While it’s nowhere near as nice to look at as a complete bug, this is still a pretty peculiar fossil. It’s a ventral Eldredgeops rana cephalon with the hypostome still attached, something you don’t see very often. Collected from the Middle Devonian Windom Member of the Moscow Formation, Central NY on August 19, 2022.© Owen Yonkin 2022

A reconstruction of the Mahantango Formation
Bringing Fossils to Life posted a topic in Paleo Re-creations
I just finished a reconstruction of the Mahantango ecosystem, based off of fossils I have found at corresponding sites. This certainly does not cover all species in this formation, but many of the most prominent (Sorry no Dipleura, haven't done that one yet). I recently learned about Striacoceras and re-identified many of my orthocerids as this obscure genus. Striacoceras is the brown orthocone in the background. I included two crinoid genera, (left to right) Ancyrocrinus and Botryocrinus. an Eldredgeops searches for prey. There are several Mucrospirifer brachiopods, some Orthonota bivalves, a -
After work had the chance to try out a new (to me) outcropping of the Mahantango. While the rock I split was mostly out of situ there was exposure along a cliff that I avoided just to be safe. This area seemed to be a different environment than Mahantango spots I have hunted in the past. There was more crinoids and even some horn corals. I managed to find a few trilobites, mostly Eldredgeops though I did find a partial Greenops. My highlights were the largest Mahantango Eldredgeops I have personally seen (though I am sure someone on here has a larger one!) as

I recently went to Penn Dixie for the first time and was not disappointed. Our tour guide first showed us the youngest rocks, then the pyrite. Here I found a tiny juvenile Tornoceras, Bactrites, and out guide showed us that individual septum can be found (see this post). I also found a fragment of a non-pyritized tiny Eldredgeops thorax. I found what HynerpetonHunter says is worm coprolites, and a few tiny brachiopods. Then, we went to the place where phosphate can be found. After that, we stayed a little at the place where fossils from the oldest layer were deposited in the soil, and I found

After almost 2 years I finally got my swam blaster up and running. Got to prep my first fossil since June 2019! Here are a few pieces I’ve done so far.

The popular collected trilobite Phacops rana is well embedded in literature for over a hundred years. Then in 1990 it was renamed Eldredgeops rana. A lot of collectors did not understand why the name change and I would like to attempt to clarify why the change. The purpose of this post is to point out the differences I have observed between Phacops and Eldredgeops and explain why "rana" is an Eldredgeops and not a Phacops. The literature on phacopid systematics is in a mild state of disarray. Authors have built on the errors of previous authors. There is no good English diagnostic descrip

Creek Bug Eldredgeops rana (Trilobite) Middle Devonian, Moscow formation New York I found this trilobite in Sept. 2019 and never shared it. Or did I Anyway, I was hiking in a stream going from one location to another and found this trilobite after my girlfriend stepped on it Not her fault really. She's busy looking out for spiders, webs to spiders, and giant web wrapping people up spiders. I saw the telltale black of the trilobites exo and knew what it was (note the algae staining on the matrix). This site isn't a place where we go to collect bugs. This is o
