Dig with the Experts, Deep Springs Road, Aurora Fossil Festival
bockryan posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hello! I got back from some travels to Turkey (no fossil hunting there this time, I did however have some nice fossil gifts from the US I was bringing to my relatives seized by Turkish customs which was... fun) and immediately headed to Penn Dixie for the 2023 Dig with the Experts event, which was a huge success and had perfect weather for a very fun two days of collecting the NY Devonian. Found numerous nice prone trilobites, a good selection of the available brachiopods, and the absolute find of the weekend was a sizeable, possibly complete, head shield from a placoderm, which is a dream find for me as they're easily my favorite animals. It was beyond my skill to prep though so I will have to wait until next year to see it uncovered, which will be a great intro the event in 2024 . First, while I didn't do any collecting in Greece or Turkey, I couldn't help but find a few to take pictures of. The breakwater in Istanbul appears to be full of burrow fossils and one coiled cephalopod (maybe) that I'm unsure about the age on. Any ideas? It's likely rock either taken from the Bosporus or from nearby since the blocks are so huge. The next picture is from the walls surrounding the Parthenon in Athens, which I think I read is Cenozoic marine limestone. Next we have the pictures from Penn Dixie - the Placoderm (along with a nice bonus prone trilobite) is split in two and covered in glue so it looks pretty rough now, hopefully it emerges looking good on the other side of the prep process. Not having had enough, the following weekend we returned to NY to try out the famous Deep Spring Road locality which was amazing! My mollusk collection was greatly expanded and I came away with a small rolled Dipleura and the head of a Trimerus, along with a number of Geenops fragments and assorted other material. We also checked out the nearby Museum of the Earth in Ithaca which I highly recommend if you're ever in the area. Next is the Aurora Fossils Festival, which very much did not enjoy the same weather luck as Penn Dixie but was fun all the same. I came away with tons of teeth, my first semi-complete Meg, and two very nice sting ray spines. A nice quality cetacean vertebrae continues to elude me, but they're tough to find there anyway as everything gets so beat up it seems. I was excited to find a fair few complete mollusk shells as well of many different types. They're small but really pretty, they make a nice display! Lastly, a shoutout to the incredible mural at the Fossil Museum, another thing to definitely see if you're ever in the area. -
Hi all - digging in the phosphate piles for the weekend for the Fossil Festival and found this interesting specimen that stumped most of the people I talked to. What is this? (apologies for the hand pictures, only way I could get it to focus properly)
