Lmshoemaker Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 A few of my fossils I retreived from the Waldron shale. I have many more, but haven't produced photos for them yet. I couldn't attach the files here, the size was way to large, so I had to link from flickr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Do you have identifications for these (or did I miss them)?

Lmshoemaker Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Do you have identifications for these (or did I miss them)? You didn't miss them, I don't know some of the species, but two I know are Glyptocrinus and eucalyptocrinites, If you look up a picture of those two species, you can tell which is which. And the trilobites, I don't know the genus of, but they are all phacopids. The others I'm not too sure on. I had a nice crinoid holdfast base, but left it at my uncles after taking these photos.

Lmshoemaker Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) This one my uncle found at the same place. I looked up the species; it is Eucalyptocrinus, same as one I linked to earlier. Edited October 22, 2011 by Cryptidsaurian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranha Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Actually your trilobites are not phacopids. Number 0745 is a calymenid, Calymene breviceps and 0738 is a dalmanitid, Glyptambon verrucosus. Thanks for posting a few fantastic fossils from the Waldron Shale.

fengw03 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Nice collection! The Waldron Shale is surely one of the best fossil sites in Indiana. However, I have got chance to visit it and only find this cephalon of Glyptambon verrucosus in a local gem show.

That's pretty nice, all the trilobites I find degrade very easily and don't have the same milky color as the crinoids have, all the one's I've found were brown, That's pretty neat!
