First Hunt Of The Year 2015.

The snow is finally gone but the water is still freezing. It was 70 degrees out and rain was on the way. I got out to one of my favorite places and found a couple neat things that I think some of you might enjoy. Thanks!

We found this brachiopod (Spinatrypa) during a collecting trip on 4/2 and when we got home and washed the mud off, we found a blastoid. We would have never found this rare fossil if we didn't pick up the brachiopod.

A couple nice brachs I found last Thursday in NY. The Megastrophia is 2.5" x 2.5" and the Spinocyrtia is 2.8" long.

Very nice! I like that blastoid. It's always cool to get a piece of rock home, then find a rare fossil in it!

Congrats on some great finds. I love those monster brachs, but the blastoid and enormous bryozoan covered rugose coral are irresistible as well. Thanks for posting.

Outstanding as always.... You alone can make me miss NYS more than any other collector on this forum.

I'm glad you've all liked my Devonian first finds of 2015.
