  1. Hi all! At last Friday’s Dry Dredgers meeting, I handed over the two Ordovician fossils below to Dr. Carl Brett for the Cincinnati Museum Center! Standard business card for scale. This coral, which I have wrongly been identifying as Favosites sp., is from the campus of Hanover College in Indiana, in their Dr. Daryl Karns trail system. This was donated with permission from the Hanover College Geology Faculty. This Treptoceras sp. comes from the US-68 road cut in Maysville, KY, Kope Formation.
  2. Hi, I recently found this mussel in a gravel pit. Looking online it seems to match the profile of Cincinntennia meeki, but the measurements seem quite larger than what people say it should generally be. Thanks for the help.
  3. Greetings from Oberwil, Switzerland. I'm a new member on thefossilforum.com, but I've been collecting fossils from roadside stops and occasional dedicated outings for nearly 30 years. I'm a chemist by training - I fell in love with making new medicines, and have stuck with it. I find it mind-boggling to relate to the age of the fossils I'm holding...life is far more ancient, far more mysterious, far more marvellous than our imagination can comprehend. I've learned to respect life deeply...this planet is the only one where we know it exists, and has existed, for unimaginably long time. I'm in awe. I'll share some pictures from my collection in the coming days, in hopes of finding out more about where they fit into the grand scheme of life. My favorite fossils are Ordovician (Paleozoic), but I've come across some real stumpers from my trip to Madagascar a few years back; those fossils are almost certainly from the late Mesozoic. I'll be asking for advice on them soon. Ah...I'm now a Swiss citizen, but I was born to German (Swabian) parents who had emigrated to southeastern Tennessee in the early 1960's. Switzerland is home to me now. Best regards Mike
  4. I found this trilobite today and hope to prep it, or possibly have it prepped. I have no clue where to start so I am wondering if you guys could give me some suggestions/advice. Also do people in the Cincinnati area do such work? If so how much would something like that run in price?
  5. This morning I drove from my hotel in Lawrenceburg, Indiana into Kentucky for a little collecting (more on that on a separate post), and then I driven into Cincinnati, Ohio to attend the Dry Dredgers GeoFair 2022. This is one show that I have always wanted to attend, but never had the time. This year it worked out well since I was stopping over to do some collecting on my way home from Sanibel Island. I arrived at the show at 10:00 am and there was a huge line waiting to get in, I would guesstimate 125+ people. The show was held at the Sharonville Convention Center and it runs Saturday and Sunday. Outside of the venue they have a few people selling things at the Swap Tables. I really do not know much about this, except they cannot take cash and you have to use tokens that are purchased inside to get the items. Once inside, the have to booths that are manned and they collect $10.00 per adult of $15.00 if you are going to visit both days. I do not know how much it is for children. Here are some pictures from the inside of the show. CONTINUED ON NEXT POST-
  6. Registration has opened from the 7th International Conference on Trilobites & Their Relatives in Cincinnati, Ohio. This is a four day conference (including a mid-conference field trip), plus pre- and post-conference field trips. The pre-conference field trip is to the Upper Cambrian of Wisconsin, and the post-conference field trip is to the Ordovician-Devonian of New York. The latter looks like it will visit some very enticing spots (unfortunately it is quite expensive!). The mid-conference field trip will visit several classic Cincinnatian sites, including possibly the famous Mt. Orab Trilobite Farm. I registered for the conference and hopefully can spend a few extra days collecting the Cincinnatian. Hopefully I'll see some of you there! https://www.cincymuseum.org/7th-international-conference-on-trilobites-and-their-relatives/

    Tristate Trilobite Hunt

    Hi all, This week I'm heading to the tristate area (Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky) for a trilobite hunting trip. It's unusual for me insofar as it's being run by my university. Usually I do my own recon, but since I don't really know where I'll be going (I assume we'll be visiting fairly well known localities), I was wondering if ya'll could help me out. I'm trying to figure which sites are famous in the area, and which layers to look in at those sites etc. I'd appreciate any info or advice! I'll be sure to return the favor by posting a full trip report when I get back.

    Rostroconchia or Brachiopod?

    Howdy! I have a neat puzzle for the experts today! I know that rostrochonchia are not super easy to find... so I submit the follow picture. Most of the "shelled" creatures I unearth are brachiopods; cincinnetina meeki, Lepidocyclus, Rafinesquina...etc... HOWEVER! this specimen is unique to my collection. Found in northern Cincinnati - Upper Ordovician - The pronounced ridges are different than anything else found. Posted to an Ohio Fossil group, someone with a keen eye made the possibility of Rostroconchia. From my understanding these are not found often. Looking for help in identification. I do not have the tools at hand to remove anymore of the matrix without damage to the remaining fossils in the hash plate... (I have a dremel tools and dental pics...I'm lame) which are neat too. Rostrochonchia or Plaesiomys subquadratus (I compared to these specimens I had) As always, looking for education and conversation.
  9. These are not the largest specimens of this broad flat smooth dark fragment, but you can see some fragments in this sample collected from 9 mile creek just east of Cincinnati. Yes, that is a gorgeous pygidium, presumably from Flexicalimenes?

    Help identifying cool fossil

    Hey! I found this fossil in southwestern Ohio, I don't know which period it is from but as you can tell there are quite a few shells and coral embedded around it. I don't know much about fossils but my guess is it's part of the head or rear of a trilobite? I estimate it's about 3/4 inch in length. I also noticed there's another one embedded deeper to the right of it. I honestly have no idea about this one, can any of you help me out? Thanks

    Cincinnati Brachiopoda

    Dear USA Brachiopoda enthusiasts, Could you see these images please? What is your expert idea about ID? I know that could be difficult from images. Thank you for any help you can offer.
