Hello, I don't usually make separate posts to show off individual fossils, but I had to make an exception because this one is very special. It is a near-complete crown of a crinoid known as Macrostylocrinus striatus from the Silurian Waldron Shale of Shelby Co. Indiana, USA. I didn't really know what it was until I had it prepped and identified by experienced collectors. Though small (2 cm) and seemingly unassuming, this fossil is exceptional because as far as I know and am told, no crown of this species has ever been found from the Waldron Shale. Until now this crinoid has only been found from this locality as armless calyxes, and even then fairly rarely. So this specimen would be the first and so far the only Waldron Shale Macrostylocrinus striatus crown in existence. I would call it a very rare fossil, but really a more appropriate descriptor might be "one-of-a-kind". Of course, one can never be 100% certain, as there is no telling what material is sitting in old collections. In any case, there is no doubt that this is an important specimen.

I have had multiple trips this summer to my favourite localities in Hamilton, Ontario and Toronto. I dont think the winter of this season was severe to render a great deal of erosion since I couldnt pick out a lot of material surface wise. My first trip is at the Niagara Escarpment of Hamilton in which I visit many formations of the Cataract and Clinton Groups. Always keep an eye out on your overhead! These rocks of the Whirlpool sandstone (Cataract Group) on top of the Queenston formation can drop on any unsuspecting person! Below are some partial pentamerid brachiopods Pentameroides subrectus of the Reynales formation at Hamilton, Ontario. They look like pecans. My next summer trips were at the Humber River area in Toronto. I visited my favourite spots to check out what I can surface collect, since I was carrying light materials with me on those days without a hammer and chisel. Both the formations exposed at the Humber River and Mimico Creek belong to the late Ordovician Georgian Bay formation. And recently this Saturday I was at Mimico Creek in Toronto revisiting my old hunting grounds. I came across a nice Treptoceras crebiseptum slab, which I chiseled out of the shale with my hammer- before it fractured into many pieces. I also found a nice trace fossil which had a Cruziana sp. on it, but it had some oil grease on it for some reason. Usually, if the winter was severely cold, a portion of an exposure like this would be falling down to the bottom, revealing surface-collecting fossils. An interesting trace fossil i found but chose not to keep. In situ of the Treptoceras plate I chose to extract. Below is the nice trace fossil i decided to keep. Im a very picky person when collecting and I only the best specimens I can find. Another entirely separate exposure at Mimico Creek that I visited on the same day.

Two weeks ago I had the opportunity to collect a few specimens from the Waldron Shale of Indiana. I was hoping that a little vinegar would take off a bit of residual matrix left on a few specimens. It did not work well as little came off. Does anyone have experience cleaning these fossils????? Thanks for any tidbits of information!!!! Mike

Found these in a silurian deposit in Louisville, Kentucky. Any idea what they are and if they're fossils or not?
