    Finally back at DSR

    Wow, have we been neglecting one of our favorite hobbies! Summer has been very busy, but my oldest son and I finally made it out to DSR last week. Happy to report all's well at DSR! Dylan casually found a trilobite just about as soon as he stepped out of the car, for which I told him he's grounded Just as we were about to leave, having fruitlessly broken many rocks and some skin, I finally found my own trilos basically just lying on the surface where the shale had eroded away. Enrolled trilobites were the theme of the day. It's funny how we only found that one type this trip, all about the same size. Not the greatest examples, but we were happy with them, and I particularly liked that Dylan's had some of the eye pattern preserved. Hoping we can get back before the snow flies. Fall is really a nice time to visit.
  5. Hey, did any of you guys forget a long, green chisel at deep springs road? I found one amongst the rubble last Saturday.

  7. I was just fossil hunting at the deep springs road site, and I decided to search for fossils in the dry part of the creek (downstream a bit, in the thorny brambles). I found many fossils, but I wondered as I was doing it whether fossil collection there was allowed. I figured that since the owner lets people fossil hunt on that property, and because that area was not cared for (bramble city), that it was okay. However, I stopped on the off chance that it wasn’t allowed in case it could affect any other people hunting on the site. Is fossil hunting there okay? If not, should I return the fossils I collected?

    DSR Trip Part II

    Hello again everyone, sorry for the delay between Part 1 and Part 2. I went through some more material from DSR and I've made some pretty awesome finds. I might have enough specimens for a Part 3, but I still have to go through more material. The same goes for the Penn Dixie part, I've barely touched it yet and still need to photograph the finds. To kick Part 2 off, here is my best DSR find yet! A nearly complete (unfortunately disarticulated) Echinocaris punctata!!! My kitten Indy for scale The Echinocaris has one of the spikes on its tail visible, and both valves are present. Another Phyllocarid, a Rhinocaris columbina! The reverse side shows another half, possibly from the same Rhinocaris? This cute little cephalon is one of my first Eldredgeops finds at DSR. Here's the Dipleura heads I've found so far (excluding the one from the previous trip report), This one is one of the largest I've found yet, it's 3 inches wide! This cephalon was a real heartbreaker. The other half of it was stuck under 1 1/2 - 2 feet of overburden This one is upside down I think this is a juvenile Dipleura cephalon, but I'm not 100% sure. I'll have to clean it up to be sure. Now onto the misc finds This is one of the largest Goniatites(?) I've found here, it popped out of the matrix on the way home but it should be able to be glued back. I feel like the cone shaped fossil in the center of the piece might be a Hyolith, but I don't know for sure. A lone crinoid stem, it'd be cool to see what it looks like when prepped. Not sure what kind of fossil this is, possibly a devonian putty scraper? Here's some Brachs and Bivalves from DSR, I'm not 100% sure on the ID's so if I'm wrong please correct me on it. Goniophora chemungensis? Paraspirifer acuminatus? Mucrospirifer consobrinus? Big jumble of brachs (maybe some Bivalves too?), cool golden sheen on it. I don't think it's pyritization. Assorted brachs Devonochetes coronatus? This is on the back of the possible Hyolith piece shown above. M. mucronatus? Large brachiopod and bivalve hash plate Probably the biggest Bivalve I've ever seen, let alone found. ID unknown Orthonota undulata

    DSR Crinoid

    The other day I was splitting some shale I brought back from a trip to DSR and found this awesome crinoid! It's the first complete (arms+ calyx + stem) I've seen from DSR. I'm going to have the stem transferred and then have it air abraded by a friend of mine, hopefully it'll be easier to ID by then. For now, my best guess is probably Gilbertsocrinus spinigerus
  11. My 12 y.o. son and I were looking for something to do outside on Sunday and on a whim I Googled fossil locations near us. That’s how I found out about “DSR” in Madison County, NY. We hopped in our car and found our way there. What a beautiful location! When we arrived we saw that there were already people there and I had two thoughts: 1) We’re going to get kicked out or 2) We’re really going to annoy some experienced fossil hunters as we plod about cluelessly Well, it turned out to be @Fossildude19 and @Jeffrey P! I know you guys don’t own the place, but thank you for being so kind and welcoming to us newbies, and for sharing some of your knowledge (and a trilobite) with us! I hope you had some good luck! My son and I were not well equipped that day, but still had a blast breaking up some rocks. We live nearby and I can’t wait to go back sometime. I’ve lived in this area all my life and never realized fossils are so plentiful here. I need to learn a lot more about them so I know what I’m looking at!

