Happy #FossilFriday from this Mucrospirifer mucronatus! This beautiful brachiopod was found on site in the upper Wanakah Shale, and was unearthed & photographed by Rich Spencer⛏

Happy #FossilFriday! This awesome find was unearthed on site by Matt Phillips in 2011, the prep work was done by Marx Behrendt, and this photo was taken by Rich Spencer🔥⚒

So, we have a problem...we have too many fossils! Here's the situation: after Dig With The Experts ended, we were left with piles and piles of uncovered, fresh material. These piles contain loads of trilobites, brachiopods, corals, cephalopods, and other Devonian creatures! Why is this a problem? Well, once these piles were uncovered, they became susceptible the elements - as many of you know, WNY experiences heavy doses of rain and snow, which will destroy many of the great specimens present in these piles. How can you help? Come visit the park and give these fossils a new home in your collection! We're open every Saturday & Sunday until October 17th, happy hunting!⚒

Happy #FossilFriday! This neat little trilobite was found, prepped, and photographed by Richie Junior⚒ If you have a Penn Dixie find that you'd like featured on a #FossilFriday, send us a DM🙂

How cool is this trilobite cart that made an appearance at Dig With The Experts??🔥👏

Happy #FossilFriday from this Bellacartrightia trilo-butt! This fossil was unearthed on site during Dig With The Experts 2021⛏
