mikeymig Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 September Hunt NY 2019 I cleaned our Devonian aged fossils from the other day and assembled a group photo of our favorite finds. The brachs are rare (Elythe, Meristina) and several rare and uncommon corals (Botryllopora, Heliophyllum delicatum, large Pleurodictyums) were found. The large orange Heliophyllum (4.5") is covered in epibionts. A large enrolled Eldredgeops found in a creek stone, needs more prepping and would have been over 3" long if prone. All finds were surface collected in NY. Thanks, Mikeymig 13 1 Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymig Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 This huge Eldredgeops would be over 3 inches long if prone. Found lying in the stream and needs to be prepped soon. 2 Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey P Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Excellent finds there. Congratulations. Those rugose corals are especially eye catching. I find that Gastropoda on the far right very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will post to this thread when I finish prepping a specimen from the main pic. Good luck collecting.

mikeymig Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 A naturally exposed trilobite (Eldredgeops rana) emerging from the shale (Devonian 380 mya) with spirifer brachiopods nearby. The matrix has been clean/stabilized. A neat natural display specimen of an iconic bug. 3 Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
