I've found this...I've looked through my middle devonian books under Gastropod, Ammonite, Bivalve, Brachiopod...can't find it under any of them. Pretty sure it's a mud mold...but, not 100%. Comes from the Kashong Member, Hamilton Group, Middle Devonian, Seneca Cnty, NYS. Thanks Greg

Hello friends! I've had some time to sort through, organize and take photos of fossils from my recent trip to DSR. I have also attempted to ID some of my finds using Lindsey's Devonian Paleontology of NY but have found doing so with the bivalves especially difficult, I'm not sure if that is up to me not having experience with then, them being generally harder to differentiate or a bit of both. Starting off with the lophophorates: 1. This brachiopod is a Chonetid, I initially just thought that it was Devonchonetes which is common at the site but looking closer it looked much more like Longispina mucronata to me, would this be accurate? 2. Next, another Strophomenid brachiopod. Protoleptostrophia perplana? 3. Finally, I believed this one was a hyolith based on the shape and size but @Fossildude19 believed this one may be a nautiloid. I'm still inclined to say hyolith but would like to hear other opinions. I forgot to include a scale here but the shell is about 2 cm long and .5 wide . Pteriomorphs: 4. .I don't have much to say about these, they range in sizes but their form looks quite similar, I am not sure if they are the same species or different. Shell 1 Shell 2 Shell 3 Shell 4 Shell 5 6. This one also looks quite similar to the last few but the shell itself seems a bit more elongated. 7. this one although just a partial was the only one of the kind I found and still pretty well preserved which made me decide to keep it, not sure about the ID though. Pseudoaviculopecten? 8. I'm throwing these in here because I also had them photographed although I don't think these are bivalves, the objects have an iridescence to them and lack any shell detail beyond the wrinkly texture you see here, might these be phyllocarids? Will add more photos soon. Any help is really appreciated, Thank you.

Middle Devonian, Finger Lakes region, Hamilton Group, both are "branching forms". Today I found what I at first thought was a colonial rugose coral Eridophyllum(1st photo by someone on another forum). The outside appearance looks to me to be very simalar to what I found(3rd photo). However, on closer inspection, I realized that the open ends were quite different. In his you can see septa...on mine the inside of the ends are "grainy"(2nd photo). Also it should be noted that mine has been broken at the upper sections. It's been suggested that mine might actually be Bryazoa. Any thoughts? Thanks Greg

I've recently attempted to start preparing the fossils I collected in upstate NY. With a lot of trial and error and some nicked specimens, I have started to get used to my primitive preparation set-up consisting of a nail, a sewing needle and a hammer. Here's a disarticulated greenops which was great practice: On a side note, I've noticed that freshly exposed shell is a nice black. Would anyone know how to get that back?

Hey everyone, Just last week I took a camping trip to Watkins Glenn with my family. While there, I took advantage of the wonderful exposures prevalent in central NY and took to collect a plethora of Devonian age fossils. The first two days of the trip were solely dedicated took hiking and camping activities such as visiting the deep gorges present in the finger lakes area. You can see the steep walls of shale exposed along the gorge.

Belated NYPS field trip report Part II: cephalopods
Nautiloid posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Here are some of the cephalopod fossils from my latest fossil hunting trip. Enjoy! -
Hi fellow forum members! So a while back I went on a field trip with the NYPS to a couple spots in central NY. Both spots were middle Devonian hamilton group. The first spot was Windom shale, and I believe the second spot was Upper Ludlowville. I started working on a trip report but only ended up doing the arthropods. I completely forgot about all of my other fins lol. Now I’m going to show some of my best non-arthropod fossils from the trip. Enjoy!

Well, it's been a while since I was able to get out and get some hunting in. Between social distancing, yard work, a tricky lower back issue, and the occasional migraine, I hadn't been able to get out except once, since before the pandemic started. Jeffrey P and I had plans for August 2nd to go out, and I was sidelined by a migraine. No fun. We rescheduled to August 9th. On August 8th, the trick back acted up. Uggh. I really did not want to bail again! Did some stretches, and a bit of work on my elliptical on Saturday, and ended up being OK for Sunday morning. So, ... I got up at 4:15 AM. Made some coffee, packed some things, and my gear, and headed off to meet Jeff at our usual meet up spot, an hour away from my home. We both got there at the same time. Said hello, and switched my gear over to Jeff's car. Within minutes, we were off. After about an hour and a half, and a stop for gas and snacks in the small town of Roscoe, NY, we headed up towards Deep Springs Road. I had not been to DSR since last year, and Jeff hadn't been there since the beginning of spring. We were both looking forward to getting out and finding some neat fossils, as we always do when we go to DSR. On the 3.5 hour drive to the site, we caught up, discussed Jeffrey's prodigious finds from his recent trips to the Cretaceous of NJ, listened to a wide variety of music (Thanks Jeff, for turning me on to the Smoke Fairies!) and discussed our lock down experiences during this pandemic. After an hour and 45 minutes, we arrived. The day was beautiful, not overly hot, with a bit of a breeze here and there. We got to work almost immediately. We worked for a bit to free a huge bench Jeff had started the last time he was there. Got it loosened by the end of the day, but no joy with moving it. Someone else will likely enjoy the fruits of our labors. Oh well. I wandered off to do my walk and split thing, finally settling on the lower level in the middle, where I have had good luck with Greenops trilobites, and the enigmatic phyllocarids found at the site. While working that area, I found a few nice Greenops sp. rollers, a few Rhinocaris phyllocarid bits, along with a nice on-edge prone-ish (albeit bit crumpled up) example. I found that specimen shortly after the arrival of @FossilJen and her son. We welcomed them and answered a few questions, showed them a few finds, and I gifted the specimen I had just found to the curious newbies. Hopefully we made a good impression, and have hooked a few more people into the fossil hunting addiction. At this point, I took a break for water and some food. It was hot under the sun! I moved up higher into the quarry, where there was plentiful shade. I'd never worked up there before, but I was finding trilobits and trilobutts, frequently. A few decent things were found, including some plant material, some neat brachiopods, a few bryozoan encrusted gastropods, a tiny Eldredgeops roller, an Echinocaris phyllocarid valve, and a partial Greenops sp prone trilobite. By this time, it was getting late, and we were getting a bit tuckered out. l did a bit more wandering, and came upon this, sitting on the edge of the outcrop on the second level of the quarry, near the middle of the site. This was a partial imprint of a 5.5 or 6 inch prone Dipleura dekayi! There was no way to remove this in one piece, (at least in the time we had left!) so I collected it via photograph. After shaking my head for a bit, we packed up, and got on the road. After a bit of a drive, we stopped at our favorite Scottish restaurant, had dinner, and continued on our way. At around 8:45 PM we arrived at our meet up spot, said our goodbyes, and headed home. I was home by around 10:20 PM. exhausted, but happy to have gotten out and made some decent finds. Photos to follow. Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoy. Continued:
