Summer 2019

[JamesAndTheFossilPeach]

After probably the best summer I’ve had in terms of fossil collecting here’s just a small portion of what I have to show for it

I have no clue what this is. People have told me fish and wood

My 9 plate which still needs to be put back together

My greenops which needs to be prepped. (Missing piece is in the negative)

My pseudodechenella plate. This is half and there is two more in the other piece. So it looks like there might be three to 4

And not to mention Devoniandigger helped me get my first camo bug which ended up being a 2 inch prone as well as being to be able to dig with lots of awesome people.

Great finds! I would say that you did really well this summer!

[Darktooth]

You got some beauties in that first pic!

[Ludwigia]

You certainly did have a successful summer. How many times were you there?

[FossilDAWG]

 Without knowing anything about this, I had an encrusting bryozoan feel when seeing the photo.

Nice finds. I would say that your top specimen is that beautiful Bellacartwrightia. That is a type of fossil plant/wood probably a lycopod like Archaeopteris. I like the delicately preserved  spines on that Spinatrypa spinosa    

[Fossildude19]

I agree with Mikey, ... both on the quality of the finds, and the ID of the unknown as plant. 

I have one very similar to it from the Deep Springs Road site. 

Way to go, James!

James you did real good this summer. But the season is not over yet. I plan on being down at least 2 or 3 more times before the snows come.....

So cool! Nice looking finds James!
