Mark Kmiecik 303 Report post Posted May 19 I don't believe I've done it yet so I'll say hi, and welcome to the forum now. I won't be of any help in the ID of these. I am mostly familiar with Mazon Creek nodules. A few more photos of all the other sides of both specimens will be helpful for others to help ID them, and include a ruler in the photos so we can tell how big they are. Also, did you find them in the creek, near the creek, in a parking lot, a gravel road, etc. If you know the name of the formation if you found them 'in situ', that would also help. Thank you. -Mark P.S. -- is your avatar a Massasauga? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for telling me how to fix it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree- I have found similar items out at the pits, including trilobite pieces- they were brought down by the glaciers and were left behind when the retreated.
