Chicago outdoors: Fossil hunting and rare finds among the notes

Notes come from around Chicago outdoors and beyond.

WILD OF THE WEEK

Jay Damm took in one of the esoteric pursuits in Chicago outdoors and went fossil hunting at Mazonia State Fish and Wildlife Area, where fossil hunting opens March 1. "The earlier in the season one goes the better: Little to no ticks, reduced vegetation and the early bird gets the worm as far as concretions go," he emailed. ". . . I managed to find some good yet heavily vegetated mounds of shale surrounding one of the larger lakes at the park. Before too long I was finding the famed Mazon Creek ironstone nodules."

He found a couple open specimens. One he thought was "a possible Essexella, which has long been classified as a jellyfish or possibly a type of anemone." The other was "the classic fern, Pecopteris." In a followup, Damm note a biologist/avid collector at the University of Wisconsin, believes the jellyfish may "be the much rarer Reticulomedusa.

BOURNEMOUTH are confident of beating Big Six clubs to sign Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher this summer.

The Republic of Ireland international wants to leave Anfield to get first-team football, and may have played his last game for the club in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final. 

Caoimhin Kelleher is wanted by Bournemouth and several other Premier League sides

Chelsea, Tottenham and Carabao winners Newcastle are also interested.

Bournemouth are ready to move first however, putting them in pole position, as manager Andoni Iraola has made signing a goalkeeper a priority with Kelleher his top target.

Iraola has used on-loan goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga for most of the season, but there is no obligation to buy in the loan contract with Chelsea and his performances have been mixed.

The Spaniard was dropped by Iraola earlier in the season for another young Irish goalkeeper, Mark Travers, who is now on loan at Middlesbrough.

Iraola regards Kelleher as a big improvement on both his current goalkeepers and has asked Bournemouth to move quickly when the transfer window opens in June.

Chelsea have also expressed interest, but will not commit to making a bid at this stage.

Boss Enzo Maresca wants to back his current goalkeepers, Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen, despite the doubts of others at Stamford Bridge.

Tottenham’s goalkeeping position is also unclear, with Guglielmo Vicario, Fraser Forster and Antonin Kinsky all being used by Ange Postecoglou this season.

BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS

And while Newcastle want an extra goalkeeper and like Kelleher, the club’s PSR problems mean they may not be able to meet Liverpool’s £30million asking price.

Bournemouth may also be able to offer European football as Iraola’s side are currently ninth in the Premier League, but Kelleher does not regard that as essential.

Kelleher’s priority is securing a move to a Premier League club that can provide regular first-team appearances after his career has stalled at Anfield through no fault of his own.

The 26-year-old has played 17 matches so far this season, but has been restricted to appearances in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup since Alisson Becker returned from a hamstring injury in December.

Liverpool are aware of Kelleher’s frustrations and will not stand in his way.

Arne Slot has already signed Kelleher’s replacement, with Georgian international Georgi Mamardashvili due to arrive from Valencia at the end of the season.
