  1. Samurai

    Ameura missourienisis

    From the album: Missouri Trilobites

    One of the smaller specimines, but that just makes for better details! Found this little guy in what I call the upper Winterset Limestone member from the Dennis Formation. This pygidium less than 5mm.
  2. Samurai

    Neuropteris sp. Leaf

    From the album: Missouri Plant Fossils

    Roughly 2.3 cm Long
  3. This appears to me to be a somewhat smashed axial lobe of a Ameura missouriensis, and the first one I have found with the thorax. I found it in the Winterset Limestone Member of the Pennsylvanian, Kansas City Group, near Kansas City, Missouri. Does this ID seem right to you folks? Actually, the thing I want to do is exclude the (highly remote, I know) possibility of an eurypterid. I'm not sure if there is much more to prep as the fossil just disappears into the matrix. Russ

    Pennsylvanian trilobite ID

    I was going through my trilobite pygidiums and cephalons from the Winterset of the Pennsylvanian Kansas City group and I found this cephalon that seems different from the others I have. In particular, the genal spine seems curved. In the photos you can see both the internal mold and, in the other half of the split, the inside of the shell. I assume the pygidium beside it is belongs to the same creature, but I could be wrong. Any help with the ID will be appreciated. Russ
  5. In praise of my faithful old walking stick and why I carry it fossil hunting: · To clear cobs’ webs from my path · To serve as a third leg on slopes and uneven ground · To clack on boulders advising the residents (especially snakes) that I am about · To extend to a friend helping him get up that last few feet of cliff · To probe among stones where I’m leery of putting my hand · To hold aside the leafy foe – poison ivy · Or the spiny foe · To help carry my bag of rocky treasures, suspended from the “handle” · To look very slightly less defenseless than an empty-handed old man · To act as a crutch when I have just stepped wrong and cracked my tibia and fibula above the ankle Here’s the story on the last one. Yesterday, I went with my friend, Mike, to a favorite fossil hunting spot. It’s a rock face (Winterset) about 100 yards of brush, small ditches, mud, rocky-rubble, and tangley-vines off the road. I was delighting in a couple of newfound trilobits and some cephalopod pieces as we gathered our finds and backpack and headed toward the car. A few yards later I stepped into a small ditch where my foot slipped and stuck at an odd angle between two large rocks, while my body continued forward. I felt my ankle wrenching. It’s an odd sensation and I knew I had done something nasty to it. Mike helped me get up and gave me a hand as he could along the way while we spent the next five years getting back to the car. My mainstay for this journey was my old walking stick. Imagine a single four-foot crutch – not ideal but worlds better than nothing. The doctor commented later that afternoon, “Well you really did it!’ I had. Tibia and fibula were cracked above the ankle. So, you may understand my sentimentality. It’s just a nicely shaped limb of osage orange, straightened a bit, with a metal cap on the bottom. My son (he’s forty) made it for me. But I’ve used it a hundred times in the last few years and it’s a sort of faithful companion. If I lost my 10x Belomo loupe, my Estwing rock pick, my phone, my backpack, or even (gulp!) a bag of newly-found fossils, I would kick myself; but loosing my old walking stick would sadden my heart.
