Collection was limited to surface picking of specimens focusing on a good sampling of as many brachiopod species as possible plus representative specimens of other orders. Limited to south and east slopes of the southeast section of the quarry area. Image is first layout back in ArcheoPaleo of 565 washed specimens including brachiopods, molluscs, 'fish', bryozoans, echinoderms, cnidarians and poriferans. Now they need sorting and species names! Then I will comingle them with the specimens I have previously collected (but put off 'specifying') at Rockford over the last 13 years...A good winter project (the ground is frozen anyway!). In the middle photo, in the lwr rt corner of it, there is a brown/white fossil between the Placyphyllum and the large Strophonelloides, a VERY INTERESTING new 'FISH' fossil!!!
