    looks like Metasequoia sp. the Oregon state fossil. AKA Dawn Redwood.

    I had one from Southern Indiana years ago that was most certainly a crinoid. Love those sedimentary geodes!

    there are dino track locations in CT. You’re better off going to NY or PA in the limestone and shale beds

    @Sean Moran no, it is 69 mi west, north of US 50. You’ve been looking at google. Get a topo sheet, pg 35, loc A5, Utah Atlas and Gazetteer.

    MacKenzie Smith I added some pics that show a little venation as well as a Salix that should illustrate the differences. Thanks for looking.

    Mack, Colorado, is the nearest town, but it is probably 25 or 30 miles away.

    I think the nearest town would be Delta, UT, but it would over 50 miles away. Lots of country between towns out there!

    Ilion, I think. So much like those from the Alan Lang Quarry, that I am making an educated guess that it came from the same vicinity. Purchased from “Extinctions” off ebay.

      Hi @jim-barkley. Could you add Phanerozoic Eon, Mesozoic Era, Cretaceous Period, Late Cretaceous Epoch to this specimen? And do you know the nearest town to where this was collected? Thanks!

      Sean Moran replied 6 months, 3 weeks ago

      This is another example where we could use slightly more precise location data before marking as research grade. Either GPS coordinates or something like “25 miles north-northwest (I’m just making up the direction here) of Mack, CO” in the field notes should suffice. Thanks!

      Certainly big county out there @jim-barkley! Is there any way you could use Google Maps to get GPS coordinates that more closely relate to the location? I’m just trying to think of ways to more accurately record location so that we can mark this as research grade. Thanks!

      Hi @jim-barkley. Just wanted to clarify the location so we can ensure it’s accurate before marking this as research grade. It looks to me , based on the location of Antelope Springs, that the site would be 69 miles north, not west, of Delta. Is that correct?

      @vperez This was one I was working on last night/this morning. Still going through families.

      MacKenzie Smith replied 7 months ago

      Anonaceae, Winteraceae, Meliosma, Styloceras and Altingia is my running list so far.

      Ericales also possible.

    • Profile picture of MacKenzie Smith
      MacKenzie Smith replied 7 months ago

      Ilex and Oleaceae. I’ll try to narrow it down from there.

      Any update on this ID @mackenzie-smith?

    • Profile picture of MacKenzie Smith
      MacKenzie Smith replied 6 months, 3 weeks ago

      @smoran and @jim-barkley I don’t know for sure but I’m ruling it down to Ericales. This is an order level ID. It includes plants like blueberries, kiwis, tea and Symplocos.

    • Profile picture of MacKenzie Smith
      MacKenzie Smith replied 6 months, 3 weeks ago

      @smoran and @jim-barkley My reason for doing this was overall shape and some of the other hypothesized plants had extra loops before the margin.

    Thank-you, Mackenzie. I will re-shoot this and try again.
