I decided to take the time and try to shoot pictures of slides that I received years ago from my Fossil Mentor Walter Lietz. They are slides that he would show and talk about at the various Fossil talks that he would give prior to us taking the participants out collecting. This post may take me a couple days to complete due to the number of slides that I have to take pictures of. I have tried to do this before, but the machine I was using made it difficult. This time I am using a lighted hand held slide viewer and shooting them with my I Phone. It is tedious, since I then have to e-mail them t

Like @JohnBrewer , I also purchased a new toy from AmScope. I purchased Item #UHM350-11 "Tabletop Digital Microscope with Variable Working Distance and 11" Articulating Arm". This piece also have two LED lighting rings.This was a great purchase for $270.00 and about 1000 times better that the $20 Plugable USB Microscope that I purchased before. I set it up and unfortunately I do not have an Micro SD card to capture the pics. I am not tech savy, so I will have to study it for a bit and see if I can actually hook it up to mu computer. Right now I have it hooked up to my TV with the "

Its fossil Friday! Share your latest fossil picts.
hadrosauridae posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Its fossil Friday, so share a pic of your latest fossil acquisition, or prep. This is my latest prep project, a large Mioplosus from the Green River fm of Wyoming. Its not 100% finished but getting very close. Sadly it had already lost 1/2 to 2/3 of the tail before I found it, it has some damage to the rear dorsal fin, and the original break/exposure was through the head so it will take extra work to remove the glue used for an improvised field repair. I did learn a good lesson and will be bring proper consolidates and glues when I go fishing this year. -
Hi everyone. About a year ago or so I bought an exspensive camera and was going to start taking video of my fossil prep and put it on youtube. I bought a Lumix DMC FZ300. After spending waaaaaaaay too much time on the computer and buying a beginners guide book on this camera I realize it is waaaaaaaay to complicated for me! To say the least. So my question is,,,,, does anyone or can anyone recomend a simple camera that can take stills and video and can transfer those images to a PC with Windows 10? Im at my wits end. oh, and where would someone sell a brandnew camera that has only ta

Hey Folks, my presence has been a little light on here lately, I have been hanging around in TFF facebook as an admin and working on furthering my nascent paleo career. I hope you are all doing well, I certainly miss all my forum friends! I have been doing a little side project for a few months: writing Wikipedia pages for fossil Cartilaginous fish. It's one little way I can give back to the fossil community, so the next curious person doesn't have to go through the trouble of finding and accessing references and distilling information for obscure species as I have. It's also a tas

I always have fossils on my mind and today is no exception. I am currently at a conference in the former McDonald’s University in Oak Brook, Illinois and they have tons of limestone slabs are one of there lakes, but I did not see any fossils. Now on the inside they still have many display cases that contain various McDonald’s memorabilia (I.e. old uniforms, happy meal toys, etc.) and I happened to see the below items, I never had seen them in past years. It is nothing special, but it still is fossil related. I came back again today for the conference and I found this Orthoconic nau

PSA: If sending a fossil out, please take a pic of the address on the parcel
-Andy- posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hi all, a friend of mine has lost a fossil of almost $1,000 in value because the parcel was delivered to a different address (in the same country) even though he had a tracking code. The local postal company claimed that they delivered to the address as stated on the parcel and the tracking code. They refuse to tell my friend which address they sent to as that is confidential information. The seller meanwhile stated he wrote down the address exactly as my friend specified, and that he checked my friend's online and Paypal as well to triple confirm that was the correct address. -
Now that I have gained a little knowledge about paleontology, I am able to add some insight into questions forum members have. In providing information, I usually try to find images to support what I say. My question to you is what is the proper protocol for "stealing" a picture or text when found surfing for info on the internet? When do you recognize the contributor? I try to keep posts from becoming long winded and cut info to the bare minimum, but I feel I may be breaching proper protocol. HELP!!!