    Devonian Double Whammy

    I had a great time meeting up at DSR with @mattbsharks today. We shared the site with a family from Sayre, Pennsylvania, and the New York Paleontology Society also paid us a visit. I found some decent stuff but gave away some items to a gentleman from Texas, as it was his first fossilhunt. So I sent him home with some trilobite bits and pieces. We also went over to Briggs Road for a bit. I only stayed for a little while as the sun was getting to hot for my liking. Also got to meet forum member @Nautiloid and his Dad at DSR. When Matt and I got to Briggs we ran into @DrDave. So it was great to meet new friends as well as seeing old friends. Here is a pic of me when I first got there.
  13. Hello all, I found this spiriferid brachiopod steinkern (Mediospirfer? Mucrospirifer?) during my last outing to Deep Springs Road, in Lebanon/Earlville, NY. It has 3 dimples in it, that are unusal to me. I'm looking to get some opinions as to the cause here? Are they pathological ? Are they damage from predators? Are they just the way the shell grew, due to proximity to something kind of spiny? Or are they artifacts of the fossilization process? Thank you in advance, for any replies. @Shamalama @Tidgy's Dad

    Last hunt of the year!

    Here in Central New York, we have had the pleasure of fairly decent weather, for the past week. The temperature has been high enough to melt most of the snow. Today I needed to get the boys out of the house. I decided to go to Deep Springs and do a hunt while the boys shot their BB guns. We only stayed for about 1 and a half hours. It was nice to be out there. I dont think that i have been on a hunt anywhere since September? I was being picky about what i was bringing home. Some trilo bits and pieces along with a few other things. First up a Dipleura cephalon.

    the hunt goes on

    I like DSR. It's peaceful and quite. You get a nice little view. Over all a good spot. I have however been unsuccessful with finding an intact Dipleura! The detail that can been seen on them is fantastic. What amazing little monsters. A quick way to-be driven nuts. I know fossil hunting is a mix of: skill, knowledge, luck and time BUT gosh darn! I will keep trying. This is what I have to show for my effort so far.

    Deep Springs Road (first trip)

    I made my first trip out to DSR today and, with some helpful tips from some kind people on the forum, I was able to find the site and know what to look for. Its a nice little spot. Near the road, easy to get to, and quiet. I didn't find anything exceptional, but I thought I would post pics of my favorites for anyone looking up the spot. Thank you to the owners of the site for let everyone come and enjoy it.

    First dipleura!?

    Stop by deep Springs road quarry On my way back from work today. I was only able to be there for a short period of time because it started raining. Normally I really wouldn't care if I was getting rained on but of course with It being in the middle of nowhere and slick shale everywhere. NOPE. Thankfully I found a hotspot very quickly. Over all a good dig! I think I found a dipleura trilobite. Not sure. I saw a post from @Darktooth talk about them. It's in a strange position. All the trilobites I have found at DSR before are very small but other have found ones this big and bigger their.
  18. With fall just around the corner, I was able to get in a hunting trip with my friend Jeffrey P, to the wilds of upstate NY: Specifically, the Deep Springs Road Site, in Earlville. I met up with Jeff at our usual meet up place, and time, (6:00 am at a park and ride near Jeff - about an hour away from my home.) and loaded his gear into my vehicle. Off we went. We enjoyed some very nice scenery, once the morning fog lifted. Hills, streams, farms, and wildlife. We both saw a bald eagle flying by, and some turkeys, chickens, and a deer or two. After a stop for gas and some food in Roscoe, NY, we headed up to Earlville. It was, as usual, a good ride, punctuated with some great conversation, and some interesting music. We arrived at the site around 9:50 AM. The place looked like it had be worked quite a bit, with large areas of rubble from other people's digging. The weather cooperated nicely, - it was beautiful, with temps in the low 70's, and we enjoyed sun and some cool breezes. We got to work quickly, and finds came in drips and drabs. We both made some decent finds, (pics to follow.) Jeff getting ready to start the day. We hunted until about 5 pm. With a 4.5 hour drive ahead, (for me) we got on the road. A brief stop at everyone's favorite Scottish Restaurant, and a quick stop for gas, we finished the day out with more good conversation and music. Traffic was great until after I dropped Jeff off. I spent about 25 minutes in stop and go traffic on I-84 through Southbury. I got home at around 9:45 PM. Jeff is such a great guy to hunt with. Informative, supportive, knowledgeable, and often quite funny. I always enjoy hunting trips with him. Thanks again for another great trip, Jeff. Please feel free to add your finds here, Jeff. Hope you enjoyed the report and finds. Until next time, Kind regards,

    help the NOOB (DSR)

    how this today at Deep springs road quarry. I didn't make the line marks on it, it came out of the ground like that. It is small, round and dose not look like any of the other fossils I got from the site.

