Possible Pyritized Crinoid Found, Hamilton Group, NY
Rock-Guy-17 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Busy weekend with a fossil forum meetup at DSR in Madison County, NY and a Buffalo Geological Society trip to the LaFarge Lockport Quarry which is in the Lockport Dolomite. Very fun meetups with both groups and plenty of great finds to go around. I got pretty lucky with the fossils I found at DSR, including what I believe to be a very small pyritized complete crinoid but I could be wrong. I'll add the suspected crinoid pictures to a separate comment, looking for input from community members. I'll start out of order with Lockport since I did not find many fossils. Just a few nice corals, not sure what the ID would be for these yet. 1. Tabulate coral in matrix, no scale. This was approximately 4-6 inches in length. 2. Two different coral specimens I was able to take home Fossils from DSR: 3. Disarticulated Dipleura trilobite. One of my favorites 4. Tornoceras cephalopod fossil. 5. Paleozygopleura encrusted by bryozoa, great preservation 6. A few of the Greenops trilobites I found, some may be complete under the matrix. Meant to put these in a separate comment, but they are here now. A few too many pictures, but the different saturation and lighting helps view the fossil better. This would be my first complete crinoid, very excited about this one if it is. The larger chunk of shale that I found this piece in had other crinoid partials in it as well.

Howdy all, Been finding some crinoid stems in my usual spot in the Drakes Formation and I'm wanting an ID on them. They look similar to stems from Agaricocrinus americanus from the Carboniferous of the eastern U.S., though they were found in an upper Ordovician deposit. Any ideas?

A few days ago I took a trip to view some exposures of Ordovician aged rock along the Mississippi River. I had decided afterwards to take a little detour and stop by a fairly popular exposure of Mississippian aged Golconda Formation outside the town of Anna, Illinois. There is rock exposure along both sides of the road here. I was careful, and decided to park further down along a gravel road. A lot of material at this site is weathered out, and easily collectable. I flipped about every rock I saw as I walked up to the exposure, and the first rock I flipped had a nice blastoid on it that looks to clean up nice. I didn't use any tools here, everything collected was just picked up loose. I found a few more nice Pentremites blastoids. This next one is probably the largest Pentremites I've found in Illinois. It was huge! Here are the two compared next to each other. I believe they are both Pentremites pyriformis. I found a few nice crinoids as well. I almost couldn't believe what I saw when I spotted this first crinoid! A very small and dirty Phanocrinus crinoid. The next one I found was on a rock I flipped over, and better shows the bottom calyx plates. This one unfortunately wasn't complete, still not too shabby. There were alot of bryzoans and brachiopods weathered out. I did take a small handful of Archimedes spirals. Last find was a small block with a trilobite pygidium on it. This was a nice little stop. It was very easy to collect as well.

I stopped by a Mississippian aged road cut in Illinois today while driving on my way home. I found some crinoids, and I believe they are all Phanocrinus formosus from the Golconda Formation. I appreciate any input. I apologize, my camera cannot capture the best images of the smallest specimen.

Yesterday I was able to take a trip to the Silurian Racine formation of Southern Wisconsin. This site was easier than others due to the clear stratification, and I was able to see some of the reef overlay and underlay. finds included: my first dolomitized crinoid calyx, a nice fez-looking coral, some Bumastus trilobits, and what looks like a Cornulites impression? I’m curious if anyone has thoughts on the circular impression with calcite growths in it- unsure if it‘s an imprint or just a gap with mineral growth. Included a fun extra picture of old and new critters paired together.

Hopped out after I got out of work today and did a bit of hunting. Here are some of my finds.
