So reading through some old posts and seeing @Jeffrey P finds, I decided to get out today and take a trip to the Dave Elliot outcrops. After digging through what Jeff left behind I decided to take a look around that area. I’ll post more as I get them prepped but here’s a few to get started. Largest intact Horn Coral I have ever found.

I found this rock on a Lake Ontario beach in New York. I'm primarily curious about the heart-shaped outlines. Thanks!

Have some Mid Devonian brachiopod or bivalve shells that I am not sure about, tried to do some research on my own on what I found. Hoping to get some ID confirmation or help here. Greatly appreciate the help. 7 pictures below: 1. Bivalve Shell? Moscow Formation I believe 2. Brachiopod Shell, never found another like this one? Windom Shale from Livingston Co. Wondering the difference between these two spirifers: 3. 4. 5. Rhipidomella? 6. or is this Rhipidomella?

Hey everyone, been a little MIA recently. Work/life balance has gotten a little out of whack. Looking forward to sharing some of my 2021 finds soon! anyway I’m revisiting this fossil I found in Western New York roughly 2 years ago. at first when I shared the find I asked some opinions and most said cephalopod. I knew it probably wasn’t that but I didn’t really explore it further. this is from the Wanakah shale of the ludlowville formation in the Hamilton group of WNY. Middle Devonian in age. this “seems” like a spine? I don’t really know.

Anybody know of sites in or near dolgeville? I saw that Little Falls is good never been there.

Hello everyone, A few months ago I hosted the wonderful Sara the Travelling Ceratopsian and as such I received a set of fossils (and of course contributed some of my own to the box). I selected this set of New York trilobite pieces as I have literally no experience with trilobites and it's nice to add a whole new group to my collection . The label says there are 5 trilobite pieces on 3 different bits of rock (however there are 6 I think). 3 bits are ID'd as Eldredgeops rana from the Wanakah Shale, Hamilton Group, Buffalo, NY. Middle Devonian The

Hi! I just moved to Ithaca New York, and while I was birding around Beebe lake, decided to make a little fossil stop on a rocky slope, I found this, which to me, looks bit like a soft tissue preservation, but any thoughts on it?

Which school to go to if I want to enter paleontology?
gatorblade posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hey all. I'm in my last year of high school in brooklyn and I am extremely passionate about paleontology, but I don't know which school in NYC would be able to cater to my aspirations. There are a couple of cunys with geology but I cannot find any with programs in paleontology. -
Hello again! I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for places in the north east US (around PA) that I could research? As was suggested to me, I’ve narrowed down the things I’d like to collect. I’m really interested in fossils that.. well look like things. Don’t get me wrong, shells and crinoids are exciting! But I’d be so jazzed to have fish, crustaceans, insects, or plants. Anomalocaris are so rad, though I fully understand that those are hard to find so I’m going to focus on other stuff for now lol. Maybe someday. My dad in particular wanted me to ask if anyone knew of any ea

Hi guys so today I came across a new shop that popped up in downtown Hamilton, Ontario. Anyway long story short I bought what appears to be Silurian coral fossil that originated somewhere on the Niagara Escarpment in Ontario or the State of New York. This fossil came from a peculiar museum that liquidated its collections in Niagara of Ontario and closed but the fossil didnt come with a label. Can anyone help me pin down what it is? I have never encountered a fossil like this on the Niagara Escarpment of Hamilton, Ontario. Also this was being sold along with o

Hello everyone, A couple of weeks ago while looking through the pdf Devonian Paleontology of NY by Linsley I stumbled upon a very interesting looking brachiopod, This is an athyrid that belongs to the genus Pentagonia which is apparently found in the Mid Devonian of New York. I was immdiatley quite intrigued by this as I have never heard of it and love athyrids especially with interesting and unique shapes such as this one, so wanted to find out what formations these could be in as I would be really interested in finding some, but upon looking the genus and both species up I didn't g

Saw many of these gray ovals... perhaps not a fossil?

I am heading to Herkimer for a trip soon, and I was wondering if anyone knew any places one could find fossils? I heard some of the mines have stromatolites but I could not find much information on that. I also hear about trilobites near the diamond mines, and I hope to find some, and if anyone has any advice that would be appreciated.

Hi y'all, I went to the AMNH literally days before NY (and the world) shut down. There definitely seemed to be less people than I presumed was usual. Despite spending just a couple of hours there, I can say it's my favorite museum. Unlike many museums, most of the specimens on display are complete or mostly actual fossils. I really want to go back to take my time and comb through the entire museum. I wish I took more pictures - guess I was too busy admiring it all. You can tour the museum yourself on Google Earth (the link should drop you right into the Saurichian hall).

I recently collected a few fossils from Schoharie County in upstate NY. Among them are the pictured. I am hoping someone can tell me in detail exactly what I have, in as much detail as possible. I apologize in advance, as usual, but I am still learning and am trying to get as mush specific detail as I can. The first was hard to effectively photograph, but appears plant-like. It is hard to make out, but the pattern continues in a circle. I've included two photos, one with my hand for scale. Coral perhaps? The second has several things, but I am interested primarily in the lower right side
