FossilNerd Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 1 hour ago, Jeffrey P said: I have a gallery devoted to my finds from Just above the Iridium Layer. I welcome you and others to check it out. I was fortunate to return to the site this summer and add specimens to my collection. Nice gallery too Jeff! It’s fascinating to know that this fauna are some of the ones to survive the asteroid strike of the KT Extinction event. I really need to check out the member’s galleries section more... There is some great stuff there that is too often over looked by me...

Sponge of some sort? btw I've left a comment on your Iridium layer fossils in the gallery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey P Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 That is Middle Devonian from Deer Lake, Pennsylvania. I posted it in the ID section, but no definite ID was received. I'm guessing some type of sponge or plant. A very cool looking fossils whatever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The KT Boundary site in New Jersey I've visited is unique as far as I know- the only site where ammonites survived the end of the Cretaceous. Hopefully we can get together next time I'm in Kentucky. Would I'm sure be fun and I'm always looking to expand my collection of Ordvician, Silurian, and Mississippian fossils. 21 hours ago, FossilNerd said: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting these wonders. Look at all those brachiopods! And thanks to Tim for the suggestion you post the pics. Thanks Adam. I knew you would appreciate those brachiopods.

Al Tahan Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Wow Jeff. This is super impressive!! Puts my display to shame. I love the diversity that you have collected. I always have a soft spot for a really nice brach or gastropod even when I’m out looking for trilobites ha. If I can get my display even partially labeled like you that would be a dream. True dedication!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
