squalicorax Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Id like to submit this trilobite to the fossil of the month. I found this in Silurian aged Dolomite of Niagaran age. It is from the Racine formation. I have yet to prep it but the bug is all there. Cheirurus sp. Middle Silurian Found 4/26/2012 Milwaukee Wisconsin 2.5cm full resolution http://imgur.com/AuUtI My Flickr Page of My Collection: http://www.flickr.com/photos/79424101@N00/sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOM BUCKLEY Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I couldn't let the month slip away without showing what I found on the same piece of matrix as my Greenops. At the lower left of the trilobite are a couple of ostracods. I guess this can be considered my second entry this month. Primitiopsis punctulifera (Hall) Same info as my Greenops, previously entered. Oh yeah.....they are 1.5 mm each and were photographed by hand-holding my Sony point-and-shoot up to the microscope. I've got to get a better setup.

Hieronymus Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Nice fossils everyone :-) I'm going to add this rather large tooth of a Great White. This tooth of Carcharodon carcharias was found on april 7th. The origin is the Oorderen sands member, part of the Lillo formation. Age is Pliocene, more specificly Piacenzian (=2.588–3.600 myo) http://rhaetianlorraine.webs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossils4U Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) I do not know the name of this oyster. I call it the long arm oyster! It is from the PEE DEE formation in NC and is a scarce gem from the cretaceous time era. (( 75,000,000 years old)) I just found this one last week and had to get the chistle out for it. My heart stoped every time I had to hit it to break it away from the formation! (( SWEATING BULLETS!! )) But with a little love and alot of time I got it. The color is amazingly SCARCE....... They are usually all gray...Enjoy the pics. I love this piece! Edited April 30, 2012 by Fossils4U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsessed1 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) While this tooth isn't perfect I believe the rarity and location make it a good candidate for this months contest. Parotodus benedeni 2 1/4"h X 1 3/4"w X 11/16" thick Round Mountain Silt Formation - Mid miocene Matrix was found in December Prep was done April 29, 2012 ( Only beause I really thought it was just another planus tooth) Edited May 1, 2012 by obsessed1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinopaleus Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) And here's another trilobite to add to the party, a rare, new species of Altiocculius (Alokistocare) I found in Utah's Drum Mountains. Altiocculus n. sp, Middle-Cambrian, Antelope Springs, Drum Mountains, UT, USA Link to hunting trip: http://www.thefossil...rd-county-utah/ Trilobite is 1" in length. Found on February 12, Prep finished on April 24 Before Prep After Prep Apologies on all the confusing I.D switches. It is pretty certain to be a new species of Altiocculus after having a few chats with Scott (piranha). Edited May 1, 2012 by Sinopaleus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
