Shamalama Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 @FossilDAWG Yes, Let me find it at home (or at least the pics I took of it) and I will post here later. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Shamalama Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 Here are a couple of pics of the specimen I found last year but it has not been cleaned as well as the one Malcolm worked on. I'll have to take this up to him when I next visit. It is about half the size of the one I found this year and also enrolled but crushed nearly flat in different dimensions. It too was found in the south pit at Hungry Hollow. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Malcolmt Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 That one could benefit a whole lot from a little prep work. I definitely have got to give the South pit a chance one of these days......Wonder if my buddy Kane might be up for another Friday visit before the snows hit.... Rainy , bleak day here in Ontario today..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainy , bleak day here in Ontario today..... I never turn down an opportunity to get to Arkona. Yesterday was pretty nice, weather wise. Weather network says Nov 10th may be nice and sunny. Oh, and that plate with the two Greenops has a third one on it. It will take a bit of restoration. There is a chance for a fourth one, but I'll have to explore it a bit more. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one should prep out beautifully... and would make a perfect gift for any Ontario fossil collector you know whose name rhymes with "Spain." Both of these definitely have to be posted in the Arkona list on your blog! ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 That one may be flattened some but it's a beautiful bug. The eyes look to be in perfect condition. I'll have to look through my collection but I'm pretty sure I don't have even a piece of an E. iowensis from Arkona. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Don, There are plenty of pygidiums and cephalons found in the Hungry Hollow of E. iowensis but the articulated specimens are the hard ones to find. I'll have to look through my boxes of findings to see if I have any other pieces. 23 hours ago, Kane said: A very nice one, as well.

Guess I'll just have to give it to some other Ontario collector. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Shamalama Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Ok, It's a rainy day here in Philly so I had some time to do a quick search through my Arkona findings boxes. I think I found an isolated cephalon and pygidium of E. iowensis. I also found this little, 1cm diameter roller in matrix that is likely a regular Eldredgops. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Malcolmt Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 looks like you are finding lots of them .... Can't say I have ever found even a piece. But then I probably have a total of 8 hours ever at the south pit..... Always spend my time on the north side...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
