Yesterday I stopped by another good friend of mine (Marty) that I have known for about 30 years. He has been collecting Mazon Creek fossils a lot longer that I have and also use to collect with my mentor Walter. Every once in a while he contacts me and has me stop by to pick up Mazon Creek concretions that he does not want and I go through them and place them into 5 gallon buckets for the ESCONI Braceville trip. I then bring the buckets and dump fossils for the participants. Here is a picture of the bags that I picked up yesterday. Marty also pointed out a bag of concretions that he received from Walter, probably back in the early 1980s. In this bag there were two fossils mounted on cardboard, that were given to Walter from a fellow collector that lived in Marietta Ohio. These two fossils, one is a Cyclopteris, and the other I am not sure of, or collected from the Permian- Washington formation, that is found in southeast Ohio. Pictures are below. I also looked at one other piece that was in this bag, and it came from Pitt 11. It is really cool, since it has four different fossils in the concretion. Euproops danae, Pecopteris, Neuropteris? and maybe a lycopod leaf. I had to get acetone to get rid of the writing on the concretion. When I go through the other bags, I will include some future pictures.
