I did a google image search on them both, and Peltosaurus is out there if spelled with an O : ) Thanks much, for many, many years I thought they were Peltosaurus.

The faunal assemblage and preservation colors make this material so distinctive that anybody who has picked STH micro-matrix would easily have recognized it even without the description. It's a wonderful locality with some really nice micro fossils. And where else are you going to find Basking shark (Cetorhinus huddlestoni) teeth?

Tidgy's Dad Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 From Raback, Sweden, this is an Upper Cambrian phosphatocopid, an early crustacean that resembled an ostracod, but wasn't. True ostracods don't seem to appear til the Ordovician. Falites fala : It's the lumpy thing near the bottom centre of the picture. Other bits are trilobite cranidia. 2 mm wide. 3 Life's Good!

pierrette Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Hi everybody. After seeing the amazing pics that some members got using clip lenses attached to smartphones I made up my mind and got mine. Here are my first attempts with my Huawei P9 Lite, whose camera is not particularly good at close-ups. The lenses give a magnification of only 10x, so I have to zoom like mad, which makes stabilisation difficult. However, I'm quite happy with them. Lutetian, Southpyrenean Basin, North-East Spain: An osicle of Equinoderm (sea star probably) Although the image is not as neat as I would expect, the texture can be seen in the last pic. Lutetian, Southpyrenean Basin, North-East Spain Equinoderm, sea lily?, stem with columnars and one of the cirri? ( Info would be appreciated here as it's the first time I come across something like this) Bartonian, Southpyrenean Basin, North-East Spain Antozoa, Scleractinia, Acroporidae, Acropora. I finally managed to get a pic of the radials of what I assume is an Acropora. The radials present Labellate or dimidiate lower lips flaring or extending outward. We used to call them "spyky stuff" because I had never seen this particular wall disposition before. Macro is useful as well as a source of enjoyment! I need more practice, I know.
