Hello, My friend found this fossil in the shale cliffs along Eighteen Mile Creek in New York State. I had input from one "fossil guy" who thought it might be "an assemblage of a couple critters, with the skinny lines to the right possibly being cross section of a trilobite thorax segments." Any information would be helpful.

As I learn more and more about this hobby of fossil collecting and study I'm unfortunately also finding out more about those once great fossil collecting sites that have been destroyed or we no longer have access to; ones like Swatara Gap, Linton, Ohio, Eighteen Mile Creek, Centerfield, just to name a few. There are also others like Inversand, NJ and St Clair, PA which are threatened with closure. I would like to invite the membership to share their thoughts and (feelings) about what could possibly be done to possibly reopen some of the closed sites and to keep those that are endangered open. Maybe share some stories about places that are no longer accessible and of course photos of fossils from places where they can no longer be collected. Those fossils I'm showing are Mucrospirifers from Eighteen Mile Creek near Buffalo, NY., a site that just closed last Spring. Thank you and happy posting.
