After many fossil hunts at Seven Stars, I finally found a large, prone, almost complete Dipleura dekayi! However, the way the shale split when I chiseled it open, all of the body fossil except the pygidium and a few adjacent segments are on one rock, visible ventrally , but with a thin covering of rock, and the imprint of this covering on the other rock. My original idea was to glue it all back together with field consolidant, then use my dremel tips to prep all the way through the one rock to reveal the trilobite dorsally. However, I am a beginner preparator, and have no assurance (I understand that one can never have assurance that preparation will go well) that everything will work out well, and also the cool textured doublure and the associated hypostome fragment would never be able to be seen again, covered by the rest of the cephalon. Another solution is simply to prep it ventrally, which was not what i was originally what I was going for. Is it possible to prep the cephalon off so that it is removable, so that the underside of it can be visible? Are there any suggestions from seasoned preparators about how I should go about preparing this Dipleura dekayi, which is undoubtedly one of the best specimens in my collection? Thanks for any help in advance; if no clear-cut ideas are given, I may not do anything to it just yet. The main rock, with the impression and the posterior segments: The smaller rock that come off, with the ventrally preserved anterior body with some rock covering it. A 20x magnified view of the doublure and hypostome, showing the striated texture similar to that of unrelated trilobites such as Isotelus, which have been suggested to have been for grading prey on.

Found this a couple years ago near Deer Lake, PA. The site is a Devonian aged Mahantango formation location. I split the rock and this was inside. The left and right halves fit together. The specimen is about 5 cm from top to bottom and about 2 cm across. The dimpling pattern is what intrigues me the most. Could it be a type of sponge?

Found this specimen in Pike County, PA. Here are some photos from different angles! This fossil has taken me in all different directions with regards to research. I have been unable to discern what this find may be. If anyone has an idea, I’d love to hear it! (My guess) Lepidodendron or Archaeopteris sapling branch??

Back on Friday, December 22nd, fellow La Familia members @Dean Ruocco, @ChasingGhostsYT, and I collected at a very prolific Devonian site in the Mahantango formation in Pennsylvania. This spot produced small to gigantic black-shelled Eldredgeops rana, which are a very nice change of pace from most Mahantango Eldredgeops that are usually shell-less and orange. Stay tuned for prep photos, I’ll post them as I prep them! Below are photos of my finds from the site. My haul from roughly 4 hours of collecting, 18-ish complete Eldredgeops rana. Below I’ll show only the interesting finds from that day. My largest Eldredgeops rana from the site, also the largest I’ve ever personally collected. Nearly 4 inches if outstretched! My smallest find, a pretty decent little roller. Loose rollers of varying sizes A decent double-plate, one fractured prone and a roller. A prone that is missing half of the cephalon Dean, Me, and Zach posing infront of where we dug. Dean falling and smashing a large Wendy’s soda after collecting.
