Found in the Skaneateles Formation, Central NYS, Middle Devonian. This has four sides a pointed end and a broken end. All four sides have "shell grain"? There are "similar" shaped ones under Bi Valves in Wilson's book called Goniophora, but listed as Lower Devonian. There are several pages listed in Linsley's book, but no period mentioned. Thanks Greg

Today me and my boys met up with fellow forum member, @DrDave for a hunt at Cole Hill. Dave recently moved to the Syracuse area, so we were finally able to schedule a hunt after a few failed attempts. We were hoping @Al Tahan would be able to join us but unfortunately he could not. Me and the boys arrived about 8:40 am with Dave arriving shortly after. There was some cloud cover for a good portion of our time there which was nice as it kept the sun off our backs and kept the temps down. I cant say that we made any spectacular finds but there were a few trilobite bits and pieces as well as plenty Bembexias, various Brachs and bivalves. It was a nice day to be out hunting for sure. About 11am it starting raining on and off for the remainder of our stay. We moved around the site trying to find easier areas to dig in and found a spot with some potential for further inspection. So while there may not have been any great finds, it was nice to finally meet Dave and get to know him a bit. Here are some of our finds. First is a nice detailed Bembexia that Devin found
