Lol, you guys are killing me! No one is going to want to dig with me anymore! And, @Fossil-Hound, you forgot to mention the other 6 or 7 trilobites in there that I gave to you

 

@Fossildude19, I think I led you astray on your visit when you were asking about the goniatites. Over the past weekend I was introduced to another section of the site that I don't ever check for anything, and I think I found what you were looking for.

 

 

Those appear to be pyritized Goniatites! I can send you some if you'd like since we struck out finding them while you were here. There's also tons of pyritized Ambocaelia. DM me if you'd like me to send you some!

[Fossil-Hound]

@DevonianDigger yes you were more than gracious.  Those Goniatites look awesome.  Sweet finds.

Bah! We more than made up for the single Jay'd event! As they say, to the victor go the spoils - or, perhaps, the victor goes through the spoils! For everyone else, you should know that Jay is fantastic to dig with. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic. PD made the right choice of bringing him on staff. First time visitors will never have a better guide than him. I also hear that he absolutely adores horn coral/velociraptor teeth

Lol, you're too kind.  I thought we settled on mosasaur teeth, lol!

[Fossil-Hound]

@Kane you mean Mososaur teeth.  @DevonianDigger you are awesome! Thank you so much for letting us in to dig. That was the best Spring break vacation ever.

[DevonianDigger]

@Fossil-Hound, can't wait to do it again! BTW, looks like we're shooting for Purse SP for low tide on June 18th, meeting up around 6 am.

Credit where it is due: the velo reference is from @Fossildude19

 

We could start a humorous alternative thread for coral. I have some that I could misidentify as petrified sea horse, ossified smurf hat, fossilized flan, and a whole new gastro species called complexus complicatus!

[DevonianDigger]

Ossified smurf hat, lol

[Kane]

The multi-stage, very difficult-to-extrude coprolite is by far the most common up here. Devonian critters did not have the benefit of understanding the virtues of fibre in their diets

@DevonianDigger so that weekend I'll be at a family reunion in CA. Any chance we could do it the weekend before or after? Purse is really good I'm heading there this Saturday. I usually don't go out on Sundays (church) but will head out on Saturdays. Keep me posted!

[DevonianDigger]

@Fossil-Hound, oh no!! Unfortunately, I can't change the date because I'm going down to pick up my son from Virginia and his last day of school is that Friday. Maybe I can stop out again on the way back from dropping him off in August. At least you'll be in CA, maybe you can find somewhere there to look around!

Nice finds! We had a good time with jay up there. Found some fun stuff!. We didn't get jayed.

[Kane]

In all fairness, Jay didn't take my bellacartwrightia, but he wasn't there on that day

 

still stand by that Jay is the perfect guide for PD. He lives and breathes it.  Noone goes away with Jay without something remarkable

No worries man. Dave will show you some good spots.
