Is the dinosaur, or so called dinosaur Deltadromeus Agilis an actual valid species of dinosaur. As some people claim it to be. Others do not. I do not have a clear view of the situation and I'd love someone to properly explain it.

Hi, I logged in here a while ago and have been checking things out every once in a while, particularly since I'm interested in the Canadian side of things. Now I think it's time to introduce myself. I'm a baby-boomer from the 50's, born in England, grew up in Brampton,Ontario,Canada and have been living in the south of Germany since 1987. I began collecting over here, so I haven't had much firsthand experience in Canada or America; just a bit of digging on a few short trips since I moved here. I began with minerals, but I soon moved on to Fossils, first of all since they're readily available in my part of the world(Swabian Alb-Jurassic Age) I specialize in the Aalenium, particularly the upper part, but I'm interested in practically everything, since the themes of the development of life on earth and our planetary metamorphosis are extremely fascinating for me. My collection fills 5 showcases and a number of shelves and spreads on into my preparation room in the basement. It's made up practically only of my own finds over the years. I'll attach a few photos to give you an impression.(If I understand correctly, each Photo can be up to 2 MB. Let's see what happens.) I joined the German fossil Forum "Steinkern.de" in 2008 and am active there writing articles and working as an editor. I've also recently begun contributing to hobby magazines and maintain contacts to professionals in the field. I'll take another look through the forum now to see where I might be able to contribute something. I'm looking forward to hearing something from you; particularly you Canadians. (Don't let that put you Americans off though I lived in Pennsylvania for 3 years) Best wishes, Roger

a genus of barnacles Balanus concavus (Bronn, 1831) Arthropod Balanus concavus Yorktown Formation Miocene Duplin County, North Carolina 4.4 cm Long x 3.5 cm Wide From an old collection, some small pieces have come off and are in the baggie.

This must come from Maine, where virtually everything is Devonian/Silurian marine. I was just whacking a piece that I had dropped off in front of the garage, at some time, with a hammer before tossing it on the fill pile when I noticed this. The whole thing, pieced back together, is about 3 cm long. One short section from the middle is not in the post. It looks sort of like a hollow golf tee. It seems to be entirely made up of beekite. No ?

This was found by my great uncle in the 1950s,found in Utah.
