I thought this was my typical fenestellan bryozoan fossil when I first started photographing this rock, but when I looked at the photograph I realized that the texture was more bumpy and different... Other areas of this rock have what look like quartzite like areas - could this be something like that? My first impression was that it looked like reptile skin, but then I thought more rationally and highly doubted it. ;-) Found in Madison County, Alabama. Ramona

Last Saturday as some of you know, I found this really awesome Echinocaris punctuata with both valves and part of the telson. I had the idea of prepping it and then entering it into the IFOTM contest here on the forum. I’ve been working on it for 1 or 2 hours a day using pins and an old screwdriver. In this post I plan to post an image of the prep process everyday until it is complete.

My 12 y.o. son and I were looking for something to do outside on Sunday and on a whim I Googled fossil locations near us. That’s how I found out about “DSR” in Madison County, NY. We hopped in our car and found our way there. What a beautiful location! When we arrived we saw that there were already people there and I had two thoughts: 1) We’re going to get kicked out or 2) We’re really going to annoy some experienced fossil hunters as we plod about cluelessly Well, it turned out to be @Fossildude19 and @Jeffrey P! I know you guys don’t own the plac

I recently discovered this tiny fossil on a piece of shale from a site in Brookfield, NY that I visited with the NYPS last month. I believe this site is Upper Ludlowville Formation, based on the species I found there. I was wondering if this could possibly be a piece of placoderm armor? I dont recognize the detail on it so I’m having some trouble ID’ing it.

As indicated in an earlier post, I found lots of trilobites while on the field trip with the NYPS on Saturday. At DSR I found lots of greenops cephalons and pygidiums and even a few 60 percenters. I also found a few Eldredgeops pygidiums and one well preserved cephalon at DSR. (And a couple random Dipleura pieces). At the second spot, which was brand new to the NYPS, I found tons of greenops. I found 30+ greenops. Mostly cephalons, pygidiums or thoracic segments. I managed to find 3 or 4 60% completes and 5 or 6 fully completes. No Eldredgeops at the second spot. The layer I wa

I went with the Delaware Valley Paleontological Society to a few spots in Central New York last month. Cole Hill Rd. in Hubbardsville has several outcrops on private land where the owners are willing to share with fossil hunters. We scrabbled up and down the scree - Whee- and found our fill of trilo-bits, including one Dipleura cephalon covered with druse calcite, plus oodles of brachiopods, nautiloids, straight-shelled cephalopods, gastropods of all different shapes, and bivalves. I learned a tough lesson that afternoon. Always wrap your specimens as you go. Not only will they

I found these fossils while collecting at several locations in Madison County, NY. I have no clue what it could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
