I went to a rock outcropping in Central NY to look for Eurypterid fossils for about 2.5 hours yesterday, and focused on perusing the tailings pile that looked old, hoping for new freeze-thaw fracture planes through old discards might reveal previously hidden fossils. My finds were scattered partial specimens; I also collected 10 samples of the Bertie Waterlime (is the new term for Waterlime Dolomite or Dolostone?) with probable remains that were mostly hidden for purposes of experimenting with artificial freezing and thawing to try to uncover the fossils within. I will report on those experiments at some point in the future, as I hope to try a couple of approaches and document the results to see what will maximize recovery of the fossils. It was somewhat in shade in the afternoon hours--it would be exposed in sun during the morning, so bring sunscreen. It was cloudy when I took this picture. 2 cm 2-3 cm 2cm About 2.5 cm transverse