Does this look like a fossilized turtle shell? Photos should speak for themselves. https://ibb.co/bHmcnT https://ibb.co/dtD7nT https://ibb.co/g2Qyu8 https://ibb.co/nqUDST

Over the holiday weekend we managed to head North to Wyoming. A few pictures and a few "finds" enjoy Started off with a Badger Headed to a place called "talking rock" Checked out some of the indian work and took a few pictures. The Indians would sit in these spaces and work on there arrowheads. Not much shade to be found out on the prairie. Lots of small pieces covering the ground that had been worked.

I am always looking for backgounds to use when taking pictures of various sizes of fossils. A while back I was walking through my local home improvement center and I walked back the paint section. There I noticed all of the different sizes (8" by 10", 4" by 5", 3" by 3") and colors of swatches, and they are all free for the taking. If you ever have an issue with glare when taking pictures, try a different color swatch.

Hi everyone! I'm working on a big website (which will be called World of Fossils ), which hopefully will be released before 2018. I'll let everyone know when it is ready. Anyways, one of the main parts of the website is the Locations part. In it, I made a few pages with lots of information about fossil hunting locations I went to. There are also pictures of the location itself, and pictures of the possible finds. Of course though, I never find all of the possible finds, mostly because they are locations where I go during my holidays, and therefore only hunt for a few ho

Hi Guys, I'm new on here and I am a 3D Artist or Artist in general from 2D Illustrations to 3D. I really enjoyed learning as a child about dinosaurs and all animals. My Dad still holds on to my old Dinosaur toys and animal cards to this day and wont give them back to have something to remember me by. I will be 3D Modeling this Ammonite and animating it. I will share my progress on here with you all. I have an image below of my fossil as well as a 3D scan of it I had done, a while back at the Siggraph animation / technology convention by 3 rivers 3D. http://www.3rivers3d.com/gallery1.html. T

I've been bummed for a few months due to software issues and my scope camera. I was using a image box(shoe box with hole cut for camera(phone). I had my first mazon creek coprolite concretion pop last night. I collected it back in 2014 May with a group put together by Charlie(fossil rock pit 2. It's been through well over 150+ freeze thaw cycles. I was extremely excited it decided to open and reveal it's treasures. The treasure was well, poop! Here is the photo I took in the image box. The image is dull and well...I wasn't happy. I tried to hold my phone on the eye piece of my scope, but

These are some of the things I've collected over the years. I know one is coral, one is petrified wood, one is a jawbone with teeth. I have some volcanic glass with a round imprint (?) the big one has coprolite in the center. There is a Petosky stone, Michigan's state stone, and another bone piece I haven't identified. I'd love any help or information, and discussion on these fossils would be great. I'd also love to see pictures of your collections! I showed you mine . . .

Jurassic Microfossils. Tips For The Starting Micropaleontologist.
yurish posted a topic in Micro-paleontology
I would like to share some pictures with you from my first hunt on microfossils. Hope, that you will help me to identify some of the fossils. Description: Gray clay with foraminifers. Bed of the river Losis, 100m from river Venta. J2 Callovian Sample taken in year 2005 Processing of the sample: First, I cut a small amount of clay from the sample (~35-50 gr.). This piece was then desintegrated with hydrogen peroxide(3%). Then I washed this sample, using 2 sieves (100 microns and 63 microns) for about half an hour. Both fractures (>100 and >63 microns) were separated between -
Hi everyone, My lab colleagues and I are looking for fossil pictures of: 1 - Cordaitales, specifically showing the 'V'-shaped leaf and 2 - Strobylothyone rogenti, a fossil Holothurian (sea cucumber) We are currently working on a textbook entitled “Biodiversität und Erdgeschichte" ("Biodiversity and Earth History”), The book is written by Prof. Dr. Jens Boenigk and Dr. Sabina Wodniok, scheduled to be published in 2014 by Spektrum in Heidelberg, Germany. In addition we plan to publish an electronic version as part of an e-book package, which will be sold to scientific institutions. I
