hrguy54 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 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. DSC_0038.jpg DSC_0040.jpg DSC_0041.jpg Small enrolled Eldredgeops Are the trilos prepped yet? It looks like you have a few nice ones Still no air scribe? who needs it? All you need is a few safety pins a toothbrush and some water. Really isn't difficult, just need patience.

DevonianDigger Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 New find from today, haven't even cleaned him off yet. Without question the largest Eldredgeops I've ever found. Can't wait to see if the rest of him is hiding in there! Jay A.

DevonianDigger Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Bellacartwrightia with some nice pygidium. (Thank you to GerryK for the confirmation!)

GerryK Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 DSC_0070.jpg Little unprepped bit of Pleurodictyum americanum. Going to be pretty after it's cleaned up! If you see a crinoid stem sticking out of your coral, it could be an Antholites 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevonianDigger Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 If you see a crinoid stem sticking out of your coral, it could be an Antholites I wish I had taken a picture of it, but we found a giant crinoid calyx about 2.5" across, that stayed with the PD collection.

DevonianDigger Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 The pygidium looks like a Bellacartwrightia Thank you! That's why I uploaded it. I was fairly certain of that myself, I've been trying to convince people they are in there, but it hasn't gotten much traction. I've been looking very hard for them! Jay A.

fossilcrazy Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 DSC_0074.jpg 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. (The shattered pieces were too small to salvage from the cracks... ) Just so you know . . . you have pictured a Protoleptostrophia. A very thin, flat and fragile Brachiopod. Stropheodonta is more robust concave and larger. Just saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still very much an amateur when it comes to my brachiopod taxonomy. I have admittedly only learned to identify the very common ones so far. I see you're local! Maybe at some point we'll bump into one another and I can learn a little more! Jay A.
