mikeymig Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 From my first hunting trip 2/23/2018 and prepped on 3/28/2018 by Markus Martin. This is a very rare find for New York and a first for me. Gennaeocrinus nyassa (Crinoid) with Platyceras erectum (gastropod) Middle Devonian, Moscow formation, Livingston County, New York. Size - 27mm. The snail Platyceras would climb up the crinoids stem and attached itself over the animals anus for free food. Yummy. Its a moment in time of two different species interaction frozen for 380 million years.Thanks Collected: 2/23/2018 Prep completed: 3/28/2018 Scientific/common name: Gennaeocrinus nyassa (crinoid) with attached Platyceras erectum (gastropod) Age/formation: Middle Devonian/Moscow Formation Locality: Livingston county, NY. 4 Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 On Saturday March 24th I accompanied a UGA paleontology (actually "Historical Geology") class on a field trip to a quarry in Lacon, Alabama. Here thick pure limestones of the Mississippian Bangor Formation are quarried, but thinner more shaly/sandy layers are dumped to the side. It was this material we were allowed to search. And, it was here I found this set of teeth, my best find to date of Mississippian shark teeth: Collected: 3/24/2018 Scientific/common name: Helodus sp. (shark tooth whorl, 5 articulated teeth) Age/formation: Mississippian/Bangor Formation Locality: Lacon, Alabama Specimen is 8.7 mm in longest dimention. note: the darker grey tinted photo is most realistic about natural color. The others are more tan than the fossil is in person, due to the microscope lights. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
