Hello y’all! On Sunday, my close friend@KompsFossilsNMinerals and I met up once again to do some collecting at La Familia quarry in search of some good trilobites, and as always, we didn’t leave empty handed! We hit a few different sections of the strata, and we managed to have some level of success at every spot we worked.

*AN EXPERT IS NEEDED* Devonian Vertebrate Skull from New York State
mikeymig posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this Upper Devonian nodule containing bones years ago. Of course I don't find too many Devonian vertebrate fossils here in NY so I squirreled it away to get it properly prepared and IDed someday. After doing some recent rearranging of my collection, I decided to bring this fossil out into the light. What I know - #1. Its a vertebrate fossil for sure and it looks to me to be cranium elements. #2. The size is 5.5" x 5.5". #3. It was found in the Cashaqua shale nodule layer. I also find straight and coiled shelled cephalopods, wood, and tiny bivalves in this unit. My question is - Do you think Fish? Placoderm? Tetrapod? Any information will be appreciated and what species it is would be a huge help. You can magnify the pics but if you need additional photos/angles let me know. Thank You, Mikey

From the album: Purchased Trilobites of Isotelus2883
Isotelus gigas from the Walcott Rust quarry. It is nicely inflated, but not very well-preserved. I got it for next to nothing though, so no complaints. -

Another one I hoped to get some clarity on. Found on the beach in Staten Island, N.Y. Maybe honeycomb fossil but if anyone is familiar with this, I'd love to learn more. Thanks again!

From the album: Nautiloid’s Trilobite Collection
Hypodicranotus striatulus I found on February 19, 2023 while collecting at La Familia Quarry. It’s from the Middle Ordovician Trenton Group, and was found in a stratigraphic section where the species has never been documented. Unlike the vast majority of H. striatulus specimens, this one came from a thin bedded shale unit. Because of this, it is more compressed than most specimens, although the detail is still outstanding.© Owen Yonkin 2023

I have dozens of native artifacts that are tooled from this material. I'm wondering if it's fossilized bone? I just read to lick the fossil and if it sticks to your tongue, it's bone. I'm embarrassed to talk about licking rocks in my first post, but It is definitely sticking to my tongue, much more than any others I have.

Took a quick road trip to a fossil locality in western New York over the weekend, a bit south of Rochester in the finger lakes region. Amongst the usual fossils I dig up at this locality I found a very well preserved gastropod that was larger than any I have seen in my time collecting. I was hoping someone could help me identify the species. Thank you! Took a field picture in case I destroyed the fossil while trying to grab it. It popped out after a long and slow excavation. After washing the detail is much more visible, including possible predatory boring marks? Is this the fairly common Naticonema lineata? If so this is probably 4x larger any I have found perviously. Bonus Eldredgeops trilobite that I found on this same trip, needs some minor repair work.

I am an amateur fossil hunter and collector, and I found this a while ago in Devonian shale, around Rochester New York. At first I thought it was some plant head like crinoid or coral but after I looked online I got stumped and couldn’t find anything like it

I found this fossil in a riverbed in upstate New York. At first I thought it may be a turtle stone or some other form of concretion however when i picked it up it had features that made me think it may be a skull of some kind. It looks as if it has a neck, jaw bones and a mouth. It is really remarkable to look at. It seems to be made of chert and is roughly the size of a cantaloupe and was found along side Crinoid fossils . If anyone has any incite on what this may be it would be greatly appreciated.

Over the last 10 days I have made three trips to an outcrop in NY that exposes some Silurian material. After doing some research on the stratigraphic beds that occur in this unit I decided to head out and give it a shot. As soon as I showed up on the first day I found a negative of a complete Dalmanites sp. trilobite on a large boulder that someone decided to leave behind. I did not see any more than partials and brachiopods for the rest of the first day. I had much more success on the second and third day. Plenty more not pictured such as corals, brachiopods, and trilobite partials. Spent some long hours excavating this outcrop, will probably close the book on this one for the season. Pictures below. Complete Dalmanities sp. that I split open today. A Trimerus sp. trilobite that was broken apart when excavated. The rock that the cephalon is attached to was found adjacent to the body. The unit is very fossil barren so estimate the head comes from this body. Not entirely sure what this is, found by a friend. This straight line is also an unknown An interesting cephalon, not sure about this one either Graptolite fossil Eye of Dalmanities sp. trilobite. Did not encounter any other eyes while splitting shale.