    Quick trip to DSR

    Hey all, My sister had a friend in town and it was my turn to come up with an activity, so naturally I took them out fossil hunting! I picked DSR since there is a 100% guarantee that everyone who looks will find something. I spent most of the time there ripping up slabs for my sister and her friend to split down. Unfortunately a thunderstorm rolled in and we had to leave early, so there is a sizeable pile of fresh material waiting for whomever gets there next. The girls found some good stuff- brachs, crinoids, and a few dipleura & greenops cephalons. I had the lucky find of the day with a decently sized, albeit disarticulated, dipleura. I think the whole thing is there, but it will take some prep to find out for sure.
  21. Yesterday I had the pleasure of leading my local club on a visit to Deep Springs Road and Biggs Road. There was a total of 19 members, which included myself and my 2 youngest boys. We met up at our club house at 8 am. I was surprised by the turnout as not many individuals actually got in touch with me to confirm wether they were coming or not, as I had asked. We drove our caravan of 10 vechles to the site without any members getting separated from the herd! we arrived at DSR about 9:30. I was surprised to see someone there. There was a gentleman who I asked if he happened to be a forum member. He said no, but he has been on the forum browsing. He introduced himself and showed me some Greenops bits and pieces that he had found. He didnt stay very long after we got there even though he stated that he hoped others would be there as he had never hunted this site before. Anyways, after I gave a brief overview of my experience with this site, everyone for a spot, and settled in for some hunting. This group consisted of a few oldtimers, some with intermediate skills, and some newbies. I went into this with the notion that I wouldnt be keeping my finds unless it was something spectacular. So I gave away just about everything I found. One almost complete Greenops, and an nearly complete cephalopod were my finds of the day. The cephalopod was poorly preserved but approximately 7 inches long. Unfortunately I didnt think about pics before I gave them away. Pics were the last thing on my mind as the heat was intense. That was the only downfall of this hunt. Everyone was trying to find any scrap of shade they could find to get a reprieve from the heat. That being said, it did seem that most everybody was enjoying finding the various. Brachs, bivalves, gastros, etc...that DSR has to offer. After a couple hours I made the suggestion of heading over to Briggs. The group all seemed ok with hunting another spot that none had been to before. I told them that the prospect of finding plenty of Eldregeops parts and pieces was high there so they were more than happy to try it out. Once we arrived at Briggs I set up a canopy that I had brought in case we needed shade. DSR atleast has some, Briggs none at all. Just about everyone found trilo bits there. We stayed until about 2 and then decided to call it a Day. I will try to get some pics of the few items that my and my boys brought back but I am having trouble with my phones camera. It seems that my pic files are always too big and most times resizing or cropping still does not bring the file size down to the proper size limit. Anyhow, it was a great day despite the heat. It was also nice to help out my club by showing them a couple new sites. Somebody asked if I would become the new fieldtrip coordinator for the club. I dont know, we'll have to see.......
  22. It seems like an eternity since the last time I was able to go fossilhunting. Yesterday the weather was great, so I decided it was time to get back out there. My two youngest and myself stopped first at Briggs Road to try our luck finding some trilos. I was amazed to find the sight just as it was left back on April 27th when everyone left from the group hunt. I took advantage of the spot where @Al Tahan scored his Eldredgeops. The sun had worked its magic and made the matrix pretty workable. It didnt take long before I found a nice trilo. I haven't taken measurement yet but it is a decent size Eldredgeops, or one but the head is covered with matrix. The thorax and pygidium popped off during extraction but I bit of glue and some prep should fix that. We all found trilo bits and pieces with a couple possible whole ones. The sun was radiating off the pit enough that it felt like an oven for the hour and a half we were there. After leaving Briggs, we headed over to Deep Springs to see what goodies we could score. I saw alot of digging which probably took place during the other half off the group hunt. I really wasnt in the mood for serious digging myself so I resigned to surface scan and shale splitting I was rewarded with some brachs and a nice gastropod.there were many different types of fossils present but I decided to be picky. I only kept a few that I felt were worthy. At one point while surface scanning I saw a familiar sight. It was a negative off a large fish scale, like the one Al had found recently. It was still attached to the host rock so I broke of the chunk and brought it home thinking If it matches the one Al has I would give it to him. We stayed for about an hour and a half there and then it was time to head home the heat was getting to us and the boys were tired. While we were getting ready to leave, we were approached by a gentleman on a tractor. I thought I may be the owner of the property, but as it turned out he was a guy who works for the owner. His name is Mark. He asked if the boys enjoyed themselves and we talked for about a half hour about all sorts of things. He told me about the owner, who he was, and where he lived. He stated that they are amazed that with all of the people who come to hunt the property, they never find trash. That is one of the reasons the owner is more than happy to let people hunt it. We also talked about hunting, fishing, Bee keeping, and of course fossils. I showed him some of our finds and explained what they were. He seemed like a really nice guy. It was a great way to end the trip. I am going to post pics but it may take awhile as some need to be resized. I haven't quite figured out the camera on my new phone. But for now I will leave you with this pic. This is what happens when a bald guy forgoes the sunscreen and only wears a baseball cap. This is also how i looked last night when i went out for dinner and then drinks.
  23. Hello all! It's almost spring, and that means it's time for @Kane and me to alter the geography of New York state once again! Current plans are to start at Penn Dixie on April 26th, then off to the DSR area on Saturday. Sunday is a mystery still, but we're working on it. As always, anyone is welcome to come out and join in the destruction, er... fossil hunting. Last year was a heck of a thing, lots of good stuff was found, and I think everyone had a pretty good time. @Pagurus, @JamesAndTheFossilPeach , @Fossildude19 , @Malcolmt, @Jeffrey P (I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting off-hand.)
