So I went to look for an owner of a potential site, I did end up getting an address but no one was home, so I decided to go to a previously unfossiliferous site. With this Gettysburg shale, you look for glossy layers (for some reason these are the layers with fossils. At the major exposure there was none, but under/next to a dirt boat ramp there was about five inch long three inch high outcrop of good stone. Yes, I got some strange looks poking at the ground with my trusty screw driver, but I got some small trinkets to show. I found these lines, most are different size and shape, one looks like the worm itself, although I feel I may be mistaken. Some hollow circles that look almost like crinoid columnals are present as well. This is most of what I found, tell me what you all think. I can take more pictures and provide more information. Note: there may be some repeats, i was just trying to get every picture before sundown.

Okay, so I did not create this with my hammer,scribe, or trusty screwdriver, it's on a different slab than the other one but this one also has some raindrops. It's Triassic Gettysburg formation from near emmitsburg, MD. It is a strange pointed mark almost as if something was pulled across it. Not all is preserved, I know this because it stops and then starts again (last pic). I'm stumped, let me know what you guys think.

Hello everyone, this fossil is in a larger plate with lots of raindrops from the Triassic Gettysburg shale of Maryland. It looks like a burrow but it could be a root or part of a larger footprint. What do y'all think?

I found this up near emmitsburg, Maryland. It's got some strange lines. Is it a plant and if so any ideas as to what type, or am I stuck again with a burrow as I have been so many times before. It's Gettysburg shale (Triassic norian-carnian).

From the album: WhodamanHD's Fossil collection.
Again, bought online from the Fulton site, which I believe is now closed. A few tracks hard to see on these pictures, but they are good. As usual picture does not do it justice. I intend to find some myself, not sure if I can though.- 1 comment
