There is a wide range of avatars on this forum and I have often been wondering more about it. Would you mind sharing a larger image, what it is, why you picked it, have you changed it, and anything else about it.

Inspired by @daves64 pictures, I decided to try out a Dino Lite for myself. I tried the AF4915ZTL model. I knew I wanted image stacking capabilities, which Dino-Lite calls Extended Depth of Field (EDOF), Automatic Magnification Reading (AMR) since an accurate scale bar was a priority and a long working distance for larger specimens so that helped narrow down the model. There are definitely pros and cons about it, but I'll let the results do the talking. Taken using EDOF: Taken using EDOF as well: Taken using the Extended Dynamic Range (EDR) feature: Taken using EDR: Taken using EDOF: Taken using EDR:

Has anyone found an easy way to project an image of a fossil assemblage to allow tracing onto paper to map and label multiple specimens on same rock? I have a plate made of 2 large pieces with about 30 trilobite cephalons and 1 upside down complete one on the surface. They do not contrast at all against the matrix. So, not really a good example to just photo and map. I'm guessing the easiest way will be to borrow a digital projector to project a photo onto a sheet of paper? Wait, just came to me. Part of the problem with just using a photograph is changing the directional lighting to bring out each specimen as well as possible. So, maybe use camera hooked to projector and do live display so I could change the lighting as needed in real tiime? Now I'll just have to get ahold of a projector. Thanks for the help

Found this in a customer's rock garden. They had a couple truckloads of the most random assortment of rock sizes, shapes and colors I've ever seen. I apologize that there are no clues based on it's location. All the rocks in my 'hello from Oklahoma' intro were all found in the same place. They rock itself is approx. 2¼ in. long x 1¾ in. wide x ½ in. tall. The marking isn't an indentation but the 'medium' -for lack of a better description- seems organic. If it is human-made, I'd be curious to know how. The markings are so precise as to be human-made but also seem completely natural. I've not attempted to clean it, except for a damp thumb rub or 2, but it doesn't seem like it would budge. I've shown it to probably a dozen people (none of whom were rock or fossil enthusiasts) and no one has a clue. I can't wait to see what y'all think. If I'm lucky enough for this to catch someone's eye. Please let me know if I can answer anything or post other picture etc. I can't thank you enough in advance. Have a great day.

Question about posting photos using Insta360 One X
Creek - Don posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Does anybody here ever post a photo using Insta360 One X photo which you can rotate 360 degrees using a mouse? I have this camera, but have not tried here yet.- 1 reply

I'm having a hard time finding any images of anything other than the outside/side view of a spinosaur pelvic bone. I'm trying to see what the bone looks like in general, but all too many times...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many times I'll spend forever unsuccessfully trying to come across pictures, images, or diagrams that show what a bone looks like from other angles than what you see be looking at the skeleton from generic angles, like this one. In some cases it's not TOO difficult, but even those common bones have areas that you can never see, unless you get totally lucky and happen across it, OR if there's maybe, hopefully some site/database that specifically shows what entire bones look like. I doubt that, but I know there's perfect diagrams floating around on the web, but I can't seem to find any *im just talking about dinos and other extinct animal bones. I'm sure there's plenty of sites with images of every conceivable angle of every bone from humans and common living animals, but I'm not looking for that kind of thing.

It seems that the notorious T-rex was not only inaudible (there was already an article about it), but it also looked a little .... weird http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5218921/T-rex-tufty-hair-orange-eyebrows.html

I have two associated Hyaenodon horridus mandibles from Nebraska. They puzzled me because they appear to be from an adult but when I removed some matrix is saw gaps for a molar and a tip of tooth peeping out. I looked into it and it seems that the last molar doesn't reupt until age 3-4 so that is roughly the age of this animal. To verify, I asked a good mate to xray it. You can clearly see the tooth roots below the crowns of the teeth and below the gum line (ie embedded into the bone). You can also clearly make out the mandibular canal (long dark line running ventrally (below) the teeth - it's where the major veins, arteries and nerves of the bone run. Great view of millions of years old bone and teeth! Confirms that the teeth are erupting molars and gives me a great idea of the age. Not, quite juvenile, more like subadult.

I came across an article today on using a printer scanner to image shark teeth. It worked well for the labial side (relatively flat). However, the lingual side was less than satisfactory. Have any of you used this method of imaging teeth, and do any of you have tips on getting good images for the lingual side? Thanks, Carson
