sue in ohio Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 This is the spot I've been talking about climbing at. The pics don't show how huge this spot really is...it's my new playground when I can squeeze a climb in... pic # 2, 3, 4 and 5 I've found lots of shells (imprints and casts), coral, partial triol and my latest find..is a strange little creature called Michelinocerasa...(http://www.tonmo.com/science/fossils/nautiloids.php). It's the one with the long thin cone like body and tenticules like an octopus coming out the end of it. I've found 3 of them encased in the same chunk of rock. This is what they look like partially exposed in the matrix..(http://digsfossils.com/fossils/pa_turbotsville.html).....pic # 1, 9 and 10 pic# 6, 7 and 8..me climbing around the exposure pic#11...possibly tail end of a trilo ?? pic# 12 and 15..odd assortment of fossils in matrix pic# 13..leaf fossil impression pic# 14..not sure what this is but it has a tiny shell in the middle that makes it look like a hole in the pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Very neat site and the ripples make me jealous. I've always wanted a huge chunk of rock with ripples on it for my front yard but never have the front end loader and dump truck handy when I find them Lockhaven area sounds like Devonian rocks and if your finding ripple marks there is a chance you'll find a chunk of fossil wood or maybe fish parts. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt find any of those when i was at the site...don't think you can find that stuff there. But there are lots of corals at that site.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
