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.)

Well, this is my first post in the Hunting Trips section. The week of Thanksgiving, my wife, my daughters and I headed off to Waco, Texas for a three day getaway. It was not supposed to be a fossil trip, but I managed to squeeze in a few stops... Our first stop, on a cold November 22nd afternoon, was the Waco Mammoth Site. It was absolutely spectacular! My kids loved it. It was so amazing to see these huge animals still laying in the spots where they fell, instead of mounted in a museum hall... The next day, I managed to convince my wife to let me scope out the Waco Research Pit. I told her it would only take a few minutes to see what might be there...yeah right. We stopped off at the Corps of Engineers building to sign in and get a parking tag for the car. They were extremely helpful. We drove to the parking area and I left my wife and two year old in the van, while I led my 9 and 5 year olds down the trail to the pit. In the first few minutes, I stumbled across the first ammonite. My kids marveled at the beautiful spiraled shell. A few minutes later I found another. I believe they are Engonoceras serpentinum, but I'm not 100% sure. I also found some what I believe to be Mariella sp. These are the better specimens...

I have dug a number of bivalves and gastropods out of a very friable, crumbly matrix. Anyone have any experience how I can preserve some of the matrix and also make the specimens look good?

On Monday I visited a site north of Morrisville, Madison County, NY. It is a roadcut exposure of the Marcellus Shale, the lowest part of the Hamilton Group. The bottom part is an exposure of the Bridgewater Member and the top is the Oatkacreek Formation. It was my third time there and each visit has presented a different experience: In the spring of 2013 my companion and I explored the talus slopes that cover most of the exposure and found a number of specimens of the top-shaped gastropod, Bembexia subcomarginata along with brachiopods and bivalves. I returned in the spring of 2014, this time exploring the shale outcrops above the talus slope and picked a number of Bembexia right from the shale wall. On Monday I climbed the steep talus slope again and dug into the shale exposure at the top and discovered a thin bed that was rich in well preserved examples of the tiny corkscrew-shaped gastropod, Paleozygopleura. Also found a number of Bembexia, plus bivalves and brachiopods including Grammysia bisculata and Spinocyrtia granulosa, and one pretty large bivalve with both valves preserved that I first thought was a concretion, and the smooth-shelled nautiloid, Michelinoceras.. This is a photo of the road cut with my vehicle in the foreground for scale.

Since I'm new I thought I'd share a pic of my prize find - Wavellite (hydrous aluminum phosphate = the green spiky balls) on a base of several gastropods from the Keyser Formation in Snyder County Pennsylvania.

Last Saturday, 5/23/15, a group of Fossil Forum members from five different northeastern states gathered at a quarry off Deep Springs Road in Lebanon, NY. to hunt for Middle Devonian marine fossils in shale from the Moscow Formation. This writer first visited the site, featured on Karl Wilson's website, in late spring of 2013 and since has returned six times. Last fall I introduced Tim (Fossildude19) to the site and we came up with the idea that this would be an excellent location for a TFF meet up. Tim made the connections and plans with other TFF members, a date was finally agreed upon, and this writer went to the site on the weekend of 5/3-5/4/15 to check out the parking situation and to gain permission from the owner, a local farmer. Primary features of the site are the sheer abundance of fossils (There are fossils on just about every rock.) and biodiversity, just about every type of marine fossil from the Middle Devonian can be found there. The site differs from others further west, especially those in the Finger Lakes/Buffalo region in that it was much closer to the Catskill Delta to the east, therefore the waters were probably cloudier and the fossil assemblage different from those further west. Corals are rare and bivalves, gastropods, and cephalopods more abundant than those other sites in Western New York. The site is located amidst lovely rolling hills, and fields of corn and cows grazing. Many Amish live in the area. Weather that day; cloudless blue sky, temperatures in the low sixties, was perfect for collecting. Tim, from Connecticut was the first to arrive. Then I showed up, then Mike (Pagurus) and his wife, Leila from Massachusetts, then Rob (snakebite 6769) and his family from Vermont, Carmine (xonenine) from Buffalo, NY., and finally Dave (Shamalama) from the Philadelphia area. Here's a group shot taken by this writer.
