My "thank you!" to you seems to have disappeared, so here's another: Thank you! (These scolecodonts that I found are already in my display cabinet since they are quite beautiful when not attached to a living creature ) Monica 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Awesome find, JP! I took the liberty of color balancing two of your images with the odd color casts. Cheers. -Ken 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSRhunter Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Thought I would go ahead and throw in my submission for Invertebrate Fossil of the Month. On a recent trip to the North Sulphur was walking along and did a double take when I saw this specimen. Could hardly believe my eyes on second inspection. Only my second ever urchin find from the North Sulphur and first of this type of regular urchin. If anyone knows of the species any help would be gladly appreciated Love how the fossilization almost preserved the original colors/ markings. Found March 23, 2020 Unknown Echnioid Species( any help would be appreciated) Cretaceous Age- Ozan Formation Red Beds North Sulphur River, Fannin County 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCFossils Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I would like to submit this neat Cincinnatian crinoid fossil. I collected the specimen on Feb 17th 2020 at a roadcut outside of Maysville Kentucky. I just got it back from a friend of mine who did the prep work. I believe the species is Glyptocrinus deculatus. Found in the Fairview Formation . I am attaching a picture of both the unprepped and prepped fossil.

Al Tahan Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hey everyone Ok here’s a buzzer beater! I just found this on Sunday 3/29/20 and haven’t had the time to post my trip so I’m doing things a little out of order ha. I’ll prolly do a trip report later in the week.’The end of the month waits for no one! I found this absolute STUNNER of a Rhinocaris phyllocarid. I’ve literally never seen anything like it. In general there isn’t a wealth of pictures of Rhinocaris phyllocarids online outside the forum so I guess that’s to be expected. Took me a day to figure out what I actually had. Looks like a complete specimen to me. RARE is not a correct word to describe it.....more like....exceedingly rare and there prolly aren’t many that exist period. I’m over the moon with this find . Date of discovery: 3/29/20 Scientific name: Rhinocaris columbina Geologic age: Middle Devonian (Givetian) Geologic formation: Hamilton group, Moscow formation, Windom shale State/region: Madison county, New York I’ll submit 4 photos The cut slab from zoomed out. Some closer shots Here is the best image source I could find for Rhinocaris columbina. Honestly I’ve never found a rostrum ever and I’ve never seen that nice groove (or ridge?) running down the side like diagramed. Kinda makes me wonder if the ID is exact...maybe same genus but possibly different species? All Rhinocaris columbina described in James Halls book come from Cayuga lake and westward. Just saying lol. photo source: Clarke, John M. “On the Structure of the Carapace in the Devonian Crustacean Rhinocaris; and the Relation of the Genus to Mesothyra and the Phyllocarida.” The American Naturalist, vol. 27, no. 321, 1893, pp. 793–801. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/2452130. Accessed 1 Apr. 2020. Thanks! Hope you all like it Al 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
