Articulated Brittle Sea Star and The First Fossil That Looked Back at Me! Pawpaw Formation
EPIKLULSXDDDDD posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
The brief visit to the second half of the Pawpaw exposure turned out to be a huge success. I didn't think it was possible, but the finds got even better! There wasn't much of a story to be had with accessing the site, so I'll keep things brief and jump straight into the finds. Once I relocated the productive greyish layer, I was already gathering various claw bits left and right. Their bright white coloration really makes them pop out from the ground. However, I didn't let this lead me into lowering the thoroughness of my search. I still took a close look at every pebble and under- 16 replies

@pamk7802 brought me a slab from the Lower Cretaceous Duck Creek Formation full of brittle stars to prep recently. Most of the prep was with abrasive. I did have a couple areas of thicker matrix that required some scribe work. Here's the slab before: and after: PVA consolidant applied to lock everything down as the arms are VERY fragile.

Hello again from Finland! I need your expertise again This big Sea star fossil was found a couple of years ago from an energy peat stock in inner Finland. It originated from a Finnish mire (drained to a peat bog). The pics are poor, but can you identify what species this is? How old can it be? Thank you very much! - Kara

Hello dear forumers! Yesterday i found something interesting. I think that it is a starfish fragments. It is realy rare for my region. For a years of our hobby we found about 10 pieces at all. Yesterday found about 50 fragments which lay under ground at square about 15x15x10 cm . Some of them layed one after another, but most of it chaotic. At picture 3 and 4 its my vision of how pieces are located one according another. Is it starfish or ordinary crinoid? Place: Russia/Crimea/Sevastopol/Balaclava Time: Jurassic system/Upper Jurassic series/Oxfordian(?) For the more accurate time
