A trilobite dude

Excited to find my first eurypterid (that I can talk about) for #FossilFriday. Silurian, can’t pin down the formation, but supposed to be Hughmilleria sp. Head on the left, tail on the right but there’s a blob of stuff in the bottom left/center I can’t make out. Any #eurypterid folks know?

Iron staining on Ordovician bryozoan hash, next to a shell, really bad at deciphering brachiopod vs bivalve so we’ll leave it at shell…#FossilFriday

Moody Ordovician brachs for this most holy of #FossilFriday

Look at how big that Devonian bivalve is! Extra #FossilFriday, this one was found outside Wardensville wv by Max

Hey it’s #FossilFriday so how’s about this little Devonian gastropod you absolute sea snail?

Late #FossilFriday came across the last pics I got to take of the holotype of Needmorella simoni before sending it off forever. It’s now more traveled than I am as it’s been to Australia and back to the US where it’s now chilling in the Smithsonian, something I wish I could say for myself

Happy #TrilobiteTuesday from the mid Devonian of WV you filthy animals

Late #FossilFriday from the early/mid Devonian, Kettneraspis head next to a goniatite.

Macro Devonian crinoids for this #FossilFriday from Maryland but don’t hold that against them

It’s late for a #FossilFriday and it’s been a while for me on here but I found this Devonian crinoid in a quarry with fossil friend Max the other week and was feeling pretty happy with it. When I spotted it only what you see to the right of the vertical crack was showing, very mud covered.

LITHOSTROTIONELLA!!!!! State gem of my home, West Virginia. This is the piece that first got me into fossils as a kid when I found it in the Greenbrier river. #FossilFriday

Missed the last #FossilFriday and #TrilobiteTuesday of the year but I’m using the first day of the new year to wish cast. Found this butt a couple years ago now in a place I always dig. It’s an undescribed odontopleurid. I’ve never found another piece. I WILL find more this year.

Alright one of these four partial mid Devonian trilobite thoraxes is not a Viaphacops. It’s a Needmorella simoni and if you’re a real fossil sicko like myself you’ll be able to spot it. Take a guess, sicko. Happy fossil Friday

Hah! Ripple rock bonanza! Newly placed pavers in shepherdstown, I’m telling you that place is lousy with them. Usually used in walls or old buildings, the others I’ve seen before in town have been local Cambrian lime. How many can you count?

Hey trilobite Tuesday, look at this total hack job at preparation! Someday I’ll spend the time and money needed to make this stuff look better lol

This belated fossil Friday I get to show off, after 4 years of searching, an intact Needmorella eye. Always find them folded over like a taco and you can tell why; look at how thin it is! Need to find out how to draw up a lens map, if possible

It’s trilobite Tuesday and this things pretty tiny, but pretty complete as well. Viaphacops from the Needmore of WV, mid Devonian

Ok here’s most of a mid Devonian Kettneraspis from WV with typical length spines. Here also is a partial cephalon from ostensibly another Kettneraspis but look at that genal spine (seriously, zoom in on it). Waaay longer than it ought to be. A mystery. Happy fossil Friday

It’s trilobite Tuesday so I guess I’ll start trying to use this absolutely garbage platform (because holy shit with how bad twitter is getting). Here’s a Viaphacops! He’s mid Devonian, from the Needmore of WV

It’s #FossilFriday and I’ve got this partial brachiopod to show you because it popped out of a rock just like this and even though it’s just a partial, it’s very large for what I usually find and hasn’t seen sunlight since the mid Devonian. Get…I don’t know, rekt?

Hot dog! Look at that complete son of a bitch! Viaphacops from the mid Devonian of West Virginia. Lucky split, both interior and exterior mold. The trite “you’re the first person to see it” thing really is true, even something this small is a thrill. And now you’re, like, the 4th person to see it.

Found a pretty clean Needmorella simoni for #FossilFriday. Missing at least 1 genal spine. Also at least 1 eye is folded like a taco shell and I’m guessing the other will be too, they always are. Eye structure must have just been very delicate/thin.

So I’m posting ass…on main? Am I getting this right? For #trilobitetuesday. Even though hashtags are no longer a thing. I just don’t know what else to do. Maybe if I keep doing it, it’ll just like. Work.

Alright first #FossilFriday post on Bluesky and I…don’t have much. I mean, feast your eyes on these Devonian beauties! You want a roughed up odontocephalus? It’s yours. Part of a viaphacops? There he is, you son of a bitch. Others? Yes

As the owner of 3, this person might own…4?
