    Found after a small rockfall

    Found this morning after a small rockfall. The old mountain road was modified about 10 years ago by cutting through what is predominately a limestone outcrop of triassic age which links the sandstone basin below and the much older Sierra de Gador mountain range above. Travelling up to our home there were signs of a small fall. I pulled over and scooped up a bagfull of small rocks. This was the only interesting piece.
  3. Today on my way to the 2022 GeoFair, I stopped at a road cut in Wilder, Kentucky that I have visited before. I also stopped here after I visited the show and collected until it started pouring / hailing. Here are some pics of the road cut. At this location I collected hash plates, did not really find any loose fossils that I wanted. I always finds pieces of my favorite trilobite, Cryptolithus bellulus as well as pieces of Isotelus and Flexicalymene. I also find graptolites, Tentaculities, bryozoan and crinoid discs all on hash plates, it is great. I know people like individual fossil finds, I do too, but there is nothing like looking at a hash plate that tells a story in time. Here are pics of some hash plates, many of which I kept. I showed this picture to one of the Dry Dredger members who was doing fossil ID and he showed it to Dr. Richard Harris and they believe that the triangle indentations are part of an Isotelus trackway.

    The Crinoid Road Cut

    I don't get to go out fossil hunting as much as I would like these days, but I was able to sneak out to a local road cut for a few hours the other morning. It was the day before my birthday after all! A great excuse for me to convince the wife to watch the kiddos for a few hours. This particular road cut is dated to the Mississippian and is full of crinoids! I was literally walking over them. They were everywhere! Upon closer inspection I found that there were a couple of layers that were mainly composed of crinoids. This large slab was laying on the ground in front of the cut. The slab was almost 2 meters in length. Covered in crinoid fragments. Another large slab of crinoid infested rock. Again, it was on the ground in front of the cut. Yet another slab. I finally remembered to put something in for scale... A picture of what I am calling crinoid gravel. If you look closely you can see many crinoid fragments mixed in. This gravel was up a little higher on the cut. The road cut has multiple accessible levels. Here is a sample of some of the pieces I picked up. In my excitement, I started out picking up everything. Then I quickly realized that was an effort in futility. I thought the specimen at the very bottom right of the picture might have been a calyx when I first picked it up, but I think it may be a geode with a piece of crinoid attached. The largest of the "coin" looking columnals (third in the top row from left to right) is over an inch in diameter. With work being crazy, I haven't had a chance to go through everything and clean them up for a closer look. Sorry this photo isn't the best. It's late here and I'm trying to not wake up the family. Its the best I can do under sub par basement lighting. A very nice (and heavy!) hash plate that I was able to manhandle to the truck. Crinoids were not the only things I found. This horn coral was sticking up out of the rubble just waiting for me to come along and take it home! I like how it is coming up out of the matrix. Lording over its domain! lol I also came across bryozoan on occasion. The shale that they are in is very delicate and brittle. It's barely more than clay. I had to handle with care. Overall it wasn't a bad little outing. Any day out fossil hunting is a good day! I picked up much more, a few longer crinoid stems, a couple of small hash plates to practice prepping on, some geological items for my brother who is more into geology than paleontology. I ran into a few brachiopods, but most were not very well preserved or were badly weathered. Ill try to post a few more/better pictures as I go back through things and get them cleaned up a bit. I also have more pictures of the exposure and crinoid layers that I might post as well. Happy Hunting!
