Upper Ordovician (Cincinattian) & Silurian Fossils for Trade
Elasmohunter posted a topic in Member-to-Member Fossil Trades
Hey, all! I have a surplus of Upper Ordovician (Cincinnattian series) and Silurian fossils from the Dayton area. Fossils include diverse brachiopods, horn corals, orthoconic nautiloids, and bryozoans as well as trilobite fragments. Would anyone like to trade for these fossils? If there's anything in particular that you'd like from the area that I don't already have in my collection, then I may be able to go search for it before the trade, too. If anyone expresses interest, then I'll upload images of said fossils in the next few days. Let me know!- 1 reply

Hello Fellow Rock Hounds. I am Dawn and newer to fossil hunting as a hobby. I've always loved rocks, and collecting stones, but have begun planning solo local trips to dig for fossils just within the last year. My youngest son's scout troop wanted to earn an extra merit pin, so I volunteered to teach about rocks, minerals and fossils. After lots of reading, digging and prep, I presented a workshop for the boys and gave each of them their own box full of rocks, minerals and fossils, which we spent time learning about. We also had a fun rock hunt top complete the requirements. It was a success! But through it all, I realized how much I enjoyed rocks and fossils, and especially the hunt, so now make time to search for more fossils for my own collection. With home near Kings Island amusement park, I'm just between Cincinnati and Dayton, so have plenty of great locations just a short drive away. As such, I regularly hunt at Caesar Creek, Hueston Woods, and have visited the Georgetown (OH) road cuts most recently and even found an unrolled trilobite that was 1.5 inches (my fist bug found!). Oakes Quarry is on my list of sites for this summer. But I'd love to hear of road cuts or other locations that collectors "dig". There is an amazing plethora of information on this forum. I look forward to getting to know some of you via the message boards here. Happy hunting! Dawn
