Swarthmore Fossil Hunting Club Visits the Montour Fossil Pit
cabes234 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hello all, yesterday I led a trip to the Montour Fossil Pit with several other Swarthmore students as one last fun thing to do before final season begins and everyone gets consumed by work. We had 5 people in total including myself there and we had quite a good time. Currently I am in the process of receiving images of everyone’s finds and several students want their stuff ID’d so I have a post for that under the proper section to get their questions answered but I thought everyone would enjoy a more general trip-report style post, I will update this post with other people’s finds as they come in. Here are my finds: A coral stem A partial bivalve with both sides preserved. Mediospirifer brachiopod What appears to be a spirifer brachiopod with all the folds well preserved. 2 Chonetes brachiopods, one with a crinoid stem fossil as a bonus. And finally my favorite find of the day, a very very small Greenops pygidium, which was preserved in great detail. Hope you all enjoy these! Caleb -
I collected a few fossils from the Mulbring quarry in the 1980's yet it's time I reduced my treasures & before moving house if possible. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Post isnt an option as I'm time poor.
