Jeffrey P Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Dave, Great finds! I appreciate how you go for the really fascinating smaller, subtle stuff. I hope to find one of those Phestias. The double Palaeozygopleura facing off is eye catching. All in all, the Longispina is my favorite. Is the Rusophycus a trilobite trace fossil? Congratulations on a very productive day.

Ludwigia Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Thanks for the reports everyone. It's always great to see how this Forum gets people together! Hope to see some of you familiar guys again in summer 2016 on my next trip over and maybe I can get to know some new faces as well in the process. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Jeffrey P Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Congratulations Carmine. Those finds are very cool and probably a bit different from what you normally find in the Buffalo area. I especially like the mucrospirifer and spinocyrtia plates. Great hunting with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Dave and Carmine, Great finds! Nice pictures, as well. Thanks for posting them.

PFOOLEY Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 That's a happy bunch...you all have some great finds...such variety in the fauna. The "members in action" photos are a nice touch.

Pagurus Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Mike..., I'd like to see the Dipleura pieces you found! Here are a few of the critters I found that fine day, Tim. Everyone made so many interesting finds and it was great to get together with the whole group. I hope we do it again. This is the partial Dipleura that Leila found: I like the little enrolled Greenops I found. All the others were just pieces, but still interesting finds. And these are some more of my favorites: 1 Start the day with a smile and get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Mike, You had some nice finds, for sure! I like those little Lingula spatulata. Thanks for posting them, Mike! I guess we're just waiting for Rob to chime in here at some point.

Jeffrey P Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Mike, Congrats on some excellent finds. That Dipleura is one of the best I've seen from there. and that's the first complete enrolled Greenops I've seen from that site. Makes me yearn for the one I found the imprint of. Thanks for posting and adding to a wonderful thread. It was a great day and so very glad to be a part of it. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Great finds Mike, the enrolled Greenops is indeed pretty sweet. I like those little Lingula spatulata. Now I have a name for them!

Jeffrey P Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Thanks for posting these Rob. Love the two partial Greenops side by side facing opposite directions. Also love your goniatites and the branching bryozoan. You have to show more pictures of the big enrolled Dipleura your son found. That truly was the most exciting find of the day. Thanks for the reminders of what a great day we all had. Big congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagurus Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 You and your crew sure made some great finds, Rob, big and tiny! I'm glad you posted some of them here on the forum.
