9-1-22 Mazon Creek Collecting

[Nimravis]

This evening I had a little bit of time to do some collecting. It was not my best day, but it was still enjoyable. 
 

Here is a large Annularia, I was tapping the “crust / outer shell” off of the concretion, and it split open.

 

 

 

 

Also found a nice Lepidostrobophyllum majus.

 

 

 

And I am thinking that this is Sigilaria.

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some concretions as they were found.

 

 

 

 

Sometimes you find concretions near other collectors footprints, as below. I have found concretions next to my footprints, not knowing I missed a piece unti I circled back. Time of day, lighting, etc. are the main causes.

 

 

 

Here are my concretions for the day, about 45 of them.

 

 

I love fossil trackways and found these possible future fossils.

Very nice! I've enjoyed my time poking around for MC concretions (even with the abundant ticks).

 

 

Cheers.

Luckily, I have not run into a tick in a long time.

Is this the "new" spot still? The tracks look like fox. I see a macroneuropteris in the egg-shaped one on top of the pile.

Yes and it most likely is.
