Here is a Crinoid ossicle from the Morrison Formation, Western Colorado

I believe it was @caldigger who said "ossicles are fossicles". A cool fossil and some awesome photography! Love seeing all the pictures on this thread! :thumbsu:

Thanks Bobby, they are lovely in hand, though I've found macro shots to be quite difficult with this lot, since material from this locality is usually quite large (calamites trunks, stigmaria etc) and it just ends up looking like regular bumpy rock under any magnification. :ighappy:

That’s true , I photographed some polished wood slices and was amazed at the details. Have a look if you get the chance. Cheers Bobby

Yes just my dyslexia and thanks for the correction. I tried for a good 10 minutes to try and spell it and I just got board.

Hello Bobby,

I realized that it would be due to your dyslexia, but many of our friends could be misled if they did not know this mineral.

You're right, turns out it was ludwigia who originally coined the phrase. I just liked it so much I felt it should be used whenever possible!

Now for something different from me, baltic amber with some bugs inclusions. I can’t ID them probably flys/mosquitoes ? I don’t have any stacking software just an iPhone and clip on lens.  I think they are not to bad photos.  Cheers Bobby

Hope some of you might like to see some of my fossil plant seeds from isle of sheppey.  I found some many years ago and our friend Tom @TomWhite kindly sent me some beauties last year.

Ok Bobby. Kind of a rush job.

This rock is about 3cm long, and the longest snail is approximately 5mm.

 

Hope you enjoy!
