On the winter solstice, we took the family out for a 7-mile winter hike. Luckily it was winter in name only, as the temps got up to almost 50 degrees. We found a nice trail near Roanoke, Virginia, that took us into the Appalachians. As the kids are still excited about our giant fossil hunting trip out west this summer, I decided to pick a location where I knew there were fossils to be found. All I know is that these were Paleozoic formations, where 450mya it was swampy mud flats. So I could tell them we wouldn't be finding dinosaurs, but we might find some shells. So they en

should be easy for US hunters,from the Devonian or Silurian of Northern France,ID?

Possibly it's just me, or does it seem there are far less posts about fossils in the west. Has this site morphed into a Paleozoic forum?

Did a quick perusal of the forum and came to the conclusion that this paper might be new to all of you. If not,I apologize beforehand to the previous poster BTW,the source publications has a reputation to uphold.Read it,by all means Cargaineslage.pdf

I posted this because East Kirkton lit. is rare. It is relatively short,and is a careful analysis of the "Faziesverhaltnisse" ,diagenesis and taphonomy of this famous site. Biotic content: amphibia/"tetrapods"/plant taphonomic mode: silicification Significance:"silicification" and "vertebrate" aren't found in the same sentence often Rolfeetal1990.pdf

Found this in my yard, which is covered in gravel, at least as much as I can afford. I hate mowing. The material is probably Paleozoic, but could be up through the Pleistocene. It is flat on both sides. Initially thought coral, but doesn't look right. Brent Ashcraft

Around 1967 Jefferies launched his preliminary ideas on "calcichordates". Many echinoderm specialists are not convinced by his ideas. But: his interpretation of functional morphology makes sense,and his plate nomenclature has been taken onboard by at least some non-adherents of his theory. Although NOT commonly found,in some parts they can be a significant part of the paleofauna. Time to meet a fascinating group of animals!

Hello, forgive me for posting these on your thread but I have a few paleo teeth and would like some info if possible. I found these in Oklahoma. A couple of Petalodus here and I was wondering if these are average in size, quality, etc. I was fortunate in that the big one I found all of the pieces of it except for some minute parts. I think the small one is a Agassizodus? The other I don't know, maybe a Deltodus? Thanks!

Sad News In The World Of Fossil Collecting: The Passing Of Don Smarjesse
siteseer posted a topic in Fossil News
Last night, a friend informed me of the passing of Don Smarjesse and asked me to post this obituary: Don Smarjesse of Novi, Michigan died early this April after a long passage through Alzheimer's disease. Don operated Earth Enterprises for around two decades selling fossils primarily from Devonian quarries in Sylvania, Ohio and Milan, Michigan, along with mineral specimens from the latter locality. At M.A.P.S. and the Denver and Tucson shows, Don did a brisk business offering trilobites, crinoids and brachiopods along with beautiful sulphur and celestite crystals, all of which he persona -

I just got finished working on this PDF file. It's a PDF of "The Paleozoic Fishes of North America" by John Strong Newberry from 1889. It is in two parts; text and plates. There are some versions on the Internet but none are really in complete or presentable form. One "good" version is missing a lot of the picture plates because the compilers chose to export as one small page size and so picture plates are chopped in half or totally missing. Another web version is just raw scans of the pages with no color filtering meaning the pages are all dark orange and low contrast. My version co

Book Review Of: Richardson's Guide To The Fossil Fauna Of Mazon Creek
siteseer posted a topic in Fossil Literature
a book review of: "Richardson's Guide to the Fossil Fauna of Mazon Creek" by Charles W. Shabica and Andrew A. Hay (editors). 1997. Northeastern Illinois University. 308 pages. Original suggested retail price: $70? One tributary of the Illinois River has become an important landmark in the world of paleontology. Fossils are found along and within many waterways but they are almost always isolated shells, teeth, and bones and even these more durable elements are often worn down to unrecognizability. The miracle of this tributary, Mazon Creek, is that the remains became encased with- 1 reply

a book review of: Evolution of the Insects by David Grimaldi and Michael S. Engel. Cambridge University Press. 2005. 755 pages. Hardcover retail $120 USD. When I was in the sixth grade in the 1970's, each of us had to build an insect collection for science class. We learned about biological classification before we started because each collection had to have at least nine different taxonomic orders represented. At the time I had an up-to-date insect identification guide to help me. What I didn't know then was that a basic reevaluation of the taxonomy of insects and all other organisms
