Denis Arcand Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Fall promises to be spectacular in many ways. If you dream of colors, you will like the following. I like fossil hunting in the fall, although it's not really hunting, the fossils are underwater so it's more like fishing. Anyway, this is one of my many trips to this place, it's not very far and it allows me to go for a weekend nature walk. This is Ordovician, the site is not as beautiful or rich in fossils as the other sites we see in this forum, but it is rich in brachiopods, crinoids, bryozoans and gastropods. This time, I chose a theme to showcase my special finds of the day. It's autumn in Quebec, we see all the colors! This year the province offers an extraordinary spectacle. Due to favorable conditions, autumn 2022 is marked by an extraordinary color season. This summer the trees have not been under great stress, which is favorable for an autumn with intense colors, the next few weeks should be just as much. Indeed, the season promises to be particularly hot and sufficiently sunny. According to the expert, clear nights will follow these beautiful days, which favors the coloring of the leaves. Enjoy! For more information about my hunting site, look at my previous post which took place during winter: The day I went fishing for fossils (part I) (winter) The day I went fishing for fossils (part II) (winter) This is my little special place were I go fishing for fossils Edited October 25, 2022 by Denis Arcand 3 20 One fossil a day will keep you happy all day.

crabfossilsteve Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Your photography is fantastic. Great how the fossils, the flowing water and fall colors compliment each other. Is that a group of cyclocystoids in that one picture or more likely crinoid stems? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good question, I'm no expert and can't tell one from the other. But from what I know from reading about this formation, it's more likely to be crinoid stems. Maybe @Tidgy's Dad can confirm, if not, I can submit your question to the Fossil ID forum. Edited October 27, 2022 by Denis Arcand 1 One fossil a day will keep you happy all day.

Tidgy's Dad Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Yes, I think crinoid stems are far likely, What astonishingly gorgeous photography. Beautiful colour contrasts and some splendid fossils, too. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
