FossilsNS Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Hello all, Here are a few Diplichnites incertipies specimens that I found on a 2019 expedition in Nova Scotia. It is illegal to collect fossils in NS without a permit, however all the fossils found at this site (see large arthropluera tracks and tetrapod footprints in prior posts) have been brought to the local museums attention. Stay tuned for more! I hope you enjoy, FossilsNS 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thecosmilia Trichitoma Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Nice finds! It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt -Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Very cool trackways. Was that an ancient millipede that made the tracks? I hope the museum goes to collect those and they don't just wash away with the next tide. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are correct, this would have been made by late Carboniferous myriads (millipedes, centipedes and other close relatives). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's permitted, a citizen scientist and working with experts to preserve these important fossils. No worries. And he's quickly becoming an expert in his own right as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
