Crinoid Queen Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Man I am so excited i went out Mon and Tue and in my creek bed a huge piece of beadrock lifted off of the dig site! These 3 r just the tip of what i found. Plus i found my first Platycrinites I Love those twisted stems of these guys they are so awsome. He is just a little guy but still rare! I think it is Platycrinites saffordi any one else have an idea of what genus he is. Of course i found another decadactalus i seem to find one of those every time i go out for some reason? The last one is very intreging i dont even have any idea to start on this one? I will post more pics of the rest of the stuff as i get it cleaned:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 It is now abundantly clear that you have a world-class site at your disposal! Congratulations!! Be advised that, if it's location gets out, it could become badly exploited. Keep its location confidential (except for me, of course! ).

lawooten Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Very nice specimens you found here. That third one I have also found and when you find out what it is, I would like to know. We hope to get to Alabama this fall to add to our collection. Are you able to get large slabs? The best days are spent collecting fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I am so jealous! You have a great site there, definitely keep it quiet. Any pieces you want to trade or sell? -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.
