Hi Pete,
Where do you collect? I go to a number of spots, but I think for right now Briggs Rd. is my favorite. Lots of Phacops there plus a variety of shells. Not many complete trilobites, but once in a while one turns up. Have you ever been to Briggs Rd.? You can probably tell that I really enjoy collecting trilobites too.
The big find of the summer was a huge Cephalopod. We contacted the state museum in Albany and they were very excited about it. They sent out a paleo tech with a diamond rock saw and cut the beast out for study. Said it was better than any the museum had.
I'm always looking for new places to collect. Let me know some of the spots you like and I'll be glad to reciprocate and share some of my spots. Same goes for others on the NEPaleo group.
Stan

| Hi Stan - I don't live in the area but also do a lot of collecting there. Although I collect lots of stuff I really enjoy collecting trilobites. Pete --- On Sat, 12/13/08, Stan <stanl55745@aol. From: Stan <stanl55745@aol. |
