Hi, I don't want to over post, but this is my only venue for this. Here first is a nice big Pseudodechenella planimarginata pygidium that I like because it clearly shows 15 axial segments on the pygidium. I thought I had counted 15 on smaller ones, but they get blurry. Is 15 diagnostic for thei species? Second is a nice Trypaulites calypso, which are quite uncommon (this is only the second decent one I have found). Third is interesting and I'm wondering if it might be a T calypso thorax. It was definitely in the same layer as the pygidium. I've not ever seen anything like it. I also don't know iff the shell manes sense as it is not in individual ribs, or it doesn't look it. It looks like there is more in the rock, but I'd be afraid to take my Dremel to it, I think. What do you think? Thorax?

Still just finding bits. Two pygidia in one piece, and a small cephalon. This entire area must have been a shell pile like you see at the beach today. You know, the ones you have to walk around when bare footed. Nothing but shells, bits n' pieces. Cheers.

This is #8 and #9. Both were in the same split of shale. The larger one was barely visible, just 1/2 of the fwd center ridge. Took quite a bit of digging to expose it. I was pretty sure what it was, getting used to the little clues. Thanks again !

Since I was on spring break and finally had a Saturday off, I decided to drive a few hours south to a couple of the best Mississippian exposures in my area. I've been to these spots in the past and have always had a pretty decent haul. Here are some of my finds from my most recent trip, enjoy! Blastoids (complete with in situ shots) Brachiopods
