Sounds like You had a good trip with some very nice finds.

Thanks, I revisited the place you and I had gone to a couple years ago which is where I found that Acrothele subsidua, it is still a good place to dig.:ighappy:

Nice finds. Those productids are great!

I almost forgot to show them off! I was quite happy to find those two in the first 10 minutes of looking at that site. They're one of the best fossils I've found which is saying something. They're hard to get any with spines attached there because it was a high energy environment but I found two in the same rock:D

I guess the environment ran out of energy in that corner then.

Now, I just have to find a quiet corner at Fossil Mountain to get a full trilobite. :hearty-laugh:

As the others have said: Great report and nice pics! Wish I could do one like it. Someday maybe....

I wonder why we hardly see any fossils available from Fossil Mountain... Lots of Cambrian stuff from Utah, but hardly any Ordovician. (I have one fossil from the Utah Ordovician, a graptolite from the Fillmore Fm.)

Hi,

 

Nice area, but don't put a pair of scissors to give the scale, there are all sizes, it is useless ;)

Hey thanks! It's a bit of a drive and a hike. They aren't usually complete. They're not as pretty to some people who would rather have a full trilobite from the Cambrian so less people collect there. I haven't gotten any graptolites yet. I'd love to see yours if you wanted to post it.
