This is the most unusual Helodus tooth in my collection. It is from the British Coal Measures (upper Carboniferous). If my understanding is correct, teeth described as Helodus simplex, Helodus affinis, Helodus ranknei and Helodus attheyi all come from the same fish, just different parts of the jaw. This tooth looks similar to Helodus affinis but also similar to Helodus attheyi, so I suspect H.affinis was positioned next to H.attheyi and this tooth is from between the two.

Today we had a fieldtrip organised by our local paleontology club to one of the quarries of Soignies in Belgium. Here they exploit the dense limestone full with crinoid particles. Althought the weather forcast predicted rain, we had a very beautyful and dry day Natalie made her best find after 10 minutes in the quarry, she spotted a huge Helodus sp. tooth in the rubble. the rest of the prospection that day delivered a few trilobite parts, isolated pygidiums and cephalons for us, but a few lucky collectors did fint complete specimens. We had also the oportunity to meet an other TFF member @gigantoraptor

Hi everyone I think I just found a new hobby With my latest fossil delivery I recieved quite a lot of microfossils & matrix vials as the world of microfossils was something that I have been long interested in. So a 2 weeks ago I finally ordered my first microfossils for which I reserved a special drawer in my archive cabinet. So here is a recapp of what I all got: 3 vials of permian material from Waurika, Oklahoma 1 vial of permian material from The red beds of Archer County, Texas 1 small vial of Conodont rich Mississippian material from the Chappel Limestone formation, Texas 1 small vial of Cretaceous Lower Gault Clay, East Wear bay, Folkestone, Kent, UK A micropalaeontology slide with Jurassic Blue Lias matrix rich in holothurian material. A thin section of an Ostracods filled Elimia snail from the Green River Formation in Wyoming A thin section from the Rhynie chert of Scotland which should contain preserved parts of the plant Aglaophyton major and perhaps even other species. I also got a lot of Bull Canyon micro fossil teeth and 2 cretaceous mammal teeth from Hell Creek In this topic you will be able to follow my path through this newly discovered hobby as I will post my finds and progress Currently I am only working with a clip-on cellphone microscope, but I do plan on getting a professional microscope in the next few months! (Tips are always welcome) So let's put on our Ant-Man suit and explore the microfossil realm So here are some of the first pictures I made of some of the microfossils Starting with the thin slices! Thin slice with Ostracon filled Elimia tenara snail from the Green River Formation, Wyoming Thin slice with Aglaophyton major from Rhynie Chert in Scotland
