely rained out was a possibility. That plus, I was coming from four and a half hours away, an hour more than my usual trip. I figured I'd be tired and not my best. We met at the Dunkin Donuts in Hamilton and Tim followed me out to the site. To my surprise, the couple who were previously camped at the quarry had vacated. That immediately improved the parking situation, but more importantly, it opened up another section of the quarry the Forum members weren't able to explore the last time. That's where I spent my efforts. Within a few minutes I found a tiny goniatite. DSR has produced the largest number of goniatites in my collection. It rained lightly much of the morning but that didn't effect our collecting. In fact the wetness helped me spot the smooth shell of another, larger goniatite that was lying out in the open. Tornoceras uniangulare

Driving west on Route 20 towards my favorite Middle Devonian Hamilton sites in Madison County I always pass this limestone road cut on the west side of Schoharie County just outside the tiny hamlet of Leesville, NY. It is an exposure of the Lower Devonian Kalkberg Formation, part of the Helderberg Group amd it's richly fossiliferous. I have collected from there in the past and there's a nice-sized Favosites (tabulate coral) that I've been trying to release from the wall for the past few years now. Each time I stop there I give it a few more whacks from my sledge, but so far it won't budge. This spring on yet another foray to Central NY, I was in no rush and decided to give that Favosites a few more whacks. Again, no luck, but I noticed a nice Machaeraria formosa (brachiopod) lying free from the matrix, a nice consolation prize. I decided to spend a few more minutes checking out the site to see what else had weathered free and did pick up a number of specimens. The next day, on my way home I stopped again and checked out the road cut on the other side of the highway and collected a few more things. In addition to what I picked up there were scores of crinoid stem discs scattered about, bryozoans, and of course brachiopods. Maybe some day I'll spend a bit more time there. A pair of Machaeraria Formosa, a Pentamerid brachiopod. My only previous one has just a single valve. Both of these have two. Not sure on the ID of this single valve specimen. I'm guessing Uncinulus campbellanus, a Rhynchonellid brachiopod.

I want to share my fossils from a one week tour with you. I was in Cadzand (Netherlands), in Hoevenen (Antwerpen), in Barvaux and also in Eckelsheim (Germany). The most time i was on the beaches in Cadzand. Its just wonderful there and i dont spend my whole time to look for fossils On the beaches near Cadzand i didnt found that much as last year, but i think its still a nice haul. I found many bivalves, some fish vertebra, Gastropods, Balanus sp. and also many bones .... Bivalves: They are very common on some beaches, so i collect only the nicest ones: Glycymeris obovata: Megacardita (Venericor) planicosta: I found also some Pecten (Plural of Pecte ?) Balanus sp.: This fossil is also very common in Cadzand. So here are the best two: Trivia sp. On of my personal favourites are the Trivia sp. Too bad that they are very rare there .... This are all: Detailed:
