Thunder Bay Formation- Partridge Point Blastoids

Here is a comprehensive list of most of the blastoids personally found by me at PP. This is roughly 80 hours worth of collecting the site from 4 total trips. 

Placoblastus obovatus:

Going to post one massive topic about Partridge Point tomorrow, still working out how to shrink photos so it isn't a mile long.

Nice blastoids. I've only visited PP once for an hour but it seems like a cool site.

To resize photos, insert them into the post and then double click on them. A box will pop up in which you can adjust the photo size.

Thank you, I'll get on that post as I've used my entire day off sizing up and imaging many of the specimens. I've also extensively hunted the Potter Farm, and I highly recommend both, as their diversity is unmatched in Michigan.

I hunted the Potter Farm for a grand total of five minutes. The brachiopod diversity was impressive.

Look forward to your report! I, myself, prefer a mile long report with pictures NOT shrunk. It is the pictures I love in topics posted on the fossil forum.
