Nice finds and some great photos! 

A good day out it seems. 

I particularly love the Rhipidomella! 

Thanks Adam. If you love Rhipidomellas you would be in heaven here. They are very abundant at a number of sites in New York.

Pretty productive trip! I like all those bivalves - quite the diversity just within that group. The other stuff is great too.

Thanks. The bivalve diversity in that part of New York is greater than any other Paleozoic sites I've visited so far.

I do. 

My wifey really wants to visit NY, but i think it's a bit cold for me. 

And I'm scared of cars.

Hi Jeff! I am really glad that you were able to make it out and have a good time. You got some nice specimens as I knew you would. Congratulations! 

Thanks Dave and thanks for informing me the site was accessible. We'll have to do this together next time.

Some real winning bivalves there, Jeffrey! - And that Glyptomaria gastro is a charmer.  If you and Dave haven't hoovered them all up, I hope to get down there later this month. 

Hi Kane. I hope you do come and I hope that I'll be available to join you then. I'm sure you'll find it very worthwhile.

Thank you for these beautiful photos. I love Devonian brachiopods. Too bad he does not flush near my home.

Thank you. I was impressed with the variety of Cretaceous ones you've found. I have only one species of Cretaceous brachiopod I found in New Jersey.

Some neat stuff over there!

Thank you. I agree. Plenty of reasons for a trip up north.

Upstate New York can be quite hot in the summer. The area around Deep Springs Road is all farms with cars often outnumbered by Amish horse buggies.

You'll have to bring your own.

April 28th for anyone who's interested in making a group outing of it. I will be heading out with @Kane on a weekend expedition and it's looking like DSR is the Saturday feature!

Sounds like plan. I'll try to be there.

[Malcolmt]

Wow sounds tempting but have plans for the 28th.. Hopefully some other time

[Fossil-Hound]

@Jeffrey P wow that is a sweet looking Spyroceras and the Greenops is nearly complete. Keep looking for a complete Greenops. You'll get one. Do you know what species of Greenops this is?
