I will put up part of the story on my blogspot: Silver discovered near America's oldest silver mine... however, it won't be complete detail... but, if and when I give any lecture on the Olenellus bedding in York, I will let people here know about it in advance should anyone live close enough to come.

I will make a point to call you in the Spring for a visit. Love that Lower Cambrian fauna, especially the ones with eyes.

Cabin fever is brewing and so is the cold weather. It's a stand off.

120 trilobites...I'll bet your pockets were full! Nice to find such a prolific location.

Since I last posted I have found quite a few more Kinzers creatures...Maybe 150 more Olenellus Thompsonai, Paedeumias, Wannerias included...Also a Tuzoia polloni...First one of this species in PA...And possibly a new soft coral which is at Harvard now...

Mighty fine specimens! What a story. Quite interesting to see the different types of preservation/mineralization. Wow I miss being up there. 

 

Thanks for updating the post and showing us your finds! Regards, Chris

Jackpot!

Very nice. Is that the Tuzoia between the 2 trilos above?

I'd like to see more of those more obscure items as well as the trilos, if you have them.

Wish I lived close enough or could travel to visit the site.

After four years of digging in the new Kinzers site and two years of waiting, three lead Scientists are now ready to declare a new Genus of Echinoderm from this York County PA site; Yorkicystis haefneri will be declared in December 2019. Thanks everyone... Christopher Haefner.
