A.C. Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) Took a few college friends out to the Deer Lake region today. Was the first time fossil hunting for one of them and the first time finding non shark teeth for another. Checked out a couple different outcroppings, everyone took a few things they enjoyed. Here is my haul from the day (feel free to correct if I miss IDed)... 1x Eldregeops 3x Mucrospirifer 1x Leptodesma Edited March 21, 2021 by A.C.

Tidgy's Dad Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Very nice. Love the brachiopods, though I think they're Mucrospirifer. Eldredgeops rana Is the new name for Phacops rana, if i remember correctly. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey P Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Nice Eldredgeops. From what I've heard, trilobites are not common at Deer Lake and I didn't see any the one time I visited there about six years ago. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaacTheFossilMan Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 That's an adorable little Eldredgeops, nice finds! I agree with Tidgy's spirifer suggestion. ~ Isaac; www.isaactfm.com "Don't move!

I have at a minimum, 40 trilobites from deer lake, but it takes patience and persistence michael and his wife were with me when I found 2 baby dipleuras 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 5 plus a really neat mold of one. Its funny I have noticed that some areas are nothing but brachiopods and then you move over to a different area and it is constant trilobite cephalons and thoraxes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is a true treasure from anywhere in that area is crinoids or the occasional nautiloid fossils. Added a couple trilos and a crinoid I found at Deer Lake years ago 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
