No clue on a site near Sioux Falls CGcuttlegirl;137807 said:I'm making a trip to South Dakota (in-laws...), Sioux Falls to be exact. Is there a place where really amateur fossil hunters can collect/see fossils? Do you need a permit to collect fossils?
The closest I know of would be Devonian Goniatites and Ordovician Nautiloids in New York State, or Ordovician Nautiloids around Cincinatti, or maybe Cretaceous in New Jersey. Its all kinda far from my house.ckeiser;137892 said:Hey Kevin, where would be the closest someone from Pennsylvania could go (with any luck) to search for fossil cephs? I have found fossilized crinoids in West Virginia.
Cheers.
Rick, The ventro-lateral nodes look clavate, if so you probably have a dimorphic pair much like Prionocyclus macombi, where the gracile form has clavate nodes. The double umbilical nodes dont match the robust form in your other pic, were they found in the same horizon or bed?POD-L;137891 said:Kevin
here is an example of a more Gracile form which looks more like PrionocerasCheers
