Isotelus2883 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 This is a few pictures of a trip to Penn Dixie, the finds of two days. This is a bit of a family tradition now, as we go to the site once a year. Now the finds. All the stuff I managed to get. A bit crushed and twisted, but still nice. Some partials. The one on the left is pretty nicely sized. Group shot of some decent rollers I found surface collecting. A big hunk of pyrite. This one really sparkles, though it’s a bit hard to photograph. I thought this Aulocystis looked pretty nice, so I kept it. A first for me, Palaeozygopleura. I think it’s P. delphicola. Some unidentified bivalves. Lyriopecten orbiculatus perhaps? An enrolled Greenops. The shell on pygidium is gone, sadly. The fruits of surface collecting the PD gully. Now for the trip-maker finds. What looks like a nice prone Eldredgeops, it seems only the first left pleura and a bit of shell on the glabella is missing. A really nice prone Bellacartwrightia. The right eye, a pygidial lappet, and a few pleurae are missing. A plate of Eldredgeops. I can count seven partially to fully complete specimens. And last, a piece of the Tichenor limestone with two Pseudodechenella cranidia. One has some shell missing. It seems the species is more prevalent in the limestone. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
