I was recently looking at one of my cephalopod fossils when I came upon this. The only explanation I can come up with is that it is a scolecodont, the jaws of polychaete worms, and these have been found in the Hamilton group before (Arabellites sp.) However, I've never seen pictures of scolecodonts in which the jaw doubles back on itself as it does here. I included an interpretive drawing to show what I am seeing. The size appears to be a little bigger than what my book predicted scolecodonts to be; I cannot give a precise measure because my microscope does not show this information. Am I simp

Hello all, I noticed something unusual when cleaning this rather large brachiopod steinkern. Frankly I am stumped: what do you guys think? Found in Perry County, Pennsylvania. Mahantango formation. Middle Devonian.

Here is a reconstruction of the orthocerid Striacoceras typum, eating one of the last surviving Eldredgeops rana trilobites. Two Botryocrinus crinoids wave in the current, and a colony of Pleurodictyum feeds on planctonic organisms.

After work had the chance to try out a new (to me) outcropping of the Mahantango. While the rock I split was mostly out of situ there was exposure along a cliff that I avoided just to be safe. This area seemed to be a different environment than Mahantango spots I have hunted in the past. There was more crinoids and even some horn corals. I managed to find a few trilobites, mostly Eldredgeops though I did find a partial Greenops. My highlights were the largest Mahantango Eldredgeops I have personally seen (though I am sure someone on here has a larger one!) as

A day collecting elusive Mahantango Trilobites and Phyllocarids.
Dean Ruocco posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hey everyone! The other day me and a few other experienced collectors spent the day out in the Mahantango formation. After moving a literal ton of material we each came home with about 3 or 4 complete trilobites and plenty of other neat associated fauna. I found 2 different specimens that are incredibly interesting/rare a complete trilobite, Dechenella (I have to take the head off the counter part and glue it back onto the body after prep it will be fully complete.). This means I have a complete specimen of every species of trilobite in the Mahantango except the elusive and rare Neometacanth- 4 replies
