DevonianDigger Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Here is a smattering of my finds from May 2016 up until last week! Good season already! I don't own an air eraser yet so I haven't done any detail prep work on anything yet. Small enrolled Eldredgeops Jay A.

DevonianDigger Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 I think this is a Pseudoatrypa devoniana, I am totally open to correction on that! Jay A.

DevonianDigger Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 I don't know what this is exactly. It's obviously a Brachiopod, but I can't say with any certainty what type. I've found several like this, they are always the same grey as the surrounding rock, are much more attached to the matrix and are fossilized much differently than the other Spinocrtias and Mediospiriders. They are much 'fatter' from valve to valve. Thoughts, anyone? Jay A.

DevonianDigger Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 One pyritized valve from a Mediospirider? Jay A. Wollin Lead Fossil Educator - Penn Dixie Fossil Park and Nature Reserve Hamburg, New York, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonianDigger Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 I don't even usually bother with the Horn Corals anymore, but these were monsters! Jay A.

DevonianDigger Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 An assortment of the various Crinoid segments, and what I believe are some bulbosus. Jay A.

DevonianDigger Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Nice little piece of Favosites hamiltomiae. Jay A. Wollin Lead Fossil Educator - Penn Dixie Fossil Park and Nature Reserve Hamburg, New York, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonianDigger Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 These may be a Spirifer consobrinus. Check against the one posted HERE. Such a great resource, thank you. I will double check and update my posts. I already see a few there that I didn't have listed properly! (Never really looked at real world taxonomy, just had my own system going for separating them.)

DevonianDigger Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Little unprepped bit of Pleurodictyum americanum. Going to be pretty after it's cleaned up! Jay A.

Fossildude19 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 The spiriferid brachiopods can be difficult to tell apart. I am sadly lacking in my knowledge of them, to be honest.

DevonianDigger Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 A neat little Rhipidomella in matrix. Oddly enough it's way stranger to find one in the matrix here than not. Jay A.

DevonianDigger Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Like I said. More of them in the buff! An assortment of various Rhipidomella. That little guy in the upper left is oblong and is something different. Not sure yet what it is. Jay A.

DevonianDigger Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 What was an absolutely incredible, pristine Stropheodonta demissa that survived hundreds of millions of years in solid rock, only to be dropped by me in my driveway.

DevonianDigger Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 There's all kinds of stuff going on in there. I see some Spinatrypa sp., some Pseudoatrypa sp., and others. Jay A.
