A hill of large rolling terraces providing outcrops of the lower Hamilton Group (over the unexposed Marcellus shale)
located between Peenpack trail and Big Pond Road.

Here  specimens  from the upper regions of the hill. ID's/corrections welcome.
Looks like Cypricardella  tenuistriata

This appears to be a bit different than C.  tenuistriata

Looks like Actinopteria boydi

Looks like a partial Actinodesma erectum (see Wilson's Field Guide page 117).

Here the first and only evidence of trilobites

ID please

This looks more like "Spirifer" tullius Hall 1867 (than Mucrospirifer mucronatus)
For ID see Wilson's Field Guide page 117 currently as  Allanella Tullia and below excerpt from Maryland Devonian, Text and Plates 1913.

Congratulations Gordon- more great finds. I especially like the bivalves and that is definitely the first trilobite fossil I've seen from the Hamilton Group in Southeastern NY. A pretty rare find I'm guessing. Maybe there's more.  Thanks for posting.
