Thomas1982 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Since we both had the day off, my daughter and I spent a couple of hours at the Deer Lake site (Schuylkill County PA). It was a beautiful sunny day in the mid 50s! A good start to this years fossiling adventures... 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilBaron Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Nice finds! Especially that dipleura. I've been through the area but never collected there since I wasn't sure about permission required. Is it simply walk-in, or do you need to check in with the restaurant there first? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Great finds! That Dipleura dekayi is quite nice! 1 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

You should call ahead. They are only open certain days, so leave a message. Have you been to the fossil pit at Swatara Park? Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been to the fossil pit at Swatara Park? Tom Thanks. I visit the Seudberg site once in a while. It's a great place to spend some time outdoors, but doesn't yield the best fossils. I might have a few brachiopods and a greenops from there that I consider collection-worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey P Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 That partly enrolled Dipleura you have there is a good find. Congratulations. It's been years since I've been to Deer Lake and I never collected behind the restaurant. On the opposite side of the road was a lot of rock debris from the road expansion that was taking place. A lot Tropidoleptus brachiopods and bivalves were present. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutdoorZ Life Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 @Thomas1982 Thanks for posting...great finds. Did you park at the Deer Lake Pub and Restaurant? Also, where do you walk from there to get to the fossil pit? We were thinking of taking a drive and wanted to make sure we were in the right place...thanks for your help!
