Hello! I am a newbie fossil hunter, and I am asking for some ID help. My son and I visited the Kinzers Formation near Lancaster, PA , to look for fossils in the Cambrian shale. We didn't find much, which seems consistent with peoples' experiences recently, but did find traces of something that we haven't been able to positively identify. The attached photos of the specimen come from a piece of shale the we split. There's a radial pattern of darker flecks on the left side of the rock, each about 1 cm long. The tape measure is next to a longer, darker shape about 1 cm wide and about 6.5 cm long (although broken off on the right). Hopefully these pictures are helpful, but I can get out my SLR if more detailed pix would be helpful. Thanks for your thoughts!! Kerry

Heartbreaker larval specimen. The fragile telson can be seen going up behind the right side of the cephalon. -

The B-Side to the nice Wanneria I found with Dean Ruocco in 2022. This bug was in his collection until I traded him for it. Thanks Dean!-

From the album: My Kinzers Formation Fossil Collection
Here’s a perfectly articulated example of a once plentiful, now elusive Cambrian species. This is a puny bug, yet it is almost fully matured. The specimen measures less than just below one centimeter from cephalon to axial spine. Every delicate spine is in place, even the fragile axial spine! I was able to remove a thin layer of rock from atop the fragile cephalon without damaging the trilobite, making it one of my nicer finds this year. The bug is in the anti-Goldilocks zone of being just too big to focus under my hand magnifier to get the axial spine in focus along with the body, but you can still make it out in the photo.-

Paedumias yorkensis (?) juvenile
cameronsfossilcollection posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: My Kinzers Formation Fossil Collection
Though I’m fairly sure P. yorkensis is currently invalid, this definitely isn’t Olenellus. About 4 mm, I believe the rest of this immature trilobite may be buried underneath the rock. I will prep it once I have the proper tools!-

A nice articulated example of the iconic olenellid with a "honeycomb" pattern from the Kinzers Formation in Pennsylvania. The trilobite is nearly three inches in length, and could use a bit of prep on the cephalon and thoracic spines. This was acquired in a trade with @Dean Ruocco, who snagged the bug at a local fossil show. -

This ventrally preserved Kinzers bug was delicately prepped out by Jon Ginouves! I have previously uploaded this fossil to the album before it was prepared.-
