    Devonian Bivalve? from Paulding

    I found this small "clam" last week at the Paulding Community Fossil Garden in Ohio. This specimen was found loose but likely came from the Silica Shale (Middle Devonian). It has a bivalve-y look, similar to the bivalve Mytilarca cordata which is known from here. However, the valves are not symmetric about the hinge line, although @Peat Burns suggested it could be a deformation. Any ideas are appreciated.

    Eldregeops crassituberculata

    Partial Eldregeops crassituberculata from Paulding Ohio. I prepped this one myself.

    Silica Shale Placoderm ID

    Hello everyone, I recently got this Ptyctodont tooth plate from a certain well known auction site and wanted to see if anyone here may know where I could get more info to identify it. I purchased this fossil for really cheap, I'm not sure why but I was the only person to bid on it, not sure if others just didn't recognize it, or nobody was interested. This plate is a large, at least in comparison to my two other 1 cm long Ptyctodus plates from Russia, and is labeled as coming from the Mid Devonian Silica Shale in Paulding OH. I took a look in my book on the Silica Shale and saw that quite a few of these fish are found there, I tried looking into the different genera further online but found few resources and nothing very helpful. If anyone knows what this may be more specifically or where to look for further info, I'd really appreciate it. Maybe @connorp or @jdp might know more about this? Thank you for looking, Misha

    Paulding Gastropod

    I found this very compressed gastropod over the summer at the dump piles in Paulding, OH (Silica Shale, Devonian). I don't recognize it. Any thoughts? @Peat Burns @minnbuckeye
  6. Hey everyone! Happy to finally be making another entry. Over the last couple of weeks I've been reading Richard Fortey's "Trilobite" and thus itching to get back into the field and see some for myself. Driving from New York to Chicago I decided to make a pit stop at Ohio's Paulding Community Fossil Garden and try my luck at finding some eldredgeops fossils. Here's what the garden looks like when you arrive: You're basically wading through fossils step after step. Here's the best of what I found, excluding some nice surface-collected brachiopods I've been handing out to friends here in Chicago. I have a few questions about what I've found, if anybody could give me their input it would be very much appreciated!! A lot of little bits. Crushed Eldredgeops rana cephalon about 1.75" wide. What I assume is a juvenile Eldredgeops rana? Size is about that of a dime. Tried to get to the surrounding shale using a pin vise but yielded scarce results. I'd be really grateful for any suggestions from more experienced preppers! Small, nickel sized brachiopod with something that looks to be stuck onto it! Anybody encounter this before?? I would attempt to prep off some of this muck but I don't want to risk damaging anything. Is a pin vise enough? A brush and some sort of solution maybe? Thanks for looking! I'm in Chicago as I write this, and just this morning paid a visit to the legendary Dave's Down To Earth Rock Shop in Evanston. There are walls littered with incredible stones, ancient tools and fossils. Everywhere. Imagine my surprise when encountering a familiar face.
  7. Hey everyone!! I'm writing in to see if anybody has a preference between Paulding fossil garden and Sylvania fossil park for finding trilobites. There is a spot at the header of this entry which nobody else has talked about that might yield some gems. Posts about Paulding seem like hit or miss trilobite presence. Which site would be more "picked over" do you think, if you do at all? I'm driving through Ohio soon and can only stop at one spot. Trilobites and microfossils are my priority and all else would be a great bonus. If anyone cares to weigh in I would greatly appreciate it - I don't know where to start! Thanks, Justin

    Paulding coral id

    Found this on my third trip to the Silica Shale in Paulding, OH today. Looks like some kind coral, except it’s basically a disk. I feel like I’ve seen something like it on the forum before but can’t remember.

    Paulding OH proetid pygidium

    I was working out a trade with a fellow member and they very graciously pointed out that this is not an Eldredgeops pygidium as I thought, but instead a proetid pygidium. From the Silica Shale in Paulding, OH. The only proetid from Paulding my searches turned up is Pseudodechenella. Any thoughts?
  10. To celebrate the end of the semester, I decided to finally take the 2 hour trip down to the Paulding Fossil Gardens. The weather sucked as most of you in the Midwest probably noticed, but I managed to get a few hours in between storms. This made everything a bit flooded, but I wasn't too concerned.

    Paulding OH unknown

    I found this thing when I was sorting through the haul from a recent trip to Paulding (Silica Shale, Devonian). I have no idea what it is. Only thing I thought of is some kind of fish bit, really just because it doesn't look like anything else from Paulding that I'm familiar with. Any ideas?

    Trilobite for the prep table

    Hi all, I found this beauty not too long ago in Pauling Ohio. I am pretty sure it is some type of Eldridge trilobite. Any tips on how to prep it?

    Paulding species list

    I recently was in Ohio for a short trip for business. Along the way I stopped at the Paulding fossil site. This had been on my fossil bucket list for a while. I was only there for about two hours. I was finding nice big brachs and horn corals, as well as some nice pieces of trilobites when I was getting ready to leave and I found a large, perfect complete enrolled Phacops. I might post some before and after pictures when I finish cleaning it up. Anyway my reason for this post is that I'm asking if anyone has a link to a website or knows of some other resource that shows the different taxa that can be found in this formation so that I don't have to take a bunch of pictures, post them, wait for people to respond... Funny thing is I think I left a small container of fossils I found behind at the site. But I still have about 5lbs of fossils that made it home, so I'm just writing it off as an offering to the fossil gods.

    Tiny Unknown Devonian

    @Peat Burns, This one is for you. I am staking my reputation (which doesn't mean a lot) on you to be able to ID this Paulding, Ohio unknown. Your info on species of Paulding mounds has been very helpful to me so far. Collected in early January.
  15. Thanks to @Fossil-Hound, who recently submitted a trip report to Paulding, Ohio, I was reminded that I had not been there yet and decided to head down there today. As mentioned by Fossil-Hound, this is "spoil" from the LaFarge Quarry which operates just down the road from the site. The quarry has generously set aside some land where they have placed numerous long piles of fossil-rich shale from the Silica Formation (middle Devonian: Givetian). The fossil park is fenced-in, and there is a nice, spatious, gravel parking lot as well as a porta-pot. There is a liability waiver form, but when I was there, there were no more blank ones -- just a whole bunch that had already been filled out and stuffed in the receptacle on the sign. I read everything and looked everywhere regarding rules for using "tools". I saw no rules against using a rock hammer or other tools. Here are a few pictures of the site and parking area (the "smoke" in the background is from the quarry. THey actually blasted once when I was there!):
