Identifying Restoration on a Recently Purchased Eurypterid Fossil
Sarcopterygiianson posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi all! I made a post previously about contemplating buying an anomalocaridid appendage, but considering your feedback, ultimately decided against it. I'd been saving up for a fossil that I was really excited about, and ultimately decided to take the plunge on a gorgeous Eurypterus Remipes from a very kind seller. I spoke with the seller of this Eurypterid prior to making the purchase, and he had mentioned that a small portion of the dorsal postabdomen was restored. I saw another portion of the prosoma and attached appendages that I thought might be restored as well, asked about it, and the seller was transparent about being unsure of whether it was or not. I think it is, but I was wondering if you all would have any insight. Beyond those two sections is there any reason to think that the rest of the fossil is anything other than how it was found? It look otherwise legitimate? I've attached plenty of pictures! Thanks!- 7 replies

A nice plate that displays current (look at the orientation of the body) flow. It hosts 3 Eurypterus remipes, one having preserved its Kiemenplatten (ancillary structures on the roof of the gill chamber). The real prize on the plate is a small relatively complete Dolichopterus. Collected spring 2023 at Langs quarry by Dean Rucco and Allan Lang.-

Recently, I spent 5 days at Lang’s quarry collecting fossils and hanging out with some friends. We broke large blocks in the quarry searching for Eurypterids and Pterygotids, of which we found many including a multi-plate. Are best find was a small incomplete Proscorpius, pictured below. After taking apart a large number of plates, I asked Allan if I could start a bench in situ, he liked the idea and I started to dig a pit out. The rock was weathered perfectly due to it receiving a chemical weathering rather than a physical weathering. The bench produced lots of Eurypterus, It was a fun little experience as most localities in the Fiddlers Green I’ve dug in weren’t weathered enough to really produce nice plates. Below I’ll attach a few pictures of some of the many Eurypterids we found and some pictures of are dig. I’d also like to thank Allan Lang for all of his help throughout the years. He’s taught me how to collect eurypterids properly, and is generous enough to invite me to dig often. Thank you Allan, you’ve changed my life.. 1. Hand exaction of the Phelps waterlime in situ. 2. Excavator exposing a large plate for us to take apart. 3. Decent Eurypterus laculatus, 4. Small Eurypterus remipes from my bench. 5.Small Eurypterus remipes in situ. 6.

Hello Everyone!! I recently spent a week with Allan Lang collecting eurypterids. Me and Allan have been good friends for a couple of years, he is kind enough to invite me up to dig with him! We found many things over the course of the week some of the highlights were a Proscorpius, a few complete specimens of Acutiramus, and many Eurypterus. Ill attach some photos below. We spent most of the time splitting massive chunks of waterlime from the Phelps member of the fiddlers green formation. It can be very dangerous at times due to the weight and size of the rock, but often many complete eurypterids can be found in them. The Proscorpius was the most exciting find for me, The quarry has produced quite a few this year which is unusual as they are incredibly rare. It was a super fun time, I always love hanging out with Allan and collecting eurypterids at the quarry.

A few days ago I spent the day collecting eurypterids with my good buddy Allan Lang. Firstly id like to thank Allan for his kindness towards me and his mentorship toward me, I'm very grateful towards him hes helped me a substantial amount and its always good seeing him. Anyway we probably found about a dozen good eurypterids as well as some neat associated fauna. Ill attach some photos below of some specimens we found! Top to bottom. Dolichopterus jewetti Undet cuticle, Prehaps the weathered carapace of Buffalopterus or Acutiramus. (Allan was generous enough to give this to me and the Dolichopterus because he knows I love my odd eurypterids) Windrow of Eurypterus remipes. Undescribed Eurypterus Referred to as Eurypterus laculatus. Nice Complete Eurypterus remipes. Last picture is of me and Allan looking at a plate as I flip it up.
