A warm hello from down under in Australia. My first time posting here, been lurking around for a little while and finally plucked up the courage to post. I live in the new England area of northern nsw Australia and have just started collecting fossils I'm already an avid fossicker and currently studying geology at a nearby university. I'm collecting from my nearest source of fossils all of 30 minutes away, the site is a polymictic conglomerate (murrawong creek formantion) in a road cutting, containing limestone clasts up to 1.5m in diameter these have been dated to the ordovician using conodonts (from what I've read). The pieces I've collected appear to include several different fossil corals, disarticulate crinoids and even tiny trilobites.
