silverford Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 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.

fossilcrazy Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 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.
