JimB88 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Two of my best... An Archimedes with lacy bits still associated...from the Pennington.. and found today..a lyropora with its lacy bits still associated (its in two pieces thanks to the lacy bit being preserved with a '3d' wave in them making it impossible to prepp out cleanly... oops, and this one which is a good specimen, but I have no id on it (may not even be a bryo.) The last two are from the Bangor Limestone (upper miss.) Edited July 28, 2010 by JimB88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crinus Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) With all the snow on the ground, I have no choice but clean fossils or work on the "honey do list". So which do you think I decided to work on! Anyway I have been busy cleaning and here are some of the latest additions to the collections. Yes, they are only bryozoa but they can be quite nice. The first piece was actually found by pleecan (starter of this topic) at the Jim Dick Quarry in Gamegridge, Ontario. He was splitting rock. This piece split with parts of the bryozoa on both side of the rock. see photo. For what ever reason, pleecan did not want the piece and offered it to me. I saw great potential and jumped at the chance to restore the find. It took a while but what an interesting piece. What really is uniqui is the most of the bryozoa are jumbled which is unusual. Probably some storm activity cause the bryozoa to break off and get jumbled into this interesting piece. The bryozoa is Prasopora grandis, Ordovician Unprepped Reconstructed Finished In addtion, I found that same day this piece. It was badly encrusted with some debrie. I did not take a before picture because it was mostly visible as is. This is the under side of a very large Prasopora. The specimen is about 3 inches in diameter. And here is the final piece that I have recently cleaned. This is a Devonain piece from the Silica Shale of Paulding, Ohio. It is a large colony of a Fustulipora sp. The bryozoa colony is 6 inches across. Edited January 18, 2011 by crinus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockwalker Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Okay. Sounds a little undecided as to what era I am traveling in. I will post a couple other pictures of others I have found in the same creek bed. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
