SALVAGE PALEONTOLOGY: Many years ago, I collected rare fossil assemblage from the Silurian Maplewood Shale in the Genesee River Gorge at Rochester, New York. The unit is almost impossible to collect from due to rapid decomposition of the shale. But, because of a fresh exposure of the shale, I was able to collect rare (probably new) crinoids, cephalopods, phyllocarid parts, lingulids, etc. These will be donated to the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History where they will be available for study.
