JohnJ Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 They are found together. But do not belong forcing to the same egg. Nemo, please indulge us with some additional information. Did you make these finds? Were these fragments found "together" beside each other, or scattered across the general area? (I noticed you were offering many more than these in a trade topic.) When were these finds made? Thank you for your help. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt. Nemo Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Yes, are personal discoveries. I know two fields supplying this type of shells. A field with small isolated (scattered acriss the general area) and sometimes speckled shells (visible in the topic of exchange). And a field with more of shells grouped in the same place, beside each other (those of the photo of yesterday). This field is the bottom of a lake disappeared from the Oligocene. We find at the bottom of the lake the shells of the nests of the bank. We find shells in a zone of nesting. The shells of different they can be thus mixed. The fossils of the photo posted here were found on Monday, February 6th and finity to prepare yesterday. I hope to have answered your questioning. Edited February 15, 2012 by Cpt.

Jurassic Jim Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 This is the first time I have joined the fray and what a month to do it having to go up against mastodon mandibles with teeth, geesh. Here is my primitive paleozoic shark tooth. I have to enter, I was thrilled to find it and it is by far the best tooth I have found in a while. Mississippian Age Bangor Limestone crushing tooth - Poecilodus sp. Found President's Day FEB 20, 2012. Minimal prep. performed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssuntok Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Here's an entry from a newbie. Not much to crow about I know, but it's the first planispiral ammonite I've found on hornby island, and the first time i've ever found this particular Pachydiscus species. Here's the details and pics: Pachydiscus suciaensis Found 15th February, 2012 Upper Cretaceous Lambert Fm, Hornby Island, BC CDA Speciment is approximately 10 inches in diameter Steve Suntok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

florida_fossils Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Wow. I don't know what else to say. This one isn't going on the website I bet. Mastodon mandibles. Mammut americanum. Pleistocene, North Florida. Found February 1, 2012. Simplicity is not the goal. It is the by-product of a good idea and modest expectations.

GerryK Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 My fossil of the month is Ceratolichas dracon. It's a cephalon of a Lichid trilobite from the Onondaga Limestone, Devonian of New York. I collected it over 10 years ago and finally finished prepping it this month. The trilobite seen in the photo is whitened so the fine detail can be seen.The image was taken by Tom Whiteley During the Christmas holidays, I was going through some boxes of Onondaga Limestone looking for specimens of Phacops that I collected. I noticed one of the limestone blocks had a cross section of a spine I thought to be a Kettneraspis, but then I noticed a second spine. It couldn't be a Kettneraspis. So I decided to start prepping it to determine what the trilobite could be. The prepping was difficult because of the micro crystalline quartz in the limestone. This made the matrix very hard to work and would shatter like glass when using a micro scribe. When I finised prepping the trilobite, I was surprised to discovered it has 9 cephalic spines. It's not unusual for lichids to have spines there, but I don't know of any lichid that has this many cephalic spines, except maybe Terataspis.

mikeymig Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hey Gerald welcome to the forum dude! I'm glad you entered this rare trilobite from Ny. It does look a lot better in person and of course you have my vote! Mikey Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
