Finding a large specimen of Chaetetes sponge in the middle of a snowy park
Pauli W. posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
On one of the last days of 2021, my daughter and I went for a walk to my favorite place. This is a forest stream in the Troparevo Park. I have been interested in these places for several years from the point of view of observing an island of nature within a large metropolis. I observe many species of birds, insects and plants there. There are species listed in the Red Book of Moscow. Here is an example of a very rare insect "Conocephalus dorsalis" - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/93245215, which I observed in August. I hope that my observation will be taken into account when compiling a new edition of the Red Book of Moscow in 2022. Let's go back to the fossils. In the stream there are fragmentary Paleozoic rocks (carboniferous) brought here by a glacier from the north of Russia. Below are the photos taken on the day of the walk (18.12.21): Chaetetes sponge photo: I hope that I will soe a more complete account of my modest finds in this place.

Hello everyone! I want to tell you about a trip to a stream in a snow-covered park. I took my three-year-old daughter (who has already helped me search for fossils) on a trip. Konkovsky or Stone stream is located on the territory of the Bitsevsky Forest Park (the southern outskirts of Moscow), I had information (https://www.ammonit.ru/foto/61829.htm ) that carboniferous rocks accessible as a result of glaciations (quaternary moraine deposits) can be found there. The temperature on the day of the trip was -2...- 5oC (28...25oF) with a very unpleasant cold wind at a speed of 6 m/s. The entire bottom of the stream is really covered with moraine stone. As a result, I was able to briefly examine about 20% of the stream. Brachiopods replaced with flint were found. The imprint of a large single coral rugosa. As a result, there are prospects for further finds, I plan to explore the stream in a more favorable environment to the place of its confluence with the Chertanovka River. And in early spring, start searching on the Chertanovka River itself.

Greetings from a novice amateur of paleontology from Moscow
Pauli W. posted a topic in Member Introductions
Greetings to the forum participants! My name is Pauli or Pavel. I am from Moscow (Russia). Newcomer to paleontology since 2021. I adored dinosaurs as a child! Now I have two small children and they also adore dinosaurs and help me look for fossils! In our region there are deposits of Carboniferous, Jurassic and Cretaceous, as well as Quaternary moraine deposits. Among the fossils, the inhabitants of the seas predominate (brachiopods, gastropods, belemnites, ammonites, sea urchins, sea lilies, etc.). I will be glad to share some of my modest finds. Below in the photo are some of the places of my finds (forest streams).

Bivalve mollusks. Perlovitsa (genus Unio) vs. Praemyonia (?)
Pauli W. posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Comparison of river bivalve (genus Unio) and fossil bivalve mollusk of the Carbon (presumably Praemyonia). The find was made in quaternary moraine deposits containing carboniferous rocks. The photo also shows the moment of the discovery (October 2021).
