Jul 2, 2023 · Recently, I spent 5 days at Lang’s quarry collecting fossils and hanging out with some friends. We broke large blocks in the quarry searching for Eurypterids and Pterygotids, of which we found many including a multi-plate. Are best find was a small incomplete Proscorpius, pictured below.

Nov 13, 2011 · Because these Kansas beds are closely involved with an algal reef buildup, I figured the eurypterid (or its molt) was flushed out into a lagoon, along with the associated leaves and twigs, and mixed in with the local marine life.

Feb 25, 2021 · I was working at my desk today when one of my fossils caught my eye. I picked it up and thought that looks like a Tully Monster, but a quick check on the internet and I realized too small and not my geological time period, the Tullimonstrum belongs in the Pennsylvanian period. 300 million years a...

Feb 2, 2018 · I was considering getting this nice eurypterid fossil head. I know it's just the head, but the price is insanely low and I like the definition of the eyes. But for some reason the eyes feel a bit toooo perfect. The fossil is reportedly un-restored and is from Ukraine.

Jul 4, 2018 · Hello all, I am a newer fossil hunter in the Buffalo, New York area. I am doing some personal research of the eurypterid in New York.

Jul 5, 2017 · Langs, yes. I also this past weekend met a geologist who's particular fossil interest is Eurypterids, a good friend of Mr Nardi, Mr Lang's predecessor, and might get together with him to dig in a couple of spots in NY. He has a permit to dig on NYS Thruway property, so I will let you know if/when I go eurypterid hunting again. I grew up in Rochester in the suburb adjacent to …
