Here's one of my really nice invert fossils. A little crab, almost perfectly preserved in a cave made of Travertine. Quality varies wildly with these, this isnt a super high quality one but ever since I saw one of these on an auction site I wanted one and this one was most affordable for me. Anyone else here own one of these? Lmk!

Any idea why these little bones are blue? (I know the look a little green here but in sunlight they’re much more blue.) Found a very remote place in Central Turkey.

I found this bone in Florida's Peace River in a gravel bed that contained Pleistocene and Holocene land vertebrates. I am unsure about this bone. Is it a small deer, or is it a turkey bone? Or, am I entirely wrong and it's an alligator? Thanks in advance! MikeG

But when I check the samples I saw some differences. They are all find in the same formation: Tırtar Formation - Serravalian (Turkey-Karaman-Seyithasan (like my other collectings and sharing)) Thanks and best regards.

While researching a question on species naming rules, I came across an interesting story about Turkey making changes to species names against the ICZN Code because Turkey found the names offensive. Names referring to Armenia and Kurdistan were changed. See quotes from a BBC article as mentioned in The Armenian Weekly: https://armenianweekly.com/2009/03/04/learnings-from-the-sari-gelin-case/ Can you imagine the outcry amongst scientists if the names of Megalonxy jeffersonii or Washingtonia filifera (the only native palm in Arizona) were changed because

Hello. I was on holiday in Turkey in summer of 2015, in Kemer, and i found a big rock, half the size of a bowling ball, that had some white formations on it, which you can see in the picture attached. The formations looked like petrified worms, almost like spaghetti. There were many such formations all over the rock. They were not very long, 2-4 cm I would estimate. Can you please help me find out what these white formations are? are they some kind of fossilized worms or some other sea creatures? Thank you.

A new paper is available online that will surprise all of you: Stéphane Jouve; Volkan Sarıgül; J.-Sébastien Steyer; Sevket Sen, 2017. The first crocodylomorph from the Mesozoic of Turkey (Barremian of Zonguldak) and the dispersal of the eusuchians during the Cretaceous. Journal of Systematic Palaeontology. Online edition. doi:10.1080/14772019.2017.139346. I remember that Turkey has yielded the remains of the extinct ape Ankarapithecus but also extinct rodents, but the discovery of Turcosuchus may surprise some paleontologists due to its location in northern Anatolia and
