I acquired this specimen nearly a year ago, and have been puzzling over its true identity. I was told it was a Yunnanozoon, but I doubted that. I recently got digital microscope, and took a picture of the fossil using it, and it revealed something strange. Legs, or something that looks similar. It looks kinda like a lobopod, but it’s tiny. The specimen pictured is about 1.5cm long and the legs are barely visible to the naked eye. Any ideas what it could be? I made a post when I first got it with pics of the full plate

Here's an enigmatic specimen that has puzzled me. There are other specimens that have been found. One researchers opinion was it was a Telson that washed around and became "loosie goosey", Another's was its from Dolichopterus which also could make sense. Others have said its from some sort of Pyllocarid or a Acanthodian. I personally agree with the Telson theory but id love to hear your opinions!!

A new lower Cambrian Lagerstatte from China! They surmised this was a nursery, but will doubtless add to our understanding of the Chengjiang and Burgess Shale fauna. Interesting there was no mention of the Cambrian explosion. https://www.livescience.com/cambrian-paleonursery-haiyan-lagerstatte.html

Hey everyone I recently heard about a paper on the definition of "Lagerstätte" (see attached); and it did raise an interesting question - "Can a trace fossil site be called a Lagerstätte?" What do you guys think about this? -Christian On_the_definition_of_Lagerstatte.pdf

He felt that there surely must be additional lagerstätte of this type is just nobo

As I mentioned in my last post, the Cincinnati Dry Dredgers now have a members blog to record our fossil hunting trips. Last time, I blogged about the fossils in the Ordovician tri-state area (Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana), and this time I start the first of a two-part series about the Triassic fossils of the Solite Quarry. Read about our favorite Triassic Lagerstätte here.

I found these 2 types of near perfect bivalves in the North Sulphur River (Cretaceous Ozan or Wolf City Formations) a fraction of a km upstream from the highway 2675 bridge east of Ben Franklin, Texas. The first 2 photos might be Anomia argentaria (commonly known as jingle shells) preserved as original shiny silvery grey shells. They are about 2 cm wide. The second 2 photos are of 4 oysters. Note the top left one with both top and bottom shells that are attached to an Inoceramus clam. I think that these might be Pseudoperna congesta since they are found in colonies attached to Inoceramus clams
