Possible coprolite with insect wing fossil? Upstate NY Hudson valley find
featherandbone posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this in orange county, Hudson valley NY. The specimen is approximately 6 inches in diameter. It has little tunnel like holes in it and this ridged fossil. Could this be a coprolite? Is the fossil a wing, or could it be plant material? Thank you for your help! -
Provenance is a problem.. sample is a cobble of late Wisconsin glacial origin, derived from a Lake Ontario shoreline drumlin environment. It most likely originated in the drumlin sediments. Existing studies place the majority of the sedimentary till clast sources as locally derived late Ordovician, early Silurian mud/silt/sandstones and limestones (minor) deposited in an epicontinental sea environment.. via macrostrat, undifferentiated Medina Group and Queenston Formation. Oswego Sandstone is also a contributor to area till. And there are plenty of Canada and Adirondack gneiss clasts and others to found indicating transport from these areas. Stone is siliclastic. Thinking paralitic clastic marginal marine, perhaps tidal, based on rip up clasts at bottom, heterolithic bedding in the center area, cut chanel in L stone (center, upper third). Polished section on right. Scale in mm. What made the burrow and bioturbation above it? I welcome your input.

ah so hello friends its been a while I recently bought and found a whole bunch of fossils
jcorradino posted a topic in Fossil ID
I do have more, but I can't upload them all; it's a decent bit of stuff. Also, I want to know if I should give any to researchers. Most of these are either from the Morrison Formation or Hell Creek. also 1 is from NY in these few anyway- 20 replies

Hello everyone. I'm making this post to show my recent trip to Central New York and what I found. I would also really appreciate advice on better techniques and further identification. I started the trip by entering Tully, NY. I had heard there was a good site behind the hotel, right next to the exit. Unfortunately, the large exposed rock face was now marked with do not trespass signs. I decided to drive around the old quarry there and eventually found a random pile of rocks that I assumed were from the quarry to dig through. In there, I found the first two fossils. Two pieces of Crinoid stem and a nice little Brachiopod. (Photo 1). Then, after doing a bit of research, I decided to head to Madison County. In Madison, I found an old quarry on Brigs Road. The quarry was divided into two tiers, and the top seemed to have a lot more fossils. After sifting through some of the rubble, I found a Trilobite section (photo 2) and a Trilobite imprint (photo 3). At the base, I also found several Brachiopods (photos 4–6). Most interesting, though, I believe is (photo 7), which appears to be a Crinoid feather segment, which are considerably harder to find than their stems. Finally I went down a ways to the Deep Springs Road quarry. This one had three tiers but I decided to focus on the top one. I dug in two areas. one halfway up the top tier and the other at the very top. Both proved very productive in trilobite sections. From this site, I recovered (photos 8-10). Unfortunately, no complete Trilobite was found. Interestingly, photo 8 had very fine preservation of the eye and intricate detail can be made out. Overall, this was a great trip and I found some interesting stuff, especially since I had rather limited tools, using only a hammer. The main take aways are the high abundance of Trilobites in deep springs and the dense Brachiopod death layers in Brigs. I'll have to come back with better equipment to further investigate.
