I've recently attempted to start preparing the fossils I collected in upstate NY. With a lot of trial and error and some nicked specimens, I have started to get used to my primitive preparation set-up consisting of a nail, a sewing needle and a hammer. Here's a disarticulated greenops which was great practice: On a side note, I've noticed that freshly exposed shell is a nice black. Would anyone know how to get that back?

I found this last Saturday in Brookfield, Madison County, New York. It’s pretty beat up but there are some features that can still be made out. I was wondering if it might be a bellacartwrightia rather than a greenops, which was my original thought. According to Karl A. Wilson’s Field Guide to the Devonian Fossils of New York, one way to tell the difference is the number of lenses in the eye in a vertical row. For greenops there is maximum of 6. This trilobite has 7 in some places. A picture of the eye, showing a vertical row of 7 lenses. A top view of the tr

As indicated in an earlier post, I found lots of trilobites while on the field trip with the NYPS on Saturday. At DSR I found lots of greenops cephalons and pygidiums and even a few 60 percenters. I also found a few Eldredgeops pygidiums and one well preserved cephalon at DSR. (And a couple random Dipleura pieces). At the second spot, which was brand new to the NYPS, I found tons of greenops. I found 30+ greenops. Mostly cephalons, pygidiums or thoracic segments. I managed to find 3 or 4 60% completes and 5 or 6 fully completes. No Eldredgeops at the second spot. The layer I wa

Final Episode of Belated DSR Trip: Arthropods, Cephalopods, etc.
Peat Burns posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Here is the final installment of my trip report to DSR (last spring with TFF group meet). These are the rest of the specimens including Gastropoda, Cephalopoda, Hyolitha, Phyllocarida, Trilobita, Ectoprocta, Plantae, etc. Scale in mm. A Palaeozygopleura encrusted with the bryozoan Leptotrypella amplectens. A close-up of Leptotrypella amplectens I am not sure what this is. I am assuming gastropod, but unlike the Bellarophontids, this one doesn't seem to have the ridge or furrow down the center. It's also q- 12 replies

Spring of 2020 We took advantage of the time off and the break in weather to hunt one of our favorite streams here in Western New York. This was just a spring scouting mission to see what was exposed after the ice and snow has melted. Some of the more interesting finds were a crinoid crown (very rare for this locality) possibly Logocrinus, Spinocyrtia granulosa open with both valves, Orthospirifer marcyi, a large Megastrophia concava cleaned by nature with epibionts, and 3 small nearly complete Greenops. We also found many small Favosites coral colonies, large Heliophyllum corals, and 8 d

Hey everyone, Back again. Couldn’t resist lol. I figure I could offer up some positivity during these uncertain times. Unfortunately it’s getting pretty serious in New York State with C19 cases blowing up. Our family business is under some stresses and I had to make some difficult decisions today so this post is also a little therapy for me. I really love paleontology it allows my mind to wander away from the present! I got back out into the field again this past weekend on Saturday 3/14/20 and Sunday 3/15/20. This time of year I have very little to do other than go hi

This partial trilobite is from the Middle Devonian Thunder Bay Formation. Assuming it's either Pseudodechenella (P. reimanni) or Greenops (G. alpenensis) based on common taxa in faunal list. @piranha is there enough here to assign a genus? This has been eroded by wave action. Scale in mm.

Just thought I'd share some finds from a club trip to the Devonian of Iowa last Sunday. It was a good trip. A nice clam. This Greenops disintegrated shortly after exposure. Crassiproetus sp. Before After. Enrolled Greenops sp. and Eldredgeops noorwoodensis Group shot

Hello forum folks I went to DSR again yesterday 10/05/19 as I had another free day to go collecting. I may not being able to fossil hunt until the end of the month so I had to take advantage! I have been noticing the phyllocarids are coming from certain intervals lower in the quarry...could be nothing....could be somthing....before I assumed I figured I should test it. I knew the exact bedding plane my last Echinocaris came from so I planned on opening a shelf on that bedding plane. My thought was if I could find another phyllocarid on that bedding plane maybe it coul

This may seem like an obvious question but I’ve always wondered what specific structural differences are present between a Greenops and a Bellacartwrightia. Any help would be appreciated!

I found some unusual structures under the exoskeleton of this Greenops (Middle Devonian) They are auburn brown and somewhat translucent, reminiscent of the material that makes up the exoskeleton of the adult. I only found them concentrated in the area where the exoskeleton of the trilobite came free of the matrix. They are embedded in the matrix there. I did not find any outside of this area in the surrounding matrix. There are a total of 6 of them that are exposed. They are not ostracods. They could be spores, I guess. They could be lots of things, and their concentration within the t

Decided to tackle prepping this greenops today that I found at Penn Dixie a few weeks back. Part of the cephalon broke off in the negative, but the glue job worked OK. There is still some digging needed to expose the right cheek and pleural tips but they should (hopefully) be there. A fold along that side buried them deep in the matrix. Not a perfect bug but my best greenops found so far

Hey all, My sister had a friend in town and it was my turn to come up with an activity, so naturally I took them out fossil hunting! I picked DSR since there is a 100% guarantee that everyone who looks will find something. I spent most of the time there ripping up slabs for my sister and her friend to split down. Unfortunately a thunderstorm rolled in and we had to leave early, so there is a sizeable pile of fresh material waiting for whomever gets there next. The girls found some good stuff- brachs, crinoids, and a few dipleura & greenops cephalons. I had the lucky find
