Thanks you for your comments and thanks to you I have Jurassic ammonites, belemnites, sponges, gastropods, and brachiopods in this collection.

And thanks to you I have a few nice North American ones in mine

I have a gallery devoted to my finds from Just above the Iridium Layer. I welcome you and others to check it out. I was fortunate to return to the site this summer and add specimens to my collection.

Nice gallery too Jeff! It’s fascinating to know that this fauna are some of the ones to survive the asteroid strike of the KT Extinction event.

 

I really need to check out the member’s galleries section more... There is some great stuff there that is too often over looked by me...

You've talked about it, but WOW, that is one heckuva collection!...and nicely curated. Good work, Jeffrey,  that is a very productive eight years.

Thanks Mike. The New Mexico Upper Cretaceous ammonites are there on account of you. Hope that more will eventually join them.

The first drawer has a variety of specimens; sponges, conularids, hyoliths, tentaculites, corals, and bryozoans

 

What is that elongated reddish one to the right, here? Sponge of some sort?

btw I've left a comment on your Iridium layer fossils in the gallery.

[Jeffrey P]

That is Middle Devonian from Deer Lake, Pennsylvania. I posted it in the ID section, but no definite ID was received. I'm guessing some type of sponge or plant. A very cool looking fossils whatever it is.

OK. I never saw it and I'm having trouble finding it right now.

Surely looks like a decent museum

I'm not a bit surprised but immensely impressed, Jeff. That cabinet was a great acquisition. Thanks for sharing your extensive, beautifully organized collection.

So well cataloged, organized and presented; it makes me a little ashamed of my amassed heap of disorder. 

Thank you. Maybe this will help motivate you.

Very very nice!

 

I too am envious of the organization.

Thanks Don. We should try to get together the next time you come up to New York.

Thanks Wayne. The KT Boundary site in New Jersey I've visited is unique as far as I know- the only site where ammonites survived the end of the Cretaceous. Hopefully we can get together next time I'm in Kentucky. Would I'm sure be fun and I'm always looking to expand my collection of Ordvician, Silurian, and Mississippian fossils.

Thanks Frank. My collection of New Jersey Upper Cretaceous fossils wouldn't be what it is if it weren't for you.

That is an astonishing collection especially when it's only been eight years. 

Thanks for posting these wonders. 

Look at all those brachiopods! 

And thanks to Tim for the suggestion you post the pics. 

Thanks Adam. I knew you would appreciate those brachiopods. I'm lucky to have access to many sites where they are prevalent.

Jeff, 

Glad you decided to post this for the Forum members to see!  

Like the others, I am drooling over this. 

It is quite an impressive and expansive collection!

Any chance of a shot of the cabinet itself? 

Thanks for posting it.  

Thanks Tim. It means a lot to me that you were present when many of those specimens were collected.

Some, though by no means all of it, is pictured in my Cretaceous gallery. Glad you like what you see.

From you that IS a compliment. Thanks.

Wow Jeff. This is super impressive!! Puts my display to shame. I love the diversity that you have collected. I always have a soft spot for a really nice brach or gastropod even when I’m out looking for trilobites ha. If I can get my display even partially labeled like you that would be a dream. True dedication!!
