From the album: Hell Creek / Lance Formations
Cimolodon nitidus Hell Creek Fm., Meade Co., SD, USA M1 (1st upper molar) While you may have mistaken it for a rodent, Cimolodon belonged to a far more ancient and wildly successful group of mammals, the multituberculates (so named for the multiple cusps arranged in rows on their molars). It likely ate seeds and nuts which were handedly ground by its lego-shaped molars. Cimolodon had to be wary of the likes of Pectinodon or other small predatory dinosaurs in the Hell Creek ecosystem. Unlike a few other contemporaneous mammals, this cousin of ours did not survive the K-Pg extinction event and perished along with the non-avian dinosaurs.-

A few months back, I spent three days along the Whitby coastline. It was a very good three days of collecting, but my last find of them days, is to this day my best find. I had decided to head to Runswick Bay. My legs and back were exhausted, so decided the short walk to to car park would be fairly light on the legs. Now, in my experience, Runswick hasn’t really produced much in the past for me, so I hadn’t gotten my hopes up too much. So you can imagine my shock, when I see a rather large nodule day there in Situ. I’ll let the pictures say the rest

From the album: Gastropods
This rock is by far the best ever gastropod rock ive ever found! Most of these gastro's are Neptunia (sulcosipho) tabulata and the middle one is,,,, I cant remember, but quite rare. These are from the older part of the Scotia Sandstone Formation? I know its from the Wild Cat Group and older than the Scotia Sandstone. Someday Ive got to finish this up. Quite the nice piece though!!!- 3 comments
