Hi all, yesterday I met up with @Nautiloid and @Dean Ruocco in Madison County to collect some bugs at DSR and another site nearby. After exchanging some gifts we got to work collecting, you can see some of @Nautiloid’s finds on his post here… Dean and I got to work creating benches in a promising area whilst @Nautiloid checked out an area at the site I had mentioned to him prior to the trip. Straight off the bat we were all finding some decent bugs, here were the only Greenops I found yesterday. I always like to collect some of the weirder associated fauna found at DSR, such as these Hyoliths. This one has both a Hyolith and a cephalopod I didn’t find too much Dipleura wise, only a decent head and some single segments, the latter of which I left at the site. After we finished up at DSR, we decided to move onto another site which I was told not to mention, so I will honor that request.

Found a green chisel at Deep Springs Road
Trilobite Enthusiast posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hey, did any of you guys forget a long, green chisel at deep springs road? I found one amongst the rubble last Saturday. -

Earlier in the beginning of the year, I was asked by one of my club members to lead our Syracuse club on a field trip to DSR. The member who asked is a longtime member of the Syracuse club as well as one in Pennsylvania, which is were he resides. The plan was I would lead the Syracuse members and he would bring the Pennsylvania members on the same day. We decided on May 7th. I realize that I am a bit late posting this report, so please forgive me. Been busy. It turned out to be a great day weather wise. I brought my youngest son Devin, even though his plan was to look for snakes. We met the local members at our clubhouse at 8 am and arrived first to the quarry about 9:30. The PA. Group showed up a bit later. Forum member @Al Tahan showed up with his cousin and her daughter. In all there was around 20 fossilhunters. From here I will let the pictures do the talking.

Hello everyone, I recently sifted through some more of my leftover Deep Spring Road matrix with a few more ordinary finds but this one really has me stumped. I found a very tiny brachiopod, the diameter of the shell is right around 0.5cm, maybe slightly more, while I have seen some like this the ornamentation of the shell threw me off a bit. For this size I expected it was probably something like Ambocoelia sp. maybe Emanuella sp., or something else similar, but neither of these have the fairly distinct growth lines around the shell seen in this specimen. The closest shell ornamentation I've seen to this is that of Athyris spiriferoides, which is also present at this site but I have never seen one be this small which left me unsure about the identity of the organism. Maybe @Tidgy's Dad might know more about this? I tried to take some pictures but at this scale it is quite difficult, here is the best I have so far: I will see if I can get better pictures tomorrow although I don't know if that will be possible with the equipment I currently have. Thank you for any help, it is very much appreciated.

Can we collect in the Deep Springs Road Creek?
Trilobite Enthusiast posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I was just fossil hunting at the deep springs road site, and I decided to search for fossils in the dry part of the creek (downstream a bit, in the thorny brambles). I found many fossils, but I wondered as I was doing it whether fossil collection there was allowed. I figured that since the owner lets people fossil hunt on that property, and because that area was not cared for (bramble city), that it was okay. However, I stopped on the off chance that it wasn’t allowed in case it could affect any other people hunting on the site. Is fossil hunting there okay? If not, should I return the fossils I collected? -

Hi everyone, nearly a month ago I posted this Devonian crinoid I found at Deep Springs Road here for an ID. I finally got it prepped (finished Feb 1st 2022), and it came out really nice! I originally thought it was a Logocrinus, but the more I look at it the less it checks out. I also thought it may have been a Ancyrocrinus, but it also doesn't look right. Does anyone have any ideas on an ID? Edit: the ID Decadocrinus multinosodus has been assigned to this Crinoid by a professional at the RMSC! Before prep After prep

