Hello all.
High importance and lots of interesting things and fun around fossils!!!
One of the funny sides is something that the more of us have faced once or more. The similarity of a fossil with something completely unrelative, that the fossil reminds us of!!!
What made me open this topic is the fossil in the attached pic, that brought to mind quite enough analogue cases I have seen here in the Forum.
It was a slab bearing a ziziphus sp. leaf and some poaceae sp. (grass) fragments and it was collected up in the favor of the leaf. The prep time came yesterday and I thought it woulad be better to maintain the ... ornametation next to the leaf and to place the part close to the counterpart in a way to achieve the better display, without seeing what exactly was going to come up..
When the work ends, I was surpriced with the result ... ''What a mask!!!'' I whispered...''I am an ''irregular stone'' in drawings but nature not at all...''
Have fun sumbitting your samples here. I am sure there are a lot of nice things to be shown that might build a very interesting and funny collection up...
Kind regards
