A Few Recent Finds at Penn Dixie, a shallow marine Devonian Site in upstate NY
Biotalker posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Super folks and fossils! I had a decent trip to Penn Dixie with the experts recently and thought I would share a few finds. The first is the lower third of a crinoid calyx. I measures 4 cm and has an intact stem attachment segment. Aside from stems, its the first decent crinoid part I have found since 2015. I am fascinated by the geometry of the echinoderm organization- 6 around the stem, them 12 around the next whirl, makes we wish I had the entire calyx.

I was stuck in Pittsburgh this weekend. On the spur of the moment, I decided to check out the Penn Dixie Site near Buffalo on Saturday. On the way, I stopped at Walmart and picked up a 2 /1/2 pound hammer, a small chisel and a water bottle. I arrived at the site about 10:30, checked in with the docents and became a member of the society. The docent introduced me to some Canadians who were there to hunt for the day, Malcolm and Jim. They graciously invited me to hunt with them and within a few minutes, we found out that we are all members here on this forum! Little did I know that being part of the team meant schlepping 300 lb. slabs of limestone! However, the hospitality and the camaraderie made my day, not to mention the opportunity to split fresh rock! Check out my full report, with video, on my website. http://nautiloid.net/fossils/sites/penn_dixie/penn_dixie.html

These are the best of the bugs I found at Penn Dixie. Highly recommend this site, especially for families!
