So I went to look for an owner of a potential site, I did end up getting an address but no one was home, so I decided to go to a previously unfossiliferous site. With this Gettysburg shale, you look for glossy layers (for some reason these are the layers with fossils. At the major exposure there was none, but under/next to a dirt boat ramp there was about five inch long three inch high outcrop of good stone. Yes, I got some strange looks poking at the ground with my trusty screw driver, but I got some small trinkets to show. I found these lines, most are different size and shape, one looks like the worm itself, although I feel I may be mistaken. Some hollow circles that look almost like crinoid columnals are present as well. This is most of what I found, tell me what you all think. I can take more pictures and provide more information. Note: there may be some repeats, i was just trying to get every picture before sundown.

From the album: WhodamanHD's Fossil collection.
Again, bought online from the Fulton site, which I believe is now closed. A few tracks hard to see on these pictures, but they are good. As usual picture does not do it justice. I intend to find some myself, not sure if I can though.- 1 comment

Nice footprint of a reptile from northern Frederick county from the Fulton site, bought online from its discoverer. Labeled Rhynchosauroides brunswickii, picture does not do it justice.- 1 comment

Hello everyone, today I went hunt in northern Frederick county, Thurmont to be exact, to look for fossils in Gettysburg shale. These are many interesting for sometimes preserving dinosaur and other reptile footprints. I ended up hunting in a river next to a trail that had abundant red shale, this may be new oxford or Gettysburg formation, either way Triassic material, (lean towards new oxford, abundant breccia) and I came across this strange thing. Is it a fossil or not? If a fossil what type and if not what is it? Tell me what you think. Btw I don't believe I found any tracks but I'm still looking at what I collected.

Same deal as the last one. No idea what this is, might not even be a fossil. It's in red shale probably new oxford formation, maybe Gettysburg of Thurmont, Maryland. Remember, its famous for ichno fossils, so a trace fossil is first on my list of possibilities after strange erosion pattern. The black half spheres, sometimes yellow, are modern egg sacks, probably spiders. Tell me what you think!
