Missourian Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Goodness.... That was your first trip? Does the bed continue under the grass? Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missourian Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Can that bed be traced over larger distances? If I found crinoids like that, I'd be doing everything I could to scout out more outcrops. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockin' Ric Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Wow! Awesome finds Roman! It's just not Carboniferous flora anymore... WELCOME TO ALL THE NEW MEMBERS!

Auspex Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Wow! Awesome finds Roman! It's just not Carboniferous flora anymore...

Yes, it traced much more wider then shown on my picture, it will be work for the next visit. Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missourian Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 What subdivisions of the Carboniferous do your plants and crinoids come from? Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanK Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 What subdivisions of the Carboniferous do your plants and crinoids come from? Hi Missourian, not sure for 100%, but seems to be Gzhelian.

trilobiteruss Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Very nice find Roman, those look to be some very nice crinoids once they are cleaned. We will look forward to seeing the results.

Shamalama Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Great finds Roman! Have you ever been able to get back to that Devonian site you visited before? Have you ever been down to Kertch to look for the fossils with Vivianite and Rhodochrosite in them? -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanK Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Great finds Roman! Have you ever been able to get back to that Devonian site you visited before? Have you ever been down to Kertch to look for the fossils with Vivianite and Rhodochrosite in them? Hi Dave, thank you. Yes I visited The Devonian site last September and going to get back again soon. I've been to Kerch many times but before my fossil colecting hobby happened and so didn't aware about fossils with Vivianite and Rhodochrosite in them. But I know people who visited Kerch (Crimea) particular for fossil hunt and can ask if you interested.
