Hi everybody, today I took a trip to 2 sites in the East Berlin Formation. I didn't find anything too spectacular, but there was lots of really cool geological features. This first site is a roadcut in the formation, I believe that I found a sea bed imprint? I'm not sure on it though. Some views of the area I checked out The possible sea bed piece, I'll get a better photo soon. The Second Site View of the site from the pull off The black shale spot, there seems to be multiple different shale layers stacked ontop of eachother here. I spent most of my time collecting in this spot. The orange layer is really odd to me, I'm not sure what causes it. The shale splits pretty easily, which is promising for plant fossils (and maybe fish fossils?) In the corner you can see a little salamander (or newt?) tail. Plant fossil? This looks like a partial plant fossil, but I'm not 100% sure. Another possible plant fossil? Looks fossil-y. A better look at some of today's finds All in all I'd say today was a success, I'm planning on checking out the sites again some time soon. If you'd like closer photos of the pieces I found let me know, I'd be glad to.

From the album: Fossildude's Early Jurassic Fish Fossils
Early Jurassic, East Berlin Formation. Connecticut. Some type of mineral has stained around where the fish fossil was - leaving a ghostly imprint/outline. Hence the picture title. Just a few bits of scale left hanging on to the fossil itself. This is a cool one, to me. Found on December 29th, 2013© © 2014 Tim Jones
