Went on a little "Easter Egg Hunt" with my folks, found some excellent fossils. day was hot but I enjoyed it. I have provided my best ID, but please feel free to correct if you can identify it further! it helps with my labeling system for sure. this lizard was good luck right next to where my mom was standing i noticed this beauty sticking out of the rock further excavation revealed this possible horn coral? eldredgeops rana heads trilobite glabellar fold ( possibly Odontocephalus?) Dipleura rib impression (Very exciting to have found 3 species in one trip!) amonoid Cephalopod Agoniatites vaxunemi (note the preservation of the sutre lines). and here is a conularid i found as well Possible pelecypod? brachiopods and lastly a couple of crinoid buttons dug out of the rock

Hey all, Decided to hit the Mahantango today. This spot has historically produced a complete trilobite during my hunting. While my collecting has become more selective as I have to try to keep storage in mind, I did pick up a few examples that I wanted to share. This I believe is a Platyceras? While I am getting more selective on keeping heads, I particularly liked this association of a head and pygidium. I do not believe these are the same specimen as the size and angles would be off but it did make me think of the rough sediments and potential storms that entombed these two together. Here I have some enrolled Eldregeops specimens, the leftmost is missing its head but flipped over does have the connected thorax. The centermost specimen is bisected and is only what you see in the picture, the other side is simply matching the matrix. Probably due to weathering out of the rock or splitting poorly, (I found him loose among the weathered material.) Additionally the rightmost specimens are complete (or relatively complete) and each show some great detailing of the compound eyes. The three rightmost specimens were found on my previous trip. Lastly, literally my final split of the day I uncovered this little creature! While only one of his spines was showing, I carefully hit the rock and was able to remove some more of the matrix around it. Additionally I managed to grab some more general trilobite material that will be used to give to other collectors in trades or will be donated to a home where they can help shed some light on the fascinating lives of these ancient creatures.

Here is a E. rana fossil I found at Penn Dixie the year after I started collected fossils in 2015. It shows clear evidence of having been partly crushed by a horn coral on pleurites 5 through 10 only on the right side. The curvature of the thorax elements support this interpretation as well as demonstrate remarkable flexibility. This is a specific event that must have taken place shortly before, during or after the demise of the trilobite, while it was still malleable to be so contorted. Pardon the poor prep, I used a sewing pin in a pin-vise to clear away matrix. All images are the same specimen. Some suggest (not only conspiracy theorists) that this may depict - dare I say- a Devonian murder scene caught in the act! (this is where you chuckle). Pretty cool. What do you think?

Two Inch or 5 cm Phacops Eldredgeops rana from Penn Dixie! Great! Hey, wait a minute.
Biotalker posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Penn Dixie Fossil Park in Hamburg, NY is known for small but plentiful Eldredgeops rana and aside from a rare mortality plate, finding a complete 2 inch specimen is a big deal! So imagine my excitement when I uncovered this. OK, not entirely complete because I messed up the extraction a bit. But this unfortunate character managed to lie down on one pleural lobe, and get squished literally laterally. All three pics are the same trilobite, with the third picture being the classic dorsal view. Hath this nonconforming fellow no sense of the future? How common is this in your experiences?- 2 replies

Hey everyone! Happy to finally be making another entry. Over the last couple of weeks I've been reading Richard Fortey's "Trilobite" and thus itching to get back into the field and see some for myself. Driving from New York to Chicago I decided to make a pit stop at Ohio's Paulding Community Fossil Garden and try my luck at finding some eldredgeops fossils. Here's what the garden looks like when you arrive: You're basically wading through fossils step after step. Here's the best of what I found, excluding some nice surface-collected brachiopods I've been handing out to friends here in Chicago. I have a few questions about what I've found, if anybody could give me their input it would be very much appreciated!! A lot of little bits. Crushed Eldredgeops rana cephalon about 1.75" wide. What I assume is a juvenile Eldredgeops rana? Size is about that of a dime. Tried to get to the surrounding shale using a pin vise but yielded scarce results. I'd be really grateful for any suggestions from more experienced preppers! Small, nickel sized brachiopod with something that looks to be stuck onto it! Anybody encounter this before?? I would attempt to prep off some of this muck but I don't want to risk damaging anything. Is a pin vise enough? A brush and some sort of solution maybe? Thanks for looking! I'm in Chicago as I write this, and just this morning paid a visit to the legendary Dave's Down To Earth Rock Shop in Evanston. There are walls littered with incredible stones, ancient tools and fossils. Everywhere. Imagine my surprise when encountering a familiar face.

This year I pulled the trigger on heading to Penn Dixie for the Dig With the Experts weekend! Definitely would highly recommend . I drove up from Boston to the Buffalo area on Thursday and spent the day Friday digging with @Malcolmt and @JamesAndTheFossilPeach. It was a blast! Thanks again guys for giving me a lay of the land. Credit to @JamesAndTheFossilPeach for the find of the day with a giant Eldredgeops (pic below). Saturday and Sunday were spent looking for trilobites in the roped off Dig With the Experts section of excavated shale with some success. Monday I drove back to Boston, and stopped to stretch my legs in Glenerie, NY to walk a stretch of road looking for Devonian brachiopods and gastropods. Got a couple! All in all, a great trip... although I'm nice and sore . Here are my takeaways from the weekend. I tried to get a bit of the entire Penn Dixie Ecosystem keeping at least one of everything and as many trilobites as I could find. I wish I took more pictures Saturday and Sunday, but I was too busy splitting shale . Cheers, Barret

I got this from the same estate I got everything else. This came to me with no information. From the little I've learned this is a Trilobite Eldredgeops Rana? Am I right? If not, what is it? It is 3 mm long. Thank you, everyone and Merry Christmas!
