fossilcrazy Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I think for the whole of 2014, I was at Ft.Erie, Canada to collect only 5 times. On the second to the last visit, I bagged a Juvenile Eurypterus lacustris. It is as enjoyable to collect the little ones as it is their bigger brothers. Here is this year's 2014 Eurypterid baby- Before him came-Before him came-Before him came- The Eurypterid nursery was at times larger, but over the years some were traded off.

Shamalama Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Beautiful! That reminds me that I need to post my finds from October when I last visited. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Geee Dave, don't make it too appealing, we will be struggling to get appointments into the quarry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I love the little ones. It's great you can find ones with that much detail. Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilcrazy Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 I found a picture of some Eurypterid juveniles I found earlier. The outside 4 have been traded for fossil books. The bottom left one is the smallest that I have found to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Those really are cool! Im one of those guys who has a fossil fish collection from the Green River Formation, but I also collect the little tiny baby fish to go along with the regular sized adults. Now I see I need to get me a couple of baby Eurips too. This collecting thing never seems to stop. Ha! RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I see I need to get me a couple of baby Eurips too. This collecting thing never seems to stop. Ha! RB Hi RJB, We share some collecting habits. I started collecting Green River Fish juveniles only to find that Notogoneous are very hard to find as juveniles. Here are some of my little ones from my fossil fish display: I recall you posting about Eurypterid collecting at Al Lang's quarry. There are baby Eurypterids there too. Maybe you will get back there and score. If I'm remembering right, your part of the Galaxy is in Montana somewhere and you prep nodules from the Pacific northwest where you used to live. I liked your posts prepping Crabs and Neptunia tablata. If "this collecting thing" does stop we are probably dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Wow! You seem to know me purty dang good. I have been invited back to Langs quarry, but right now, no time or money for that. My only fossil hunting adventure for next year will be for some more GR fish, but in the 18 inch layer so I cant pass that one up. I will be on the lookout for some 'babies' but will most likey find one or two from another quarry owner I know. I too have looked for a baby noto but I know now that most probably wont happen. Dang! Here are some of my little tiny's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
