5-9-22 Lower Silurian Red Mountain Formation- Dalton, Georgia
Nimravis posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Today I made a quick stop to a very small exposure of the Lower Silurian, Red Mountain Formation that is found along Dug Gap Battle Road in Dalton, Georgia. It is a nice place to stop for a few minutes. One of the nice things about this site, is the area where I park my car ,which is across the street. Here is a pic of the site- A couple closer up pics- A pic of me that my wife took from the parking area. Here are some of my finds-- 11 replies

Last summer I posted a trip report about finding some Pennsylvanian black shale in a river bed in East Central Illinois http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/106753-628-illinois-black-shale-trip-w-listracanthus/. I was able to visit the site again once more in the fall last year when the river was running much lower and collect more and larger pieces of the finely bedded and fissile shale. Since then I have been slowly splitting and going through the rocks I brought home, and finding many interesting fish parts- that is definitely the dominant fauna presen

Before going back to the ESCONI Gem and Fossil Show, I decided to leave the house early and make the 75 minute trip to Oglesby, Illinois to a roadcut that I like to collect and was last there 19 days ago. This roadcut, exposes the Pennsylvanian LaSalle Member of the Bond Formation. Within those 19 days, portions of the head wall came down, dropping several thousands of pounds of rock. As I have stated in previous posts, this is not a road cut for younger collectors and people who are not sure-footed. Here are a few pics of the exposure as I found it this morning.

While researching what caused the current invertebrate fossil of the month to have such a wonderful iridescence (www.thefossilforum.com), I came across some interesting info on preservation of color patterns in fossil shells. In Northern California where I live, most of the color of a fossil shell disappears after a few thousand years. The pattern of color is gone in a couple million years. While in Texas, I collected Texigryphea from the early Cretaceous that still had color patterns of dark radial bands. Finding a paper about Devonian brachiopods with color patterns surprised me.

3-1-22 Oglesby, Illinois Pennsylvanian Roadcut Collecting
Nimravis posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
On Sunday I took trip to a roadcut that I like to collect. This roadcut, about 75 minutes from my house exposes the Pennsylvanian LaSalle Member of the Bond Formation. I have been to this site numerous times, as have @deutscheben and @connorp. If you search using the word “Oglesby”, you will find numerous posts with some great stuff that comes out of this roadcut. Well back to the post. On Sunday the site still had too much snow cover to try and collect at this location, so I left. So today I had a choice, go to the Mazon Creek area since it wa- 24 replies

Hello FF members: I’m going out to visit Penn Dixie and go on a field trip with PRI in a couple weeks, and I was wondering whether anyone might be willing to point me to an additional collecting site or two roughly between Syracuse and Buffalo. I’m mostly interested in brachiopods, mollusks, and microfossils, but that’s not a hard limit. Don’t want to steal anyone’s honey hole, but I remember from (many) years back that there were sometimes creek or road cuts that could afford a few hours of leisurely collecting. I’m happy to trade issues of Fossil News magazine if that’s of any in

I found the first fossils on the west coast of Norway
Levion posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Only two weeks ago, when i was out rock hunting on the south western coast of Norway, I found two rocks with fossils inside them. In Norway, fossils are only found in Oslo, Trondheim and on the northern part of Norway. The only fossils found in the west are in Ritlandskratere, an ancient meteor crater, four hours away from where i found mine. The fossils are some brachiopods and clams, a trilobite tail, a belemnite fragment and a belemnite phragmocone. There could maybe be some new species or sub species. I am waiting for the response of the Natural History -

Fossil hunting trip to Lompret (Devonian of Belgium)
ziggycardon posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi everyone! Around 2 months ago on the 16th of october 2021 I went on a fossil hunting trip with the BVP to the stone quarry of Lompret in Belgium. https://www.paleontica.org/locations/fossil/654 The rocks in this quarry are Devonian in age and date back to the Frasnian (382.7 million years ago to 372.2 million years ago) with the finds mostly being from both the Neuville and Matagne Formations. According to Tom our excursion leader this quarry exists out of what used to be coral reefs and islands that formed around atolls. The fossils that you can find in this quar- 11 replies

Howdy folks! I haven’t posted a hunt in a long time, and I got a chance today to go to a very productive location I’ve discovered. This was the first time I’ve had any amount of time to look, so I ended up pleasantly surprised by what I found. Unfortunately, I don’t know the species of brachiopod, but I suspect they might be Pulchratia, though you’re welcome to correct me, I don’t know invertebrates very well yet. The site was created from being a man made pond, where the removed soil was then dumped a ways from the pond and after many years it has eroded down to expose some really nice

On my way home from Georgia today I decided to make a short stop at the Vienna, Illinois roadcut that is right off of I-24. The weather was nice, a balmy 52 degrees and I was out collecting without a jacket. I decided to stop for 20 minutes and see how many blastoids that I could find, but alas, I only found a small one. I did find the usual pieces that are found at the Mississippian roadcut- blastoid, brachiopods, horn coral, a crinoid basal plates, bryozoan, including Archimedes screw and a number of hash plates. I

Hello Everyone, I found this fabulous rock which is chock full of brachiopods on the bank of the Tennessee River today. When I first broke it open, the brachiopods were all relatively intact. Unfortunately, several split and/or started crumbling off while I was trying to gently clean off some of the river grime. I’m hoping someone can tell me the simplest way to go about cleaning/preserving these brachiopods with the least damage? Thanks!

Paleozoic Adventures in Kentucky and Tennessee October 2021
Jeffrey P posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi Everyone, In the latter half of last month I took a two week trip to Kentucky and Tennessee. My sister, her husband, two of her adult children, and my parents all live in the Elizabethtown/Louisville area and I was able to spend some quality time with them. Fossil collecting was also part of my agenda. Herb, my primary fossil collecting partner in Kentucky and I had a three day trip down to Tennessee planned. Before I went on that expedition, I was out with my brother-in-law driving around central Kentucky. He dropped me off for 20 minutes at the Upper Mississippian site at Wax where- 76 replies

I could use some help confirming the identities of these brachiopods from the Harpersville Formation (Upper Pennsylvanian). Using the slide deck for brachiopods on the DPS website I made a best guess. I would love to know if someone has different thoughts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! #1- Marginifera fragilis #2- Desmoinesia muricatina #3- Hystriculina wabashensis

JFollowing the advice of some of the people on the forum here I spent part of yesterday afternoon collecting fossils near Kingston NY on the road cutouts on route 9W I was able to get quite a few decent hash plates consisting of Devonian Brachiopods. Unfortunately, I am not yet familiar enough with the area to identify these to the genus or species level (the only brachiopods I know how to ID are Laptaena because they are my favorites and sadly none of these are them). I also found what I think might be a trilobite tale but I think it could also just as easily be more brachiopods, and one foss
