    Un identified specimen

    I have been stumped by a "rock" I found in my garden over 25 years ago. I have had a continuous need to know what it is purely for my own curiosity. It has "something" inside of it and during the years I've had suggestions of lizard eggs, man made object, etc. Ive obviously spent endless hours looking at it, and I think I've seen some kind of feathers entwined around the small round egg like masses encapsulated within the dark almost black in some light yet like sunrise in another. Its too large to float test fairly heavy makes me doubt amber but given the detail inside hard to think of alternatives.

    Glass Slug?

    I found this in Yucca Valley/ Joshua Tree in Southern California. I can't find any images similar and am just curious as to what it may be. It is hollow fyi

    Harvard MNH April 2023

    I wanted an adventure and my youngest niece is graduating from Boston University in a few weeks. Definitely worth a celebration. I booked a 6 am flight Saturday, landing in Boston at 10 am. I had about 6 hours before Emily was done with class. Commonwealth Avenue has a park like setting with statues and walkways going back a couple of centuries. I took a 4 mile walk through Boston Commons to the Boston Opera House. My primary contribution to the activities was a pair of tickets to the touring play "My Fair Lady" on Friday evening. We went to dinner and to the Play. Grand time was had by all. Emily had selected a fantastic lunch at the Tasting Counter, followed by a tour of the Harvard Museum of Natural History. We spent 3 hours viewing exhibits. We started in the Hall of Rocks and Minerals, A couple of interesting examples. Next into the glass renditions. In 1888, Harvard commissioned reproducing Flowering plants in glass. You can read about it here... https://hmnh.harvard.edu/glass-flowers In thousands of plants and Flowers, the creators included one insect buried deep in one flower. Unfortunately I did not get a photo. I did get a few photos of the plants.... a flower, a tree As I moved out of the Glass plant exhibits, I was looking for the marine and shark exhibits, I did not realize that many were a glass collection of Inverts: https://mcz.harvard.edu/blaschka-glass-invertebrates So, as I provide photos, think about whether you are looking at glass or a fossil..... Just below is a Dorsal Spike from Hybodus reticulatus (200 mya) So, Is that Meg glass ? How about the Sawfish Rostral ? This is Orodus ramosus tooth (300 mya) Just for you , Daniel... Hexanchus griseus Above Eryon arctiformis, Jurassic. Solnhofen, Germany Very impressive.. easy to stand and stare at each exhibit.. On to Cenozoic Mammals, I sometimes find many of their bones....I do not think these are glass.. Parahippus Teleoceras.... Those tusks seem small.. Look at those footbones. I have some.. Menoceras Jaw Articulated bones for Sloth, Osteoderms for Glyptodon.. an edge Osteoderms... and over this , I get to see it in place... This was a great afternoon, a nice gift from Emily.... Enjoy..
  4. Hi everyone this is matt again today in the creek while I was fossil hunting I came across a very old bottle stopper here is a photo of the find
  5. FYI- In my travels I always stop at Goodwill stores looking for plastic containers to hold fossils. In the last couple stores that I visited, I noticed that they had their large glass display units for sale. Since I have seen it at 3 of the stores lately, I believe that they might be getting rid of them at all of their stores. The one pictured below is in great condition and I guarantee that they have a key to the lock. It is at the store in Plainfield, Illinois, on Route 59. This case is offered at $99.00, which is dirt cheap for this large case (6 feet tall??). If I had the room for it, I would have bought one or two of them. I am just putting this out there for members who are in need, the may have one at your local store.

    Fossil or Manmade?

    Hello! I found this at a cretaceous seabed which also has heavy foot traffic. The "white" circles look to have an opalescent sheen much like slight mother-of-pearl, but I'm not entirely convinced whether or not itv is Fossil or man-made. Any ideas? It really is tiny. (ps please excuse my horrible nail polish and the pants overwintering indoors in the background)

    Where to buy a fossil display case in Europe

    Hi all, A couple of years ago I built up quite a collection of Moroccan mosasaur teeth, which, unfortunately, are now lying in various boxes wrapped in plastic. I'd really like to put them out on display, however haven't found the right way to do so. Preferably, I'd be looking for something like an old-style museum display cabinet, where the teeth would rest on red velvet (or felt, foam, etc.). Now I came across these display cases on one of the big auction sites today, and this really seems to meet my needs. Unfortunately, though, they're slightly more expensive than I had imagined. What deters me, however, are the high shipping costs (almost double the actual cost of the cabinet itself) and the fact that I'd need to import the case into Europe - that is, not only have the extremely high shipping costs, but also customs processing and tax. If I add all of this together, the total price becomes disproportionate to the product. In was therefore hoping someone might know where you could buy a similar product this side of the Atlantic. In case it matters, I wouldn't need to case to be wall-mountable, as I'll be laying the box down flat... If you have any suggestions pertaining to specific shops, please keep the forum's rules in mind and send me a PM.

  10. Does anyone know of anywhere that sells anything from the Permian extinction layer? I have matrix/micro glass beads from the KT boundary layer, but I can’t find anything like that from the Permian/Triassic boundary layer, but I can’t imagine there just wouldn’t be anything for sale anywhere, so I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. I’d be curious about remnants of any extinction, but I’m specifically interested in anything Permian extinction.

    KT boundary micro glass

    From the album: Invertebrates and plants(& misc.)

    Debris, including micro glass "beads" from melted earth ejected into the air, from the KT boundary burn layer. Garfield county, Montana, Hell Creek formation. Late cretaceous (duh) *i added "misc." to this album because this didn't fit anywhere, and I thought it was really cool and should definitely be included somewhere. **There could even be vaporized dinosaur material as part of the glass and melted debris included. There definitely was plenty of it, but I guess realistically, unless it became evenly spread into the atmosphere and airborne debris, this is too small an amount of ejecta, and by percentage such a minuscule amount of vaporized dino, so sadly there probably isn't any.
