Here is a close up. @FossilNerd I flipped the zoom upside down, it made it easier for me to visualize the potential for the area in orange to be an inner layer or infill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I don't have quite the zoomability as @FossilNerd, but here is some Pennsylvanian Carboniferous material with the appearance of very termite-like bores and some type of infill material that is also permineralized. I have both pieces of this section of material that fit together with possible insect bore holes in each piece. Area of interest is white banding with tan infill. Successively closer in shots. I need to try the above shot again. The lighting outside made it difficult to focus for my cellphone + macro lense attachment to stay focused. Ah, well, still better than my aging eyes can see in real life! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Silicified xylem from a Pennsylvanian Lycopsid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I know some of you have awesome Lycopsid scars you could show and I would love to see them. Here is the best I have been able to find. Pennsylvanian. I can't tell if there is a cordaite leave overlaying the pattern here..am guessing this would be normal texture due to decomposition before permineralization. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peat Burns Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Here are some Composita brachiopods from Oglesby, Illinois (Pennsylvanian) that have been etched with acid allowing the brachidium (lophophore support structure) in the inside of the shell to be seen. You can see the brachidium spiral down to the lateral margin of the commissure. Here is a stacked image (Scale in mm): Here's another one with the brachidium visible on the right: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Today we are going in close to the Upper and Late Cretaceous of Hell Creek and Two Medicine Formation. First up is this a real cool little bit of Dinosaurs eggshell from TMF this was given to me by a friend. Next is a tiny fragment of Herbivorous Hadrosaur mummified skin from Judas River, Montana . Now a beautiful Ceratopsian indent, Garfield Country.MT and finally Edmontosaurus toe bone from South Dekota. Hope you all are enjoying my thread. cheers Bobby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have please post here with some nice Marco images. Here you go, Bobby - a Treptoceras crebriseptum orthoconic nautiloid with some crystals growing inside of it from Etobicoke Creek here in MIssissauga, Ontario, Canada (Georgian Bay Formation, Upper Ordovician) - enjoy! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
