Bodacious Brachiopods 2 years, 2 months ago2 years, 2 months ago2 years, 2 months agoHey, just found another site to look into…
UGA Stratigraphy Lab-
Very familiar with Steve Holland’s site! It is a fantastic resource! Especially if you already have a good knowledge of the fossils and are looking to confirm IDs

2 years, 2 months ago2 years, 2 months agoI went to the ordivicianatlas and learned a little. The first 2 I presented appear to be occidentalis and frankfortensis but neither look like the 3rd photo. Anyone know have an idea about it? Don’t know about alveata. Saw a subjugata and a richmondensis mentioned but no photos.
Does the publication include photos of specimens?
Lastly…am I…[Read more] -

@tom-mcgovern check out the Ordovician Atlas: http://www.ordovicianatlas.org/atlas/brachiopoda/rhynchonellata/orthida/plectorthidae/hebertella/ there are three species of Hebertella on there with nice images, location, and stratigraphic data. I also have a publication by a past lab mate on the evolutionary history of Hebertella if that is…[Read more]

Bodacious Brachiopods 2 years, 2 months ago2 years, 2 months ago2 years, 2 months agoAnyone know the names of these types of Hebertella? I’ve read it is determined by the depth of the “central dent”
-
Hi, @tom-mcgovern, depends on where and when in geologic time you found them. There are quite a few Hebertella species. Can you give us some more information?

Bodacious Brachiopods 2 years, 2 months ago2 years, 2 months ago2 years, 2 months agoHey group members. I really enjoy searching for, finding and prepping fossils in SW Ohio. I am not, however, very learned in all the scientific names of them. Would it be “against the rules” to post pictures of brachiopods and people tell me more about them?
When I find them they are not in matrix, they are complete, loose/single and only need…[Read more]

Hi, @tom-mcgovern– that seems perfectly appropriate to me! Just include some information on where you found the specimens and we can do our best to help with identification!
-
Yes, looking forward to seeing what you have found!

Do you do much fossil hunting in the Toledo area?-
Tom, if you haven’t already, be sure to reach out to the North Coast Fossil Club. (http://www.ncfclub.org/) They may know of some fossil localities near Toledo.

I do some fossil hunting in the Toledo area. I am not sure of locations in Toledo except for fossil park in Sylvaina. Do you have suggestions?

Tom McGovern replied to the topic Possible bryozoan need to work on in the forum Fossil Prep Tips & Tricks Forum 2 years, 4 months ago
2 years, 4 months ago2 years, 4 months agoI’m new to the group.
I have prepped bryozoans and other specimens with really tiny spaces. Acid kinda works but it also affects the actual fossil a bit which I figured was counter productive. The best ways I found were either with a fine tipped dremel point (that too could damage the surrounding piece) or the old fashioned way if the material is…[Read more]
