    The pictures are pretty blurry, and there’s no size information/scale or horizon info, so it’s hard to make an ID…. It’s definitely not a brachiopod, so at least there’s that. If it’s tiny, my guess would be a tentaculitid of some kind. If it’s large, as it almost seems to be in the first photo, it begins to look more like a cephalopod.

    For such an unprepossessing little brachiopod (the largest shown here is about 23mm across, but Cincinnetina is also found in tiny juvenile forms in sediments from these exposures,) Cincinnetina has had many names over the last 140 years. Originally named Orthis meeki by Miller in 1875, Cincinnetina was recombined as Dalmanella meeki by Foerste…[Read more]

    I’m wondering whether there is some way to get a text or email notification when I get a message on myFossil or someone responds to a forum or group post.

    I’m constantly finding myself missing contacts from people because I don’t check in regularly and, when I do, I find messages that are months old.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello FossilFossils Denizens:

    A long shot, given that I don’t know who might be from the OH/KY/IN/TN area, but I’m making my way back to my original stomping grounds this summer, after more than 15 years. Unfortunately, all my collecting information is out of date by that long as well.

    Would anyone be willing to share site information — Ord.,…[Read more]

    Dear Members:

    A couple of questions that I’m hoping a fellow brachiopodophile might be able to answer!

    1. Does anyone know if the large cut on Rte. 27, south of Richmond, Indiana, is still worth visiting? Once upon a time it was a great site, but I haven’t been there in 15 years….

    2. Might anyone have information about Waldron Shale exposures…[Read more]

    Might be a good idea to reach out to the folks at Aurora and mend fences a bit. They are being inundated with telephone calls and emails from people who took this message to mean that the Lee Creek mine was going to be opened up for a special group visit.

    Hello all.

    The Winter 2017 issue of Fossil News, a special focus on the Fossil Basin area in and around Kemmerer, Wyoming, is on sale. We look at the museum at Fossil Butte National Monument, dig-your-own quarries, and the once-in-a-lifetime find of a monitor lizard in the Lindgren Quarry. Chock full of photos!
