Hello everyone! I found this last year on one of my hunts in the Hamilton Group in Central PA. I identified it initially as potential fish (placoderm?) material, but I'm not completely sure. I just dug it out of my collecting boxes and decided to post about it. It shows some similarities to scales and bones from the Catskill Formation, but much blacker. I assume that it is a scale, if fish material, but correct me if I'm wrong. I can provide additional images if necessary.

Picture this, it was 378 million years ago, the seafloor was covered with unimaginable creatures ranging from crinoids and brachiopods to the glorious trilobite. These beautiful creatures lived in peace and harmony as they thrived. Then one day, they were buried, quickly, not to see the light of day for hundreds of millions of years later. That was until my friends and I found them and became the first to set eyes on them in a very, very long time. And now I share these images with you, the reader. Now you have joined this elite club of very, very few to see these specific once-living creature

I've been sorting through some of my old finds. I just happened to put this small spot on a piece from Swatra St. Park in PA under a lens. It's tiny. The scale seen is in mm. Is this the arm of a brittle star ?

Purchased this Olenellus getzi online. From the original Getz farm site where thousands of Olenellids and a few Radiodonts were found. Small for the species at an inch and a half long.-

A puny Olenellus (Paedumias) yorkensis that I split out at home. The rest of the bug lays buried under the rock until I send it to someone who doesn’t destroy fossils when they prep em. -

Another meraspid Olenellus plate. Look at the fused eyes! -

Another heartbreaker. I think this is an Olenellus thompsoni. Would’ve been gorgeous with the other half, maybe we’ll find it in the future. -

A nice Olenellus thompsoni(??) that was partially weathered. Still has its axial spine though! -

One of my favorite finds. This rock is covered in larval Olenellid molts. I wonder if we hit a nursery of some kind? -

A heartbreaker. Olenellus of some kind. -
From the album: My Kinzers Formation Fossil Collection
A cool plate, Olenellus (Paedumias) yorkensis cephalon as well as an O. thompsoni cephalon. I’m convinced that yellow mark may be a sponge. -

The best Wanneria walcottana we found. Three inches from the tip of the cephalon to the last thoracic spine.
