I found a few plates of sandstone that I really liked a few years back in Lockport, NY. I believe they are from the Silurian Grimsby formation. I don't remember nearly anything about trace fossils. My first guess from just googling before making this post was arthrophycus. Can anyone tell me what kind of trace fossil is present in these pieces? 1. 2. 3. 4.

So still going thru items from my Deep Spring Road quarry dig 2 years ago. The ruler marks are mm. Below is a shell I "believe" is a bivalve. I think Goniophora sp. Any ideas please?

Hi everyone, I recently took a trip down to New York for fossil and mineral hunting and I found this cephalopod(?) fossil on a Utica road cut. Any ideas on species or if it is a cephalopod? A friend said it could be pyritized, but I'm not sure.

So still going thru items from my Deep Spring Road quarry dig 2 years ago. The ruler marks are mm. Below are a few items I'm looking for ideas on. First 2 are bryozones I think, 3rd is ????, it consists of the negative which is the tan imprint on the upper left and the positive which is flipped up to the right.

I just took my Phyllocarids out of storage and put them back on display in the collection room. All of these extinct crustaceans were found in New York State. Two of the specimens have their complete mandibles (jaws) and all three Devonian Phyllocarids have their telsons (tails). The Silurian Phyllocarid from the Pittsford Black Shale is extremely rare. These are rare fossils and complete specimens are absent in most collections. They have been in boxes for a few years now and it didnt feel right keeping them in the dark. Most people that view my collection don't understand or find them intere

Anyone know of good places in NY (close to NYC and Long Island) for fossil hunting ? Penn Dixie is way too far and I heard there are some good Devonian fossils in the Catskills. Any spot where I can find a sea scorpion or trilobite ?

Finally getting around to posting some of my New York Devonian Penn Dixie matrix finds! So much neat crinoid stuff, the occasional trilo bit and some other goodies! Someday, I hope to visit and maybe find some "Big" stuff! The CRINOIDS.....so many amazing shapes. I love Crinoid Geometry: (all are around 2-5 mm) The Trilo Bits: (2-5mm) probably Eldredgeops A friend was trying to type in Pygidium and it auto corrected to Pudgy Idiom.....so yeah. That's what they are now. Plus this nice sized one (5mm) in situ with a crinoid!

Hello everyone! I have been recently going over some of the matrix I collected over the summer, more specifically, stuff from the Lower Devonian Kalkberg Formation in NY. I have found many nice new brachiopods which is what I was looking for, like a fairly nice preserved Leptaena which I was really excited about as I didn't get any initially and they are really beautiful. While cleaning out that brachiopod this fossil also popped out of the rock, I saw its cross-section and initially didn't think much of it but when I got it in hand it appeared to be a trilobite cephalon, it is

found this about 15yrs ago never been able to find another on the web , maybe you can tell me what it is ( its definitely a beak with two rows of teeth and clearly a tongue in the center)

Hello, I've been recently fascinated by large isotelus trilobites. Does anyone on here own one and would like to show and talk about it, I would if I owned one but I don't see that happening anytime soon haha. This is the largest I've seen for sale so far that would've been 8 inches, would be nice to be able to find one but I don't have that luxury.

Hi y'all, I went to the AMNH literally days before NY (and the world) shut down. There definitely seemed to be less people than I presumed was usual. Despite spending just a couple of hours there, I can say it's my favorite museum. Unlike many museums, most of the specimens on display are complete or mostly actual fossils. I really want to go back to take my time and comb through the entire museum. I wish I took more pictures - guess I was too busy admiring it all. You can tour the museum yourself on Google Earth (the link should drop you right into the Saurichian hall).

These are two fossils of the same species collected at the Long Pond Road Site along the Erie Canal in Greece, New York. They are from the middle Silurian Rochester shale. These were collected last winter, and I have since been unable to identify them. Both are no greater than 3cm in length. Some interesting fine detail is visible on the first specimen. The American dime is 1.8cm in diameter.

This is a fossil I collected at the Long Pond Road Site along the Erie Canal in Greece, New York. It is from the middle Silurian Rochester shale. Some interesting perpendicular lines can be seen along the edge of it. I have looked for other fossils similar to this one and have found nothing. The American dime is 1.8cm in diameter.

My son (9 years old) collects rocks and found this "rock" in a stream near our house. We are located in the Tug Hill Region of New York State. The area has shale starting about 45 cm below the sod layer. I have looked and cannot determine what they are, but there seems to be some Ordovician fossils. Thanks for the info!!

Here’s a upper Devonian paleoniscoid fish I found in 18 mile creek - Erie county,NY this spring. seems to be similar to fish found in younger stratigraphy Linton deposits from Ohio area. Been hard to find any specific info on Devonian fish found in New York, perhaps a rare find? Has anyone found anything similar in western NY?

Hiya! I got some New York Devonian matrix (Penn Dixie) and would appreciate some help (or confirmation!) with the ID's of a few thingies. Thanks!! 1. Is this a fish tooth perhaps? Size 1/8 inch 2.Is this a Trilobite cephalon? Size 1/8 inch 3. I thought this was a coral, but saw on the Penn Dixie site something that looked like it but it said it was a Fish Plate? Size 1/4 inch 4. Not sure what this is....probably part of a crinoid? Size 1/8 inch 5. Not sure at all. Flat plate Size 1/8 inch

From the album: Middle Ordovician Trenton Group in New York
Meadowtownella trentonensis free cheek Middle Ordovician Trenton Group Plattsburgh area, New York Collected May, 2020 -
Hello all: Attached is a picture of what I believe is a fossilized skull that I found sitting in the grass on top of the soil in Fort Greene Park, located in Brooklyn, New York City (in the area known of Brooklyn known as Fort Greene). The fossil is approximately 1 and 1/2 inches long. I struggled to decide which photos to add. What you cannot see in the attached photos is the other side of the fossil, which preserved quite distinctly nasal cavities. I'm a lawyer, and I do not have any background in paleontology, though I did take geology 101

Hello everyone! So I was cleaning off a rock today and on it I found this tiny hypostome. I was wondering if anybody has an idea of what species this may have come from. This rock came from a site in North-Central NY that exposes the Ordovician Trenton Group. Thanks for looking!

Greetings everybody! While I was on my fishing trip last weekend I took some time to look for fossils. I collected at a couple of creeks exposing the Middle Ordovician Trenton Group in North-Central NY. I found lots of trilo-bits and other goodies! Enjoy

Hi everyone, an interesting fossil was found near Montague NY, most likely Glenerie Formation. Can this be the tail section of a Trilobite? Can anyone help with species ID if possible? Thanks to all that can help

A Day in the Lower Devonian with the New York Paleontological Society
Jeffrey P posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Yesterday, Tim (Fossildude19) and myself met at our usual meeting spot and with Tim driving and his downloads playing, we headed north to a planned rendezvous with the New York Paleontological Society's outing at Cobleskill Stone Products just outside Schoharie, N.Y. The weather was gorgeous- perfect really, sunny mid-50s. Fall colors were in full swing. We drove through the northern edge of the Catskills, arriving early at our rendezvous, the parking lot at the Cobleskill Stone Company. It was my first time there since 2013. I went on two previous NY Paleontological Society outings to this si- 28 replies
