Yes, the texture on those pieces does not look like plant to me. I can't wait to see the amphibian jaw!

It took me a while but I'm bringing more photos of the specimen. I'm starting to think it's rather a bone or maybe a plesiosaur tooth... Awaiting your opinions :-)

That's smashing. -
Thank you guys! I'll go look for some papers and photo's to compare And of course prep some more, I will try sandblasting in a few days

Here are some of the brachiopods we collected at Penn Dixie, including a pocketful from the Wanakah Shale, which @DevonianDigger gave to me. Thanks again, Jay!

Sorry, I shouldn't have said crinoid stem, I should've just left it at crinoid. Old habits. I would be willing to agree with Malcolm's assessment. Not going to be able to give a species, but the arm is likely.

It's interesting that you mention lithic artifacts. We saw a deposit of flint nodules, and I thought there must be artifacts somewhere because ancient people valued those deposits. There was one large area of tiny gravel and broken-up limestone pieces. I suspect it was dumped there long ago by the mining industry before that land was reclaimed. It seemed out of place with the immediate surroundings. Otherwise, we didn't see much worth investigating.

Thank you!

An unusual location.

Thanks Joseph! The paper was actually already published (the link to it is on my first post in this thread, right above my pictures). -
Sorry, Dave. It was my one regret, but they were also squirming away rather too quickly after I disturbed them for me to take off the dirty gloves and whip out the camera. It has been an unusually soggy spring. Probably best anyway to wait out any river trips until June or later to let the waters subside. All of Southwestern Ontario seems stuck in an odd trench battleground between the cold/warm fronts, with shots of moisture coming from the US midwest.

A "molcisor" ?

Yoda replied to britishcanuk's topic in General Fossil Discussion
Friend of my inlaws heard that I am into fossil collecting. (I think he has some sort of qualification in geology). He didn't want this book anymore, so sent it to me. It was printed in 1940, so quite out of date. But since there aren't too many book on Paleobotany, I am pleased to have it. -
Nice haul Don! Sweet croc tooth
