Phevo Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Really nice clams, i especially like the one with both sides Link to post Share on other sites
Fossildude19 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Very nice finds, Gordon - good variety of bivalves. The last unidentified one looks like Modiomorpha sp. Paleozoic pelecypods don't get much love or exposure, here on the Forum. Glad to see you and Jeffery combating that. Thanks for posting. Regards, 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Jeffrey P Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Hi Gordon. Thanks for posting this. It was a great site and a great time with you and Chris. A very diverse bivalve population, plus gastropods and other treats. Really lucked out with the weather. They were predicting 100% chance of rain, but the rain stopped before we arrived and later the sun came out. A couple NYS Troopers were also positive companions displaying curiosity and support. The site, which is located near Wurtsboro (Sullivan Co.) NY. is, I believe, the Mount Marion Formation. Here's a couple of my bivalve finds. I'll be adding some gastropod pics later. By the way, those Goniophora rock!!! Pseudoaviculopecten princeps and Cimitaria recurva 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Shamalama Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Great finds by all Gordon and Jeff! I was going to comment that the rock and preservation looked like the Skaneateles formation but perhaps that is equivalent to the Mount Marion formation. Link to post Share on other sites
Jeffrey P Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Hi everybody. As promised here are a couple more photos of finds from Monday's trip. These are gastropods: The first is a Platyceras. The second one is a chunk of siltstone with at least three gastropods and parts of bivalves. The gastropods I have not been able to identify.

Wrangellian Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 They don't get much love but I am one who appreciates seeing them. (Gastros too) Link to post Share on other sites
