squalicorax Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hey everyone. Been a busy summer because I took a time intensive summer class and did not have time to post too many of my fossil trips for yall to see. Im going to start out with a tour of the thomas greene gallery collection residing in the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. Here is some more information about the history of the collections http://en.wikipedia....Memorial_Museum And now to some photographs of fossils. A super nice Sphaerexochus crainium. This is from the silurian racine formation. There was a whole drawer of them Another trilobite called Dipleura from unknown origins. A chierurus from the racine formation A giant bumastus cephalon a nice calymene from the silurian dolomite Some agates from lake superior A nice shark tooth ! A Eucalyptocrinities calyx from the waldron A crinoid calyx from unknown origins Wicked cephalopod from unknown origins A sweet gastropod external mold. Might be a cephalopod that is coiled as well. thanks for looking everyone. Ill have another trip report soon!

piranha Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Always fun to take a trip down memory lane in the museum drawers... Thanks Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erose Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Most impressed by that Bumastus, despite it's simplicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I love that external mold. I can imagine the coils swirling around. The Dipleura looks like what I find in the Mahantango here in PA or the Skaneateles formation up in NY. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmshoemaker Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 That crinoid appears to be a scytalocrinus from the edwadrsville formation, does that sound correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
