Took my first Cambrian hunt. While I did not find much I did get a positive and a negative of two different trilobite cephalons. I am away for the weekend so unfortunately do not have measurements on these.

Purchased this Olenellus getzi online. From the original Getz farm site where thousands of Olenellids and a few Radiodonts were found. Small for the species at an inch and a half long.-

A ventrally preserved, complete Olenellus thompsoni. Needs to be prepped out by someone else haha. I managed to get the entire body out with only one nick, but those thoracic spines are too much for me! -

A puny Olenellus (Paedumias) yorkensis that I split out at home. The rest of the bug lays buried under the rock until I send it to someone who doesn’t destroy fossils when they prep em. -
Larval Olenellus plate. Look close!

Another meraspid Olenellus plate. Look at the fused eyes! -
From the album: My Kinzers Formation Fossil Collection
Another heartbreaker. I think this is an Olenellus thompsoni. Would’ve been gorgeous with the other half, maybe we’ll find it in the future. -
From the album: My Kinzers Formation Fossil Collection
A nice Olenellus thompsoni(??) that was partially weathered. Still has its axial spine though! -
Rock covered in larval Olenellid cephalons. Look closely!

From the album: My Kinzers Formation Fossil Collection
One of my favorite finds. This rock is covered in larval Olenellid molts. I wonder if we hit a nursery of some kind? -

A heartbreaker. Olenellus of some kind. -
From the album: My Kinzers Formation Fossil Collection
A cool plate, Olenellus (Paedumias) yorkensis cephalon as well as an O. thompsoni cephalon. I’m convinced that yellow mark may be a sponge. -
My three inch Wanneria walcottana!

The best Wanneria walcottana we found. Three inches from the tip of the cephalon to the last thoracic spine. -

Hello again! I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for places in the north east US (around PA) that I could research? As was suggested to me, I’ve narrowed down the things I’d like to collect. I’m really interested in fossils that.. well look like things. Don’t get me wrong, shells and crinoids are exciting! But I’d be so jazzed to have fish, crustaceans, insects, or plants. Anomalocaris are so rad, though I fully understand that those are hard to find so I’m going to focus on other stuff for now lol. Maybe someday. My dad in particular wanted me to ask if anyone knew of any ea

Yesterday I traveled to vintage pa in the hopes of finding Cambrian fossils or more specifically Anomalocaris fossils which had been found in a former quarry nearby and in the same formation I was hunting. I went to an outcropping of the kinzers formation that I saw on the Wikipedia Image that I have attached, but after an hour of splitting rocks I didn’t find anything recognizable. I was hoping someone knew if I was doing something wrong or if it was just not a good spot? thanks, Noel
