Today I stopped at a garage sale at an ESCONI members house, this is the same location of an earlier garage sale that I posted about a couple months ago. @stats Rich was there and he spotted this Eurypterid first and let me but it. I don’t know what I will do with it and I am not sure if $100 was a good deal, but I was happy with it. I believe this piece cane from Rochester, New York. If anyone has any info on it please let me know. I am really thinking about cutting it down to a smaller size and see if there is anything else in the excess matrix. i also picked up some miscellaneous flats of different prices. There were some larger pieces that were identified at coming from Saint Marie’s Cement Company, Bowmanville (Ontario, Canada) - Ordovician. I do not know if this is the correct ID, but here are some pics of some of the stuff after I split them. I got 4 large plates for $5.00. I got a flat of fossils that was identified as coming from the James Dick Cement Company (Brechin, Ontario, Canada). This flat contained various brachiopods, gastropods, etc., I paid $20.00 for the flat and separated out what I wanted and put them into a Plano tackle box. More in next post.

This is the last of the three unknown Crinoids I am requesting your help on. I have absolutely no information on this item as it was a clump purchased from a yard sale. I prepped/detailed it. Anyone know what species it is?

Well I decided to stop again at the Garage Sale at an ESCONI members house. It had been a rainy night and before it opened at 10 am I along with another gentleman helped the owners daughter remove tarps that were covered with a lot of water. After that, I and a number of others began to look around for new items that had been placed outside since last week. I found a couple things that caught my eye, I don’t know if the prices are good for a couple things that I purchased , but it was to help the owner and I was willing to pay the price that I did. These trilobites appear to be from the Ordovician of New York, but I would not be surprised if they came from Canada, maybe @Kane can confirm. For these pieces I paid $130.00 I believe that they are Ceraurus and Isotelus. I got 3 Ceraurus- And then these Isotelus. I also got this box of Agatized Coral from Florida for $50, I have never owned a piece of this. To be continued-

Good Afternoon, I am a teacher and I bought a fossil fish from a garage sale for $5. I use it in my classroom for a couple of different activities. I was told it was from the Green River site in Montana. See the pic / read the description in my blog. Thanks in advance! http://www.ctsciencenut.com/2017/03/fish-fossil-identify.html
