Grammysioidea alveata (Anomalodesmata bivalve) Middle Devonian Moscow Formation Windom Shale Hamilton Group Deep Springs Road Quarry Lebanon, NY. -
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

Found this July 2nd at Penn Dixie. Not sure if it's a graptolite fragment (Dictyonema) or bryozoan. Windom Shale, Moscow Formation, Hamilton Group. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Actinopteria boydi (bivalve) Middle Devonian Windom Shale Moscow Formation Hamilton Group Deep Springs Road quarry Lebanon, NY. -
I found this while splitting a chunk of shale leftover from my first trip to the Deep Springs Road site last year. Middle Devonian Windom Shale, Moscow formation, Hamilton Group. Deep Springs Road Quarry, Lebanon, NY. I think it might be phyllocarid in origin, but am obviously open to any and all other opinions. Doesn't quite look like a Rhinocarid - The spiky thing is throwing me off. I don't believe it is a bivalve or similar hiding under the "phyllocarid shell". Thoughts? Thank you, as always, in advance for your assistance. Continued ... PS - Oh, By the way, scale is in CM.
