Fossil Claw Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Gastropod, horn coral, and cephalopod too. Not a bad haul for a two hour hike and crawl through the creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTrilobiteMan Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Nice finds there. That makes for an exciting day! That Horn Coral is quite large in diameter. That's awesome, Fossil Claw!

Shamalama Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Nice finds! -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...
Fossil Claw Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 A 16 x 10 plate with a little bit if everything on it including bryozoans, trilobite parts and one partial body, brachiopods, may be even a trace fossil of a cephalopod indentation. Same creek this weekend. Very thin, just peeled right off a larger rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 That's a very cool "hash plate"; lots to look at!

Fossil Claw Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Here is another picture of the cephalopod plate without the harsh flash and a light brushing with a 50/50 mix of pledge future shine floor wax and water. It gives it a slight contrast without looking silly or shinny. The more I look at the plate, it's composition, and coloring the more I like it. I have found so many interesting plates and loose fossil since joining the dry dredgers this year that most end up in storage bins in my basement. This one has made it on up to the east side and has joined many of my purchased fossils in my display cabinet. I know it's just a cephalopod on a rock but to me it looks ready made to be an art piece. Funny thing is that cephalopods are not really one of my main fossil interests.
