    Hi @chase-grim
    From your photo, it looks like this fossil is inside a rounded stone. And since it was found in a creek, there is no reason to think this fossil is really Ordovician or Silurian. The fact that it was found north-east of Dayton, OH tells me if it were found in the strata, it would probably be Silurian. But the stone could have come…[Read more]

    I figured it out. It you type @ and then the userid of the person, it will work. The trouble is I was assuming the userid is the first initial and the last name. Most people have their userid as the full first name, a dash, and then their full last name. You can guess at it, but the text editor will not tell you if you are right until you post it,…[Read more]

    As I always say, location information is critical to correctly identifying a fossil specimen. It this specimen was found on a Richmondian Stage formation in the Cincinnati Arch, then it’s probably Protaraea richmondensis.

      It was indeed in the Cincinnati Arch, although I’m hazy on which locality. Apologies for not being able to provide more specific information.

    How do you use “@” to tag a member in a discussion? When I type @I get a dropdown list of people on my friend list, but can’t tag other people. when I type @ and the person’s first initial and last name, it doesn’t turn it into a real tag.

    The Topic Tags box is just creating a character string tag for the discussion, rather than a contextual tag…[Read more]

    I can’t seem to tag Kyle Hartshorn. @khartshorn doesn’t work and I can’t find a tag for him.

    I personally have very little free time to be a Myfossil Newsletter editor. I’m having trouble keeping up with the drydredgers.org and geofair.com websites because I do the “Cincinnati Fossils” kits  and the resin and plaster 4.5 inch trilobite casts that we now offer to various local shops.  I’m sure Jack would love to have a real Dry Dredgers B…[Read more]

    I don’t know if this link will work, but here are some pictures of the NAPC 2019 field trip titled “”Stratigraphy and Paleontology Of the Palos Verdes Peninsula” held byAustin Hendy and Jorge Velez-Juarbe.

    Here’s another photo from the Palos Verdes Peninsula field trip. This one is at a good vantage point in Del Cerro Park in Rancho overlooking some of the landslide evidence of Portuguese Bend. It was a fine must drizzle that made visibility zero as Austin faithfully pointed out all the geological features to us. We had big smiles. Thanks…[Read more]
