After stopping at the Aurora Fossil Festival Saturday morning and attending a friends retirement festivities in Winston-Salem NC that evening, on Sunday I was up and on the road by 7 in an attempt to make it to Penn-Dixie near Buffalo NY before they closed at 5 so I could meet up with Devoniandigger (Jay). The GPS said it would be a 9 1/2 hr drive so it would be close, and as it happens construction on I-77 and elsewhere extended the drive so I arrived at 7 PM, too late to meet anybody. Fortunately Jay had helped me get a membership, so I felt comfortable walking around and getting the lay of the land before heading to a nearby motel. I was back at the gate by 6:30, and by the time I left around 11 (as I had to get to my parents place in Ontario that day) I was pretty worn out by digging up and splitting blocks of shale. Actually, I pulled the plug on that by 10 so I could wander around and score some nice brachiopods from the piles. The find of the day was a nice "piggy pile" (Kane's term, thanks!) of Eldredgeops, at least 5 and maybe more. I also grabbed a potential pair of nice side-by-side rollers, a couple of flattened rollers, what is possibly a piece of wood with lycopodish leaf scars, a smorgasboard of brachiopods, a nice Platyceras, and a small pile of solitary rugose corals. I will definitely be a return customer! Don
