I don't think I posted Larry yet, but here he is! Meet Larry the Lobster! He didn't look much like a crab. He looked more like the Lobster from sponge bob. The lobster was buff and this one looks pretty buff to me!

Help request! I am putting together a tool for judging rock age based on very crude, whole-rock, hand-sample observations of fossil faunas/floras -- the types of observations a child or beginner could successfully make. I view this as a complement to the very fine, species-level identifications commonly employed as index fossils for individual stages, biozones, etc. Attached is what I've got so far, but I can clearly use help with corals, mollusks, plants, vertebrates, ichnofossils, and the post-Paleozoic In the attached file, vibrant orange indicates times in earth history to com

In the years of fossil hunting some fossils caught me by surprise especially the ones out of rough pieces that had no resemblance to nodules . These are some of my less common finds myriapods,arachnids, arthropleura tergite,shrimp carpace and the nymph idoptilus sp. I also found fish scales and flora though not as abundant as Mazon creek . Cheers John

Hello all, I would like to share some of my finds of the Belgium quarry Romontbos. As it will be the last year for amateurs to get permission to enter the quarry; i wanted to visit the quarry as often as i was allowed. I'm quite happy with all of my trips of a total of six.

In these weeks i was lucky to spot a dactyl that i haven't been able to identify yet (very interesting looking one) and a piece of bone that was cut trough by the excavator. I will share the pictures of the dactyl later as i keep po
