A Very Good Problem to have in the Carboniferous
In the last two weeks i have found two new very promising fossil sites. They are on private land that i have permission to be on. And please don't ask where.
There are so many things that i have to leave many behind. I hope i am lucky enough to find something truly amazing from these sites and share them with science and ultimately all of us.
I believe this to be the first Orthacanthus sp. specimen ever found in this area of Illinois. It would be pretty neat to add this
Shark denticle??? Almost has a spider web appearance.
Metacoceras, it looks salvageable.
After finding those the first trip, i decided to go back a second time last weekend to a different spot.
Listracanthus denticle
Mine was unfortunately broke in half and one half is folded into the shale. But hopefully this is the first of many, and God willing find the actual creature that had these!
