Hey Everyone! I am a new member from Albany, NY. I recently started collecting so my collection is still very small. I look forward to learning more about fossils and seeing what other people have!

Can anybody identify the first two? My father always wanted to keep them outside told him not to.........maybe I'll finally change his mind.

Reassessment of the Devonian Problematicum Protonympha
Oxytropidoceras posted a topic in Fossil News
I can see that Dr. Retallack is stirring up more controversy and keeping paleontologists on their toes.

I found this a few years ago, but have not been able to ID it. Is it a fossil or is it just bone, and what is it from?

Hi, there. My name is Florence, and I currently live in New York. I work in healthcare and do a bit of fossil collecting when I have free time (which is unfortunately not much). I've been interested in fossils for several years now, although I am certainly an absolute beginner in comparison to many on this forum. I look forward to learning from everyone. Thank you.

Hello Everyone My name is Thomas Schmid, I am an avid fossil hunter and collector. I am based out of Western New York, I travel all over NY to public and private dig sites and in general will probably be hunting and digging and prepping fossils until the day i die, in which case i will donate some of my most incredible and rare fossil finds to Museums and the Buffalo Geological Society. I specialize in Upper to Lower Devonian, and early Ordovician deposits. I am self educated in Paleography and in Ancient Paleo-fauna, but i love to learn from anybody that can teach me whatever they can or are willing to. I am looking to learn more about fossil prepping, i do have A Sioux pneumatic air scribe and dremel. But i am looking to learn more about safely using chemicals to remove shale and excess matrix in certain speciems where i have great intact fossils with spotty areas loaded with the soft shale that i cannot remove as i do not have a air abrasive scribe (yet). I am happy to be a new member, and i hope i find the other "fossil nuts" to talk "shop" with i lack in my everyday life (haha!) ~Thank you~ For an example of the Devonian fossils i am finding and basing my written thesis on, exhibit A in the picture provided is my finest find to date! Enjoy and i look forward to being a contributing member to this community and to learn from you all I also run my own Business Ancient Art & Jewelry as i do buy or trade and sell domestic (to the states) and exotic fossils in events shows and venues and museum shows. I also make jewelry out of the Fossils i find and buy, mostly what i find though! (Devonian) If anybody ever finds interest in seeing what i make for a holiday or regular gift i think it would be more appropriate to message me. I don't want to advertise things on this site as i am more than happy to do my shows. I prefer to learn and teach and enjoy the resources this Community/Forum provides. Thank you kindly, ~Tom

Eldredgeops rana (thorax and pygidium) Middle Devonian Upper Ludlowville Formation Hamilton Group Briggs Road Quarry Randolphville, New York This one and 7/8 of an inch long partial specimen is way bigger than any of my other complete or partial specimens of this species. If it had been complete it would have stretch well over two inches.- 1 comment

Okay, so I had some free time while I was working in the mid Atlantic States so I decided to sneak in a quick collecting trip to Virginia. I’m hoping someone can tell me what type of Trilo this is before I prep it out. It’s my winter project i also have a question on ID for another Trilo imprint I found earlier this summer but haven’t had a chance to post it. This one is from New York, it was a random road cut that I stopped at to have some lunch and happened to notince these in the rocks....of course I brought them home! Pictures to follow These are the two pieces from New York

I was just curious as to if anyone knows how to get in touch with someone about possibly being able to dig at Walcott as a guest, as it’s a private quarry, or if someone else knows where to find the gold bugs with appendages. I am hoping someone can point me to where there is isotelus or Ceraurus as it’s my favorite Trilos. Any help is appreciated. Even if you know a guy that knows a guy that knows a worker there lol. Thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Monday I was in Schoharie County up on the Helderberg Plateau southwest of Albany, NY. In a roadside exposure of the Manlius Formation I picked up several pieces of rock with numerous Tentaculites specimens. There were also small brachiopods and ostracods. The Manlius Formation either represents the bottom of the Helderberg Group- the lowest of the Lower Devonian or the highest formation in the Silurian in New York. Tentaculites were originally thought to be related to mollusks or worms, but now are considered more closely related to brachiopods and bryozoans.

Found as surface float near the top of the Windom exposure, a few feet below the Genundewa Limestone at Penn-Dixie Quarry in Hamburg, NY. A very common fossil in Hamilton Group sediments. Similar to Emanuella praeumbona, distinguished from E. praeumbona by the hinge width; the hinge of A. umbonata spans the width of the valve, while that of E. praeumbona is narrower. A. umbonata has a nearly flat brachial valve, while that of E. praeumbona shows a convex profile. Full-sized specimens of A. umbonata are also not as large as E. praeumbona. Originally designated Orthis umbonata. A. umbonata has been defined as the type species of Ambocoelia by Hall. References: Wilson, K. A. “Field Guide to the Devonian Fossils of New York” (2014). Paleontological Research Institution Special Publication No. 44. Linsley, D. M. “Devonian Paleontology of New York” (1994). Paleontological Research Institution Special Publication No. 21. Hall, J.

Distinguished from Ambocoelia umbonata by the hinge width; the hinge of A. umbonata spans the width of the valve, while that of E. praeumbona is narrower. E. praeumbona also shows a convex profile to the brachial valve, and grew to a larger size. E. praeumbona is common in the Hamilton Group only within the upper layers of the Windom Member. Originally designated Orthis praeumbona, later assigned to Ambocoelia, then reassigned to Emanuella in 1990. References: Hall, J. Palaeontology of New York v. 4.

Found as surface float on the scree pile at the Windom exposure. Originally assigned to Rhynchonella prolifica, currently assigned to Camarotoechia. Appears to have been assigned to several genera over time, including Stenocisma and Cupularostrum. Refs: Linsley, D. M. Devonian Paleontology of New York.

Found as surface float on the scree pile at the Windom exposure. Possible undescribed species of genus Cyrtina. Closely resembles C. hamiltomensis, but surface is smooth and punctate, rather than covered in tiny spicules. Also differs in that extremities are slightly rounded, rather than squared, and height of interarea is equal to the width rather than smaller. References: Ehlers, G. M.

Found as surface float on the scree pile at the Kashong exposure. Originally assigned to Delthyris, reassigned to Spirifer, Acrospirifer, and Patriaspirifer. Alternate spellings: P. duodenaris, P. duodenaria, P. duodenarius. Does not appear in Fossilworks or Wilson’s “Field Guide to the Devonian Fossils of New York”. Classification information from Fossilworks entry for Patriaspirifer genus. Reference: Linsley, D. M. Devonian Paleontology of New York.
