    DSR Trip

    Today I had the pleasure of fossil hunting Deep Springs Road with @Dean Ruocco, Alan Lang, Cynthia, and Marcus. This was my first trip to hunt in NY, while I was hoping for a Dipleura, I was able to see a nice big one be found (I will let Dean post it) Additionally I had some fun take homes that are not too common for my PA honeyhole. The day mostly consisted of Dean, Marcus, and Myself cutting in a bench and working it hard. Cynthia was wearing down some of our spoil piles and providing insight into what exactly we were looking at. Alan was generous letting us use his tools and providing valuable pointers on digging practices. My take homes include: Greenops (Pretty uncommon at my Honeyhole) Eldredgeops (While common in PA, I hear they are uncommon at DSR) Various Bivalves and Brachiopods (I'm always a fan of matrix free shells) Photos of my haul:

    Deep Springs Road

    Yesterday I was finally able to take another trip to DSR, ending my nearly 5 months of fossil cabin fever. While it wasn't as ground-breaking as my last trip, where my father and I found an 8 inch Dipleura and a complete Crinoid, this trip was still really fun. We checked out some different areas than usual and it definitely paid off. Starting off with some of the oddities: A gastropod I've never seen or heard of before today, Promatis (patulis?) This is the second largest bivalve I've found at DSR I didn't notice these brachiopods until after I cleaned the specimen off, I assume they were attached on the inside of the shell? This was pretty weird, my best guess is that it's a branch of sorts. The brachiopod ontop of it is really cool A pretty cool association between a Paleozygopleura (delphicola?) (hamiltoniae?) and a Greenops pygidium my dad found. The Paleozygopleura needed some glue which I will need to clean up. Onto the trilobites now: A really nice cephalon my dad found Dipleura tail, probably not related to the cephalon Some Dipluera segments and pygidium Our first complete Eldredgeops from DSR, my father spotted it in some loose shale while he was digging an area Headless Eldredgeops, probably would've been complete but the head is lost in another piece of shale at the site. My dad pointed this beautiful tail-less Eldredgeops out when he was clearing out some shale. I should've recorded myself pulling it out of the shale but it's not a big deal. The eyes on this guy are absolutely incredible! The only significant Greenops specimen we came across, unfortunately it is headless. I'll keep updating this thread while I go through more of the material we brought home. I fell asleep for 15 hours after the 4 hour drive home, so I didn't have much time today.

    Unusual shape from DSR quarry

    Hello everyone, I made my first trip to DSR last summer, and brought back some fossils as well as extra interesting matrix to pick through at home. After being left out in the elements a lot of it has broken down or become much easier to break and separate and today I got to look through a bit to find some bivalves, brachiopods and hyoliths which were a nice surprise. But along with those fossils I also found this object that isn't quite like anything else I've seen from there. It is only partially exposed and also somewhat broken along the edge, but seems to have a special or ring shape to it. Because of this I initially thought it may be a goniatite, but looking closer there are these interesting ridges/folds along the inner edge and this isn't something I've observed in the Goniatites I have from the location and the others I've seen online. Does anybody know what this fossil might be? Any help and input is appreciated, Thank you

    Final trip to DSR for the season

    Yesterday my father and I took a trip out to DSR to collect samples for a school display project I'm making. We made some pretty incredible finds, including the largest trilobite I've ever seen with my own eyes. It was pretty nice at the site, the weather wasn't too cold. We immediately found some cool pieces, including 2 separate Echinocaris phyllocarid specimens (I found one, he found another) here's the Echinocaris I found, while just one valve it's got some incredible detail. here's the Echinocaris my dad found, it's the only juvenile one I think I've ever seen. I believe it may be complete, as it looks like the second valve goes underneath the matrix. Unfortunately the negative which held the telson is still at the site... maybe we will find it in the spring? Here is an awesome piece of a devonian tree branch which my dad found! onto some Greenops I found, this is a complete roller that was just sitting out. It's a bit disarticulated but still pretty nice. some of the many Greenops pygidiums I picked up, sorry for the poor lighting a nice Greenops cephalon with most of the genal spines still present Headless Greenops onto some of Eldredgeops, this is the largest cephalon of one I've found at the site here's a cool hash plate, there's a head and a pygidium present. I might try and split it open to see if there's more inside the block. And now, my favorite trilobite species found at DSR... Dipleura dekayi. two of the smallest I found, the one on the right is the smallest I've ever found in general. This is a large segment that my dad found, unfortunately it was just a single segment. I think some of you may want to take a seat before seeing this next Dipleura specimen, it'll knock your socks off! This is an 8 inch (from the remainder of the pygidium which might be in the negative to the tip of the cephalon) Dipleura dekayi!!! This is by far the best find my father and I have ever made from the site, as well as the largest trilobite either of us have found! This piece alone made the entire trip worth it, and im excited to get it cleaned and put on display. Interestingly, the Dipleura was found upside down instead of right-side up... Al Tahan proposed that it could've been a molt that was simply more stable upside down, which would explain why every other fossil near it was right side up. I'll be sure to post more about the Dipleura as well as some more specimens I uncover when I go through the material we brought back.
  5. My wife and I made our 2nd trip up to Deep Springs Rd on Saturday. Nothing spectacular but figured I would share our finds. Also posted a couple items in the identification forum. Grids are quarter inch. Starting with a mortality plate. I like this one because its a nice flat plate and easy display piece with several different shell types represented:

    Couple unknowns from DSR

    Got up to DSR for the 2nd time yesterday. Didn't have anything spectacular but will post some finds over in the trip forum. (Deep Springs Rd, Devonian, NY) Had 2 items I can't identify. First up is a 3/4 inch long piece: Second is a rather undefined semi-oval blob. I have both dry and wet views:
  7. Last weekend I had the chance to go to deep spring rd for the first time. It was very ambitious but since @Scylla was going I figured I would just go for it! It was really snowy I’m really excited to be able to study this site further once the site thaws. I saw the literature said the rock exposed shows a clear coarsening up sequence and the fauna changes as well. I really can’t wait to catologue my finds from here! regardless of the weather I still found some goodies. I did find a greenops with the tail tucked underneath. Almost a full prone. I was a fan of the associated fauna here. The cephalopods and bivalves are really nice. I didn’t take home a lot but I liked what I took This greenops can pop up of the chunk of shale seen in the photo but I have it in place. The tail is tucked under attached to the counterpart. Kinda cool to see the potential for this site! This cephalopod was pretty cool. Im not 100% sure if this is a worm burrow or predation marks? Most likely worm burrow? I’m not sure how predation marks would preserve this seems like an internal mold so I’m leaning to the burrow thought. Anyone know for sure? I liked this bivalve a lot! I forgot the name but I will soon have it locked down. I think I’ll be finding many of these this year! It was fun meeting up with gus a fellow forum member. The conditions were kinda hardcore but I can’t complain I still had a blast.
