From the album: 2018 National Fossil Day, Delaware Style
Set up at Ashland Nature Center to show how fossils are extracted from loosely packed sand matrix. I decided this block probably wasn't going to have anything rare an d exciting in it, so I invited some helpers when things were quiet.© c. 2017 Heather J M Siple Photography

Hello - I'm new to this forum. I appreciate any information that you ladies and gents could provide! Thank you in advance! I've had this object all my life - I found it in Northern California when I was a child. I always thought it looked like a walnut. Perhaps it is, or perhaps it's just an unusual rock. It is rock-like in terms of its weight & feel. The middle "band" goes all the way around - similar to the band that seperates the two halves of a walnut. Thanks!

Some more closeups of this awesome fossil I found. Quick question as well whenever I turn the fossil in the light I can see some glitter, should I soak this in water for a few hours to be sure? Don't want this ruining

Today 's plan was to hunt for Dipleura dekayi trilobites. I was hoping to go to the classic Sangerfield site which I have had good luck in the past. But the boys said they wanted to go to Deep Springs Road. Having found some Dipleura material there in the past, I wasn't to disappointed as I knew there was possibility to find one there as well. Today was absolutely beautiful. We arrived at the site exactly at 10:30. I decided before we even arrived to work a section the somebody else had dug in pretty good, and I have held back on digging in that spot the past couple times I have been there. Immediately i was finding Greenops cephalons, pygidiums and partial body frags. Eventually a found one Eldredgeops rana cephalon. Then finally there came Dipleura parts. I found mostly cephalons and isolated body segments. Then finally a pretty big pygidium. That is when I started feeling like I was getting close to a whole one. At this point we had been there awhile and I had moved a lot of rock. The boys were finding their own prizes. Every 2 seconds it was "Dad look what I found" "Dad what is this"" Dad what is that". Then I dug the chisel in one more time and I got a big chunk loose. I flipped it over and there it was a smaller but still decent Dipleura! But something is wrong, where is the cephalon? It did not take long to figure out that my chisel took out the poor trilos face! I can't lie, my heart broke right there. Especially because the body and pygidium looked pretty well preserved. Oh well. I went to work to remove what was there. The body came right off the matrix and left the tail behind. I was able to salvage it and superglued it when I got home. So not to shabby. What is there measures 2 3/4 inches. Also I found a pretty complete Greenops. One of the eyes popped off, so that got glued as well. All in all it was areally nice hunt and time well spent with my boys. Here are some pics. I hope you enjoy. 1st Dipleura with negative 2nd Greenops with negative

Picked this item up on a hillside in Hunt TX a few weeks back. The texture is fairly rough and it is heavier than equivalent sized rocks. I believe it is geological but not sure what but am wondering if it's an inner cast. Not sure what the cast would be of. The area is Cretaceous. Thoughts?

Picked up a piece of limestone in a creek bed Between Hunt and Ingram TX. What Is this? More importantly, how would be the best way to get it out of the matrix? I believe the area is Cretaceous.
