Count the brittle stars!! (…and sea lilies, sea urchins, worm tubes, brachiopods,..). Here we tour around a large rock slab from the recently discovered brittle star fossil bed. Many of the specimens have yet to be fully prepared so we’ll share an updated version when all the preparation work is complete (perhaps next year sometime!). Eventually this piece will be on long-term public display, somewhere in the South of England. Having the specimens retained together like this in their natural association allows us to study the ecology of this ancient seafloor. In particular we want to understand why these otherwise rare fossils are so abundant in this particular package of rock and how they came to be so exquisitely preserved. Late Cretaceous Grey Chalk of Southern England, around 96 million years old.

The Cincinnati area is world renowned for its fossil beds. Just take a look at and creek or stream in the area and you’ll see why! These Ordovician fossils were collected from my own property in a creek bed. Most of them are brachiopods and bryozoa, but I also happened across a gastropod fossil:

Fossilized gastropod shell (bottom) vs. a non-fossil shell (top).

Brachiopod shells in Dinosaur National Monument, at the end of the Harpers Corner Trail. The elevation here is around 7,500 ft so it’s kind of fun finding these ocean fossils so high up.

Small comic tribute to the palaeontologist Mary Anning, who discovered in the early 19th century the first fossils of an ichtyosaure. All through her life she digged out new species and exceptional fossils, her work had a huge impact on the evolutionary theory
