A new lower Devonian Eurypterid fauna in Pennsyvania
Dean Ruocco posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hello All! For awhile I've known the Keyser Formation hosted eurypterids, and today was the day I encountered it! Me and 2 geologist gained access to an exposure on private property and were surveying it when I found a waterlime bed with overlying mudcracks, I would start my typical survey of the bed when I encountered a segment, and it just got better from there. Unlike other horizons I've collected all over this layer is not very dense, but consistently the bed was producing. After about 4 hours of intense digging I decided to call it quits for the day. 2 different and distinct eurypterid Species have been collected, one is some sort of Pterygotid likely the genus Acutiramus, and the other is the genus Erieopterus. The Erieopterus differs from the only other Devonian Eriopterus, Erieopterus microphthalmus in its head shape, with it being wider and the eyes being spread further. The best specimens collected were a plate with 2 heads on it and a Tergite from a pterygotid. Ill attach some pictures below. Top to Bottom: Erieopterus sp. Double head Erieopterus sp. (Note the legs on the left specimen) Pterygotid undet. close up of the scales, Pterygotid undet. Layer specimens were collected from.- 5 replies

Hello to all. 3 samples from my collection. Place of find - Ukraine, Khmelnytsky region; age - Silurian, Ludlow Series (425-427 Ma). All samples have retained positive and negative. 1. Slab with several sea-scorpions Eurypterus Tetragonophtalmus. I think a good preparation will open as many as 2 or 3 sea-scorpions.

Fossil trip Hudson Valley to locate Wurstboro NY Eurypterids
Stingray posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Ok so I’m trying to get a group together to locate a bedding plane that has produced Eurypterids in the past ( James Hall plates ). Many hours of searching and reading have given me the location of the area of discovery. I usually have no issues hunting alone for finds but do to the locals , which I have attached an image of below. I would prefer to have company on this visit for additional safety measures . I’m free most days so hunting days are open for me. Oh and there are two locals there look close on the left for the black one- 5 replies

My first stop on this east coast trip was to upstate NY. We actually camped at the herkkimer diamond mind in the town of Herkimer, but the euripturid quarry was only about 20 minutes away. This is the only picture I have for now, all my other specimens are in boxes. The calvert cliffs were more fun and relaxing, but this was the most exciting. Once I go through all my boxes and do whatever prep is needed I will show more pictures.

Hi all. I have this specimen i bought fra a dealer in western europe It's from the Lesmahagow in scotland. I bought it as a Slimonia, but was later advised on facebook that it's in fact a ceratiocaris. What do you guys here think? I'm pretty convinced it's a ceratiocaris. What confuses me is that the dealer is quite experienced and he collected it himself decades ago, and got it id'ed by the museum in Edinburgh

July 23,2019 Its been so hot working outside all week that today's fossil hunt in 70 degree temps felt cool. It was quiet in the stream (besides the sound of wildlife) when I got there in the AM and stayed that way all day. I didnt want to disturb the scene with me pounding on rocks so I surface collected and covered a large area of the stream. Along the sides of the stream are glacial erratic boulders, stones, and gravel. The tabulate corals (Chonostegites clappi, Favosites winchelli, Favosites sp.) I pictured in this post were found among these glacial rocks. In one gully off the stream I noticed a large boulder of Waterlime. I have found parts of Eurypterids in these displaced Silurian rocks before. Today I found a partial Eurypterid on one of these boulders but had to leave it where I found it. Too big and way too far to haul back. Happy Collecting, Mikeymig

Hello all! I'm looking for recommendations on good resources to help me identify a ton of material that I recently acquired from the Sojka eurypterid collection. I believe it is all from the Bertie Waterlime, but I can't be entirely sure. Some of the pieces have collection numbers, but I don't have access to the collection records. I am guessing that any of the collection records went with the rest of the collection to the Yale Peabody, but I can't imagine that I would honestly be able to match up the information without a lot of time and access. There's a lot of assorted material and lots of bits and pieces to ID. I figure that this will give me a good opportunity to learn a ton about a new subject! Thanks! - J
