Hey everyone!!! 

 

I haven't posted anything here since I joined but why not introduce myself. Hello I'm Dean I'm 15 years old and from Pennsylvania, I mainly collect eurypterids!!! I have been able to pursue my eurypterid addiction through having access to Langs quarry, me and Allan Lang are close friends. He's extremely generous and lets me keep just about everything I find, I have only went on 1 trophy hunt, I have spent 10 days at the Quarry in total Allan is very kind : ) .  Anyways ill attach some of my favorite eurypterids and scorpions from my collection below. 

 

Ill probably post more stuff here like trip reports etc. in the future.

 

First is a Dolichopterus, then Eurypterus Laculatus, Proscorpius, Acutiramus (Pterygotid).  All self collected.  :horseshoecrab:

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
