Tornoceras sp. (goniatite) Middle Devonian Upper Ludlowville Formaion Hamilton Group Geer Road Quarry Lebanon, NY. collected 8/24/15 -
Monday I collected at a site that was new to me- near Canajoharie, NY. The site is Ordovician Age, but I'm not sure about the formation- possibly Utica Shale or Canajoharie Shale. The rock was a dark gray shale. Graptolites were abundant. Straight-shelled nautiloids and Isotelus trilobite parts were also found. Also found these which I cannot identify. Let me know what you think. The perforated bump in the second photo lies above a graptolite

This fossil was extracted from a rock (shale?) filled with many fossils. It was found on the shore of the East River in Brooklyn, New York. I am not sure about the time period. Can anyone give me more specific details about it?

Last Saturday, 5/23/15, a group of Fossil Forum members from five different northeastern states gathered at a quarry off Deep Springs Road in Lebanon, NY. to hunt for Middle Devonian marine fossils in shale from the Moscow Formation. This writer first visited the site, featured on Karl Wilson's website, in late spring of 2013 and since has returned six times. Last fall I introduced Tim (Fossildude19) to the site and we came up with the idea that this would be an excellent location for a TFF meet up. Tim made the connections and plans with other TFF members, a date was finally agreed upon, and this writer went to the site on the weekend of 5/3-5/4/15 to check out the parking situation and to gain permission from the owner, a local farmer. Primary features of the site are the sheer abundance of fossils (There are fossils on just about every rock.) and biodiversity, just about every type of marine fossil from the Middle Devonian can be found there. The site differs from others further west, especially those in the Finger Lakes/Buffalo region in that it was much closer to the Catskill Delta to the east, therefore the waters were probably cloudier and the fossil assemblage different from those further west. Corals are rare and bivalves, gastropods, and cephalopods more abundant than those other sites in Western New York. The site is located amidst lovely rolling hills, and fields of corn and cows grazing. Many Amish live in the area. Weather that day; cloudless blue sky, temperatures in the low sixties, was perfect for collecting. Tim, from Connecticut was the first to arrive. Then I showed up, then Mike (Pagurus) and his wife, Leila from Massachusetts, then Rob (snakebite 6769) and his family from Vermont, Carmine (xonenine) from Buffalo, NY., and finally Dave (Shamalama) from the Philadelphia area. Here's a group shot taken by this writer.

Plant stem (possibly Psilophyton) Middle Devonian Windom Shale Moscow Formation Hamilton Group Deep Springs Road quarry Lebanon, NY. collected 6/22/15 Terrestrial plant remains (usually poorly preserved) are fairly common at this and other Middle Devonian marine sites in Madison County, NY. The low lying Catskill Delta was located just to the east which included the famed Gilboa forest. It isn't hard to imagine these plant remains being carried out to sea and deposited along with the remains of marine creatures.-

Mucrospirifer mucronatus from Madison Co., NY.

From the album: Middle Devonian
Mucrospirifer mucronatus (brachiopod) Middle Devonian Windom Shale Moscow Formation Deep Springs Road quarry Lebanon, NY. collected 6/22/15 Mucrospirifers are ridiculously common at this site, but they're so fragile collecting a complete one out of the matrix is next to impossible. Single valve specimens inevitably crack or shatter when you try to remove them from the rock. This one, fortunately, has both valves and is less flattened than most. -
