Hello and Happy New Year to all of my Fossil Friends! Yesterday and today I put in my first 2 hunts of the year. The weather here has been mild and I almost went fishing instead. But the fossil gods were calling to me and I couldn't resist their siren song. I decided to visit a site that I haven't been to for awhile. I am sorry but a have made a New Years resolution to no longer name locations for the world to see. This is a site that I have gone a few times with minimal results. Mainly it is a rather large site and the rock is hard to work. But I knew the potential for nice finds were there.

Some gastropod specimens I collected in Western PA. in December in calcareous shale (Ames Limestone- Pennsylvanian) . Can you help with the genus IDs? Thanks.

Found these, my first Pennsylvanian Age marine fossils in calcareous shale in a road cut in western Pennsylvania on a recent trip. According to the Fossil Collecting in Pennsylvania guide, the formation is the Ames Limestone. Any help with IDs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. 1.)

Anybody have any idea of the genus or species?

Hello everyone, I've had this topic on my mind for a while now and thought I'd ask the forum to see if anyone has any knowledge or information related to this. We all know about the various transitions to land done by plants, arthropods and most famously tetrapods but one I don't see often discussed is that of gastropods. I wanted to ask here if anyone has any resources where I could learn more about this transition(s) I think it would be really interesting to know when, and how it happened. I don't even know if we have much information about this since snails don't tend to foss

Hello and happy New Year! I have visited this region a couple of times, earliest being around 2000 and last time just a few days before the NY Eve. My first visit was limited in Chaeronea, in order to visit the Marble Lion that was erected in honour of the fallen soldiers of Theba, who fought against Philip, father of Alexander the Great. The battle took place in 338BC, technically was a civil war between the city state of Athens and Macedonia. (The Lion) Following the road South of the lion, I found my first rudist on a dirt road. All I can say i

Hi Everyone, Last month I took a trip from New York to Elizabethtown, Kentucky to attend my parents' 70th anniversary. My sister and her husband, two of her adult children, and my parents, both in their 90s have all resettled there. I try to visit them at least once per year, but my parents' 70th wedding anniversary could not be missed. It is a very long trip from the suburbs of New York City to E-Town and a stop along the way was the sensible thing to do, so I spent the night in Harrison, Ohio near the border with Indiana and only 15 minutes from St. Leon, the well known Ordovician roadc

Hello, here are some pics of my finds from Whiskey Bridge that I did earlier this year. I really enjoy this site as to the variety of fossils to be found and the nice preservation of them. First one is: Rotularia lepstostoma (worm tube) I thought it was a funky gastropod until I looked it up.

I joined with the hopes that someone here may know more about Natlandite fossil stone. My wife inherited a polished three piece set and unfortunately there is very little information available about it online. Within the two articles I could find we have learned that "it was first discovered in 1954 in Los Angeles, Ca. by geologist Manley L. Natland, during a small dig he made in his offices backyard. He was given a rock brought up during soil testing for an annex to the old Atlantic Richfield Building at 6th and Flower streets. Natland estimated the fossil st

Yesterday I was able to get out to Onondaga County in central NY. While I was there I got a chance to do some fossil hunting at two locations. The first was in Pompey Center, NY near Pratt’s Falls. The second location was a creek in Delphi Falls. The rock at both of these locations was the Skaneateles formation. I was able to get into a different formation at the second spot that was more shaly and had better preservation. This was my first time fossil hunting in the middle Devonian and I was amazed with the number of bivalves I found. (I’ve never found one in the lower Devonian near me). As w

So this trip report is a little late in coming, but it's because the week before last was a lot to process! Just saying it was amazing would be an understatement. The Sunday before last I found the Xiphactinus with @Jared C that I've already posted about (and plan to provide an update on as soon as I'm done writing this). On Tuesday I had a job interview at the Waco Mammoth Site, and on Wednesday I got the job! Then I spent the weekend in Glen Rose, joining other volunteers from the Dallas Paleontological Society in helping Glen Kuban clean and map the dinosaur trackways recently uncovered by

In the summer of 2020 jpc and I had planned to get together in Eastern Wyoming to collect. That trip was unfortunately aborted by the coronavirus outbreak that year. This year, that conversation resumed and a new plan for a three day excursion in June emerged. I decided to make it a two week long car trip, driving all the way from New York, a longer car trip than any I've made in the past 25 years. That would afford me the opportunity to stop at some other sites on the way there and back, plus see some family. Another big reason for driving was an opportunity to visit and collect at the Big Ce

Western PA Specimen Collection - Fossils of Parks Township
cngodles posted a topic in Member Collections
Hopefully I'm not breaking any rules here posting a link. I spent my weekend finally putting my catalog into a proper database, and creating a user interface for it. I used to use Google Sheets, which is pretty great. If I wanted to, I could use them as the source of data, but I decided to create a proper MYSQL database so I can keep relationships across tables, such as the stratigraphy of particular find locations. I have many more improvements coming for it, but it is at least functional right now. Everything from CG-0001 to CG-0161 is from the Glenshaw Formation, Conemaugh Group- 6 replies

Gastropods (Hormotoma?) and bryozoans (maybe), Upper Ordovician
Rogue Embryo posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
A couple of finds at Mimico Creek (gastropods, ) and Lake Ontario (bryozoans? coral colony?) ... Thanks for any assistance! Camille -
Hello, I have recently found some gastropods in a village of Teruel, East of Spain. They are from Albian Cretaceous. Visiting the local museum has not solved my doubts about their identification, they had some gastropods as mine, but, to my unexperienced eyes, there were identical specimens under different labels: Paraglauconia picteti, Cardium Voltzi, Glauconia lujani, Orthostoma verneuilli, Turritella vidalina and Cassiope luxani. I am sure it is not Cardium Voltzi, as it is a bivalve, I have doubts about Glauconia lujani and Cassiope luxani being synonims, and I haven´t been able

Hello again, I found these tiny specimens today, and I'm not quite sure what they are. If I had to guess, I'd say the spiral shelled creature is Amphiscapha and the more clamish one looks a bit like Kozlowskia without the little side wings. No idea what the last one is. As always, all help is greatly appreciated. Also, sorry about the bad pics, these are quite small specimens.

My parents were gifted this piece years ago and now that is has passed to me, I was curious to find out details. I see gastropods and a shell. The piece is almost a foot long with a bright green felt attachment on the back. Unsure if they received it in Australia or in America. Any other information or feedback is greatly appreciated.
