Here a couple things that I received from my wife- first off, a few beautiful echinoids that were purchased from @Harry Pristis back in September- really love these pieces. A book that I have been wanting for a while. A cool adjustable light that hangs around your neck. It has two different powers and will be great for collecting, taking pictures or Cindy things I drop- lol. And what kid does not want a remote control dinosaur that walks, lights up, roars and even blows out water v

Recommendations for good reference book on Florida's fossils?
cava.zachary posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hi, I just had my first Florida fossil hunting trip and got some really cool stuff (I am a herpetologist so I was especially excited about the turtles!). I was wondering if anyone has any book recommendations for help with learning about and identifying Florida fossils. (I can recognize the general types of fossils but would enjoy learning more and reporting everything as accurately as possible). Lastly, is there anything I should do to protect the fossils (e.g. any kind of resin coating) or are they generally stable as is? I appreciate your help! -Zach www.biophiliagr -
Hello everyone, I need to provide me Xmas wishlist, and off course it had to involve Dinosaurs lol Do you have some good Dinosaur book recommendations? Mostly looking for images and found locations, and some scientific facts. Not all text Looking forward to what you guys recommend! Best wishes

Could someone recommend a good reference book on prehistoric reptiles? I'm hoping for something along the lines of The Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs. Specifically, I want to be able to see and research a particular animal when it is mentioned. Thanks in advance. Tom

Hi, I'm new here. My name is Leo and I'm from Italy. I'm looking for interesting books about paleontology and, in particular, about the transition from water to land. Since I've already read basically everything in Italian (there isn't too much choice actually), I'm looking for something in English. Any advice is welcome

For the purposes of my birthday, I would like to get a small collection of early shark teeth. They've always been sort of a neglected interest of mine, so I am finally cataloguing what we have to arrange a small display as one of the subsets of our collection. However, with that, comes a bit of conflict. I have found some select teeth available I can pirchase, but am unsure which I want to follow through with (two separate sellers). I can either: 1) Get a cladodus tooth from Illinois, Stethacanthus tooth from Oklahoma (tip broken and root not complete), and helodus tooth from Indiana (and

I went on a bit of an unusual fossil hunt this morning--in my office closet. I'm getting things packed up for a move next month to Gainesville, FL. We're moving up there from South Florida because I've had my fill of hurricanes (and year-round yardwork). In Gainesville I'll be able to volunteer more with the FLMNH. So I'm slowly repositioning the contents of my house into a growing stack of moving boxes. I got to the bottom corner of my office closet today and found a box that had some childhood memories in them. No favorite stuffed animals, no catcher's mitt and baseball, no che

Went fossil hunting with my daughter this morning in the Bookcliffs, North of the Grand Junction, CO airport. We found this weathering out of the shale in a wash. The Baculite is about 8" long and 1.5" wide. Can hardly wait to prep this, I think it will make a nice display. My plan is to slice the base of the matrix flat (without damaging the fossil) so it will sit nicely on a table or shelf.

Gerard Case’s “A Pictorial Guide to Fossils”
The Jersey Devil posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hi everybody, I have a question about this book. There are two versions of it. One of them has an ammonite on the cover and the other has a Meg tooth on it. What are the differences between the two books and which one is more recommended? Thanks! -
Spent a few hours today at the annual London Rock and Mineral show. Most of the vendors specialize in minerals and jewellery, but a few had some fossils. I am not sure about posting images from the specific vendor tables without their permission, but the fossils were mostly what one would expect at shows like these: polished Moroccan orthocerids, Madagascaran ammonites, the usual trilobites, and the GR fish plates. Just a glance down one of the aisles: Although I have a digital copy of Trilobites of New York, I'm still a bibliophile of the first water, and sometim

In a couple days is my birthday, and this year I will be 50. For the past couple weeks I have thought a lot about all of my successes in life, as well as my failers. As a husband, father, fisherman, fossil hunter. As well as just a human being. But as far as a fossil hunter, collector and enthusiast, one of my biggest failers is that I have not learned enough about the fossils I collect in my region. I have stated before in other post that I am not really that interested in brachiopods, gastropods, bivalves, etc. But I have come to realize that is not a good reason to not try to identify those

Guide To Fossil Collecting by the Dallas Paleontological Society Has anyone seen or purchased this new publication? I just finished a simple three-part series for our club members called Fossil Collecting 101 and I wanted to suggest some books to the new members. I am interested in how much it improves on older books as well as how specific it might be to Texas or the region. In the past the Dallas Paleo publications have been good and worth the money. But at $30 I think I will want to see it first before either suggesting it or buying one for myself. I already have half a dozen pu

I was hoping some of you might recommend a good book or maybe any papers that have been written on fossil shark teeth, their identification and their evolution. Thanks!

For your vintage library... Fossil Crocodilians from Colombia (1965)
Wrangellian posted a topic in Member Fossil Trades Bulletin Board
I ordered a different book from ebay and they sent me the wrong one. At least it's still fossil-related, but it's outside my area of interest. I don't know if this is worth anything to anyone, but if you want it, I'll trade it for a fossil. I'm more into inverts but it can be just about any fossil, it doesn't have to be very valuable! (I didn't pay a lot for the book...) Alternatively I could offer it for the cost of shipping. (I'll relist it in the sales section if necessary) -
So I was reading in The Dinosaur Heresies: New Theories Unlocking the Mystery of the Dinosaurs and Their Extinction by Robert T. Bakker and in it I came upon a line that says "Modern reptiles dominate the role of large freshwater predator. But dinosaurs didn't produce any swimming predators at all." (Pg 82) With the new evidence from Dr. Ibrahim about the spinosaurs, does Bakker's claim need to be revised? For those who have read his book, is there any other pieces of information that need to be revised in this book? I am writing a short paper for a biology class on it a
