    New York Ordovician Jellyfish?

    I’m helping fellow forum member @DrDave move and we came across this piece he collected from the Whetstone Gulf formation a couple years back. My immediate thought was “holy ___ that’s a jellyfish!!” but I can’t say for certain but oh my gosh if it’s not a jelly then it’s done a wonderful job at looking like one lol. any thoughts from the folks here ??

  5. Went to visit some family this weekend and had a couple free mornings to dig at a favorite spot of mine in the Buffalo area. @Fossildude19 and I met up on my second trip to this creek and we tried to make the best out of poor weather conditions and high water levels. With his assistance I was able to carefully open a very nice complete Eldredgeops sp. trilobite; he also came away with an awesome trilobite death assemblage. The weather did not cooperate very much on either day, but I would definitely call this a successful haul. Haven't had the chance to clean up the other finds, but here are my best completes from the trip. Just a bit missing on this one, but when it is dry it shows some really cool spotted camouflage Smaller, but more inflated. Near miss on damaging this one The prone trilobite I found with @Fossildude19. This is probably the best quality Eldredgeops I have found to date.

    Gemworld 2023

    I want to let everyone know that this upcoming weekend is going to be Gemworld 2023. This show is hosted by my local club, The Gem & Mineral Society of Syrause. If anyone happens to be in the area this weekend you should stop on in. I also wanted to show you all an old find from I believe Spring of 2015. Over the years I have found quite a few good size Dipluera dekayi trilobites. The one I will be posting pics of, is the only one left in my family's possession. I gave it to my oldest Son, who in turn gave it to his Sister. I got it from her last night as I am putting together a trilobite display for the show and will be showing this off. Right now with some cephalon and pygidium missing it measures 6 1/4 inches long with missing parts it would be about 6 1/2- 6 3/4 inches. I am really looking forward to the show and hope some of you can make it.

    Niagara Falls Rock Quarry

    Has anyone been to the Niagara Stone quarry (LaFarge)? I have permission to go collect there and am not sure what to expect as of genera and tools that would be useful. Feel free to PM me.
  8. Here is a story about my worst collecting blunder yet. This happened about a month ago at this point, I am still embarrassed by this story but I thought it would be worth sharing for a few reasons. As many can agree, one of the biggest struggles in this hobby is the amount of space these fossils can take up. I live in a smaller apartment and the way I make this work is by trimming some of these fossils with a wet-saw. This has worked very well for me for years and does a better job keeping the fossils safe rather than the force of striking with a hammer and chisel. If I find something really remarkable, I don't risk breaking it in the field and I take it home to cut with the saw. I was cutting a disarticulated Trimerus sp trilobite from a boulder that I found in the Rochester Shale this winter, field picture here: I found these pieces separated like this and thought that this disarticulated cephalon went to this body. Cool find, my first Trimerus partials. But just in case there was some more fossil under that matrix I gave it some clearance until I buy some prep equipment. I cut the rock in two places to section out the thorax. Assuming that the cephalon above was associated with the body was my first mistake. My second mistake was not saving this rock until I had a chance to prep it. Since the remaining rock was a good sized chunk I decided to check for some Rochester Shale fossils A few hits with my hammer on the side of the shale revealed this.... Another Trimerus head sliced cleanly by the saw, just over 2 inches long (the size of my largest trilobite). Terrific. If there is any bright side to this, I think the cephalon is cut along the border where it would connect with the thorax. The picture above doesn't show it well, but the fossil is folded under the surface. It looks like this is where the second eye might be (about where my ring and pinky finger are pointing). At first I thought I sliced it in half, but now I am not sure. Here is everything puzzled back together as well as I could. Either way, a big lesson learned here. I am still interested to see how these connect with each other, or if there is any more in this matrix. Have to get some prepping tools now.

    Petrified wood

    I found this near a waterfall in Broome county New York
  21. Looking for someone in the Erie or Cattaraugus co. NY area to go fossil hunting with. I’ve put hours of research into potential sites and would love to bounce them off of a local familiar with the area. Would also be appreciative if someone could show me around the area. A few hours of travel is okay as well. There just seems to be a theme of posted streams or stream segments and I want to make sure I’m following the law.
  22. Does anyone know what it may be or if it’s even a fossil? It looks very symmetrical.