Hello again everyone, sorry for the delay between Part 1 and Part 2. I went through some more material from DSR and I've made some pretty awesome finds. I might have enough specimens for a Part 3, but I still have to go through more material. The same goes for the Penn Dixie part, I've barely touched it yet and still need to photograph the finds. To kick Part 2 off, here is my best DSR find yet! A nearly complete (unfortunately disarticulated) Echinocaris punctata!!! My kitten Indy for scale The Echinocaris has one of the spikes on its tail visible, and both valves are present. Another Phyllocarid, a Rhinocaris columbina! The reverse side shows another half, possibly from the same Rhinocaris? This cute little cephalon is one of my first Eldredgeops finds at DSR. Here's the Dipleura heads I've found so far (excluding the one from the previous trip report), This one is one of the largest I've found yet, it's 3 inches wide! This cephalon was a real heartbreaker. The other half of it was stuck under 1 1/2 - 2 feet of overburden This one is upside down I think this is a juvenile Dipleura cephalon, but I'm not 100% sure. I'll have to clean it up to be sure. Now onto the misc finds This is one of the largest Goniatites(?) I've found here, it popped out of the matrix on the way home but it should be able to be glued back. I feel like the cone shaped fossil in the center of the piece might be a Hyolith, but I don't know for sure. A lone crinoid stem, it'd be cool to see what it looks like when prepped. Not sure what kind of fossil this is, possibly a devonian putty scraper? Here's some Brachs and Bivalves from DSR, I'm not 100% sure on the ID's so if I'm wrong please correct me on it. Goniophora chemungensis? Paraspirifer acuminatus? Mucrospirifer consobrinus? Big jumble of brachs (maybe some Bivalves too?), cool golden sheen on it. I don't think it's pyritization. Assorted brachs Devonochetes coronatus? This is on the back of the possible Hyolith piece shown above. M. mucronatus? Large brachiopod and bivalve hash plate Probably the biggest Bivalve I've ever seen, let alone found. ID unknown Orthonota undulata

Hello everybody, I recently took a trip out to DSR and Penn Dixie a week ago. The drive was pretty grueling, with 4 hours to DSR then another 2 hours after that to Penn Dixie. I think it was worth it though. Here are some of my finds from DSR. While surface collecting I came across a Greenops pygidium. I didn't think much of it until I looked a bit closer and saw a thorax! At this point I was praying for there to be an intact head, and there it was! Although it's missing a genal spine, it's by far my best personal trilobite find. Possibly my first in situ complete trilobite as well! My dad found this awesome Dipleura cephalon, unfortunately we were only able to find a part of the negative :(. Still a great find nonetheless!! This is one of my favorite finds from last week, a nearly complete Greenops with a cool brachiopod behind it. A really detailed partial Greenops my dad found sitting on the surface, this is one of the best Greenops we found Possible Dipleura pygidium? Split this massive cephalopod I found in some shale I brought home, I'm not sure on the ID of this one but my best guess is Michelinoceras. A really nice Grammysioidea arcuata (huge thanks to @Misha for helping me ID this one) My best Eldredgeops find from DSR yet, a bronze colored pygidium. I could've sworn I found a head of an Eldredgeops there, but I have yet to come across it in my buckets I'll be posting the Penn Dixie finds soon, so stay tuned!

The other day I was splitting some shale I brought back from a trip to DSR and found this awesome crinoid! It's the first complete (arms+ calyx + stem) I've seen from DSR. I'm going to have the stem transferred and then have it air abraded by a friend of mine, hopefully it'll be easier to ID by then. For now, my best guess is probably Gilbertsocrinus spinigerus

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.

Hello everyone, Being from CT fossil sites tend to not be too close to my area, especially the Paleozoic ones I am most interested in. As a result of this I don't get to go fossil hunting too often, and today was my first time going to the amazing DSR site after not having hunted for fossils for almost a year. The site was incredible and completely loaded with fossils, the most common probably being Devonchonetes. Unfortunately one of the people I was with couldn't handle the weather and we had to cut the hunt short. Hopefully we will return tomorrow and get to hunt there a lot longer. Here are some other photos from the site: Greenops pygidium, Dipleura partial and a mostly complete Greenops. And my favorite finds of the day: this piece I initially picked up due to the nice little bivalve but now that I've been able to look it over better, I found that it actually has a part of a Rhinocaris shell on the other side. This piece has a beautiful bivalve as well as a nice nautiloid behind it. Partial Eldredgeops rana Another bivalve similar to that second one both in shape and size A very nice Spiriferid I broke while opening some shale but was able to quickly glue back together. This wonderful little Orbiculoidea, love the inarticulate brachiopods! An Orthid, Rhipidomella? Out of matrix with both valves present and completely intact Some more beautiful Spiriferids Two Spinocyrtia granulosa, I really like the look and size of these brachs. Hopefully more to come tomorrow!

So still going thru items from my Deep Spring Road quarry dig 2 years ago. The ruler marks are mm. Below are a few items I'm looking for ideas on. First 2 are bryozones I think, 3rd is ????, it consists of the negative which is the tan imprint on the upper left and the positive which is flipped up to the right.
