Mystery Trilobite From Western New York: Non-Greenops Non-Eldredgeops Phacopid?
NoahW24 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Last year, while looking around a quarry in Upstate NY (Middle Devonian, Moscow fm), I stumbled across a trilo-bit I have had trouble placing. It’s some kind of phacopid, but not an Eldredgeops, and it just doesn’t feel like a Greenops. Found at a site with associated Dipleura dekayi, Greenops, Eldredgeops, Tornoceras, orthocerid nautiloids. The first photo is the mystery bug in question, followed by a Greenops and an Eldredgeops from the same site for easy side-by-side comparison. The final picture is a close visual analogue I’ve found online, though it is Moroccan and I am unsure of the location of origin.

I went with the Delaware Valley Paleontological Society to a few spots in Central New York last month. Cole Hill Rd. in Hubbardsville has several outcrops on private land where the owners are willing to share with fossil hunters. We scrabbled up and down the scree - Whee- and found our fill of trilo-bits, including one Dipleura cephalon covered with druse calcite, plus oodles of brachiopods, nautiloids, straight-shelled cephalopods, gastropods of all different shapes, and bivalves. I learned a tough lesson that afternoon. Always wrap your specimens as you go. Not only will they keep from breaking, but they are easier to find when your bucket tips and tumbles down the hillside across countless tons of scree There were lots of pained faces around me as I hunted down the things I'd already found.. It took me half an hour to recover everything I could, but the best ones managed to make it home. Dilpeura trilobite cephalon Another trilobite cephalon, found by someone else in the group. This one is covered in sparkling calcite. Crinoid holdfast? with Ptomatis rudis gastropod unknown, probably nautiloid Cornellites fasculata bivalve Palaeozygopleura sp. misc. unknown brachiopods If anyone has any ideas, I'd like to hear them. This spine-shaped object is about 6 inches long. I'd discount it as variations in the rock color, but the left end is curved outward from the matrix. Worm trace fossil. They made carpets of these on the sea floor.

Someone over on Reddit told me this is a trace of the base of a Crinoid (feather duster?). Firstly looking to confirm this, and secondly trying to understand the average age. Found on an ocean beach on Long Island, NY. From what I understand this area is quite young and formed via a glacier... although I am not sure how this affects the potential age of rocks/fossils on the beaches. I am VERY new to this, so just trying to learn about my area. Thanks!

Yesterday I decided to make the journey across the border to check out the Penn Dixie site. My ever obliging bf (pictured) joined me as another set of eyes and so he could have fun hitting things with a hammer. Neither of us had ever done anything like this so I wasn't really sure what to expect! But I think we got a pretty good haul for a first time visit. Shout out to our tour guide Kevin for the nice intro to the site and tips on tool use. I am already itching to go back, I had to force myself to leave because I was certain a nice plate of multiple prone trilobites was just certain to be in the next shale we split... Will reply with more pics

I would be very grateful for any help regarding ids of these tiny oddments found in a matrix piece from the Early Devonian Helderberg Group, Kalkberg Formation of the Rickard Hill Road cut, Schoharie, New York state. The piece contains four really nice brachiopods, the horn coral Enterolasma strictum and a lot of tiny crinoid ossicles. Perhaps, in strict alphabetical order, @Darktooth @Fossildude19 @Jeffrey P@Misha or @Nautiloid might be able to throw some light on them? Thank you. This first one seems to be encrusting along the growth lines of large, flat specimen of Discomyorths oblata. Could it be a cornulitid of some sort? About 2.5mm long. This first picture seems to show it as pointy, but if you look, the wider end is actually sort of horseshoe shaped ans seems to have an opening infilled with sediment. It seems to show growth lines. The second specimen I thoght might be a tentaculitid, but now I'm leaning towards a gastropod? Note the very fine striations. About 3mm. What about these, please? Some are clearly stemmed echinoderm ossicles, but is that a tiny lingulid. Are there ostracods? These are all only a millimetre or two across. These last two may be burrows? A white one: And a darker one: Finally, tis nice to know they had McDonalds in New York back in the Early Devonian. Thanks to everyone for looking and for any assistance.

Just some cool fossils I found ( broome county, New York)

Hi everyone, I'm a little bored up here in NH and decided to drive down to Hamburg NY to collect at Penn Dixie, I haven't been there in quite a while and since I unfortunately couldn't make it to DWTE earlier this year I thought now might be a good time to go. I'm hoping to start driving in the afternoon Monday after I'm finished with work, and depending on how it goes getting there late that night or early next morning, collecting there that day on Tuesday and potentially going to some other spots on 18m creek or a bit south of the area, And finally driving back Wednesday. I wanted to post on here to see if anyone else is in the area, I have met up with a few members of TFF and it has been fantastic, I've really enjoyed it and would love to meet more. Let me know, I'll post what I find on that trip here once I get back.

We recently purchased a property in lower Albany County. It has tons of rock walls throughout and I found this today just to the side of one of the rock walls. I have no idea what I'm looking at here other than my husband telling me I found a fossil. Worth it to continue looking in the same area?

I am on vacation in SW Vermont.. Last evening, I had dinner with my niece and friend. She has an interest in fossils (I gave her many as presents and she has hunted the Peace River a couple of times.) A while ago, her friend was at a Flea Market and from a cardboard box labeled "New York", he got a number of rocks that contained fossils for her. That is all I know....and I am certainly no expert on fossils in rocks from the Northeast....

Found this last year at a quarry in Cobleskill, New York on an outing with the New York Paleontological Society. The area of the quarry we were collecting in was identified as the Onondaga Limestone which is Middle Devonian. The different members were all jumbled together so I can't be more specific. Is this a concretion with fossil material or a sponge or whatever? Other fossils found there include corals, brachiopods, crinoids, bryozoans, and trilobites. The specimen is is approximately one inch in diameter and more disc shaped than round. Thanks for your input.

I apologize for the images. The piece is about 6-7 cm. Found on a Lake Erie beach in New York. Any ideas?
