    2023 Mazon Creek trips

    Hey everyone! Haven't posted here in a while, and thought I would come back with a trip report. Recently I became interested in Mazon Creek fossils - something unusual for me as a vertebrate person. I finally managed to get out in the field this spring and visit the Mazonia-Braidwood State Park and the Braceville spoil pile through an ESCONI trip. I have collected at quite a few Paleozoic sites before, but this was my first time hunting in the Carboniferous! I went to Mazonia with a friend on a weekend in early April, when there was no foliage and it was sunny outside. I read a lot of threads about Mazon Creek on this forum and we decided to go straight through the bushes to search for the most inaccessible areas we could find. Here are a few concretions. Sadly, both of these turned out to be empty Also found a first Pennsylvanian garter snake Here is our total haul for ~4 hours. The only non-Essexella thing we found already open was this coprolite (?). By the way - if you see any errors with identification in this thread please correct me, I'm still learning a lot about this awesome deposit. Then came the freeze-thaw. I decided to cheat a little and use the -80C freezer in the lab I work in, which shortens the freezing part of the cycle to a few hours. At this point, most of the concretions from this trip have already opened: My nicest and largest Essexella ascherae. Another Essexella (after vinegar). When it opened, I first thought it was some arthropod segment, but I like it anyways. This one is weird. Coprolite? Probably nothing (?), but the pyrite is pretty. A plant of some kind, probably not identifiable. And my favorite find: I believe this is the apex of a Calamites sp. - segments are clearly visible. This concretion didn't want to open for over a month, so I got frustrated and dropped it from the 4th floor of my building as I didn't have a hammer with me... Don't do that.
  2. I have had this question for some time now and recently had it come up again. I was wondering does anyone know if there are particular conditions that affect the number of Conservat Lagerstätten we see on the earth at any given time? I got this question because in my time collecting and learning about fossils it seemed to me that times like the Cambrian seem to have quite a number of these sites, and the type of preservation in them seems fairly consistent and similar, as we go into the Ordovician I know if fewer but still a few and they also have pretty similar preservation. The Silurian and Devonian on the other hand, seem to have much fewer, off the top of my head I can probably only think of a couple, but then you get into the Carboniferous and it once again seems like there are much higher numbers of these sites. The Carboniferous is especially interesting because a number of these sites have more usual nice preservation like Bear Gulch, Kinney Quarry, Hamilton Kansas, etc but also a number of sites have Siderite concretions with exceptional preservation like a few sites in the US including Mazon Creek and some in the UK I believe, a type of preservation I have not seen in any other time periods. I am not sure if this patchy record of sites with good quality preservation continues further outside of the Paleozoic, but this is where I noticed it occuring due to mostly focusing on that time span. Is all of this down to the different conditions on earth during these different times? Is there a degree that our sampling bias or just how much attention each of these gets that plays into how many we know from each time? I have been curious about this for some time and thought maybe someone here would know more about the subject. Thanks for looking! Misha

    Bertie Problematic

    Here's an enigmatic specimen that has puzzled me. There are other specimens that have been found. One researchers opinion was it was a Telson that washed around and became "loosie goosey", Another's was its from Dolichopterus which also could make sense. Others have said its from some sort of Pyllocarid or a Acanthodian. I personally agree with the Telson theory but id love to hear your opinions!!

    New Cambrian Lagerstatte

    A new lower Cambrian Lagerstatte from China! They surmised this was a nursery, but will doubtless add to our understanding of the Chengjiang and Burgess Shale fauna. Interesting there was no mention of the Cambrian explosion. https://www.livescience.com/cambrian-paleonursery-haiyan-lagerstatte.html
