Miocene_Mason Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I went hunting to the kinzer formation (cambrian) from a suggestion of a member here (thanks very much for that), and hunted for around two hours in the shale. Nothing I found screamed trilobite (my target fossil) but I did come back with a few interesting looking rocks. I'm not too familiar with the paleofauna here, so I'm putting most of my finds up here so you guys can tell me what fossils I've found (or lack there of). Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilcrazy Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Hello WhodamanHD, Your rocks look like Kinzers Shale. Nothing pops out. #10 should get a better look as non Trilobite material. My last visit to York, PA turned up nothing. Use this as determination not discouragement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the effort vs reward isn't great, as it's about an hour and a half away. Any thoughts as to what ten could be? It's probably the most interesting thing I found. Could 4 and 5 be camptostroma?

ynot Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I do not see any obvious fossils, but better pictures may reveal some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one might be a sponge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Members treuwood Posted November 9, 2023 New Members Share Posted November 9, 2023 yes one of the features circled in red may be agnostid pygidium. i have never collected in kinzer. radiodonts are big, as in the rocks are part of the animal (if they are radiodonts, i think so).
