Excursion to Cory's Lane

[KompsFossilsNMinerals]

Hi everyone, I just want to start off the post by thanking @Bguild, @Fossildude19, and @Pagurus for their Cory's Lane post a while back, it really helped me with my trip there. 

 

Corys Lane is on a beach in Rhode Island, the view is absolutely incredible towards the end of the day. I visited towards the end of the day because of the tides. The area I was having the most luck at would be completely underwater by the time high tide came around. Speaking of which, I sampled different heights and areas of the locality, and I found that breaking the shale closest to the beach floor (and on the beach floor) was the most rewarding. 

 

Here are some photos of the locality and of my finds. I'm gonna need some help ID'ing the smaller ferns, as I'm not too well versed with plant fossils.

 

The View

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Finds 

 

Small fern(s?)

 

Calamites?

 

First find of the day, some sort of fern

 

Large piece of wood?

 

The B side of the fern showed earlier

 

The area I was having the most luck at, it was sort of dug into the beach

 

I'll have some more photos of the finds at a later date, I still have to sort through and clean them.

Thanks for looking

Nicely done! Corys lane is such an enjoyable locality this time of year. Glad you had a successful outing . Feel free to message me with anything you have trouble IDing.
