digit Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Very cool. Looks like some sort of botryoidal mineral form. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botryoidal Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Guaranteed. Any oddity form a site is always worth pocketing and giving a closer look. I've got some botryoidal common opal covering the inside of a nice hollow piece of silicified fossilized coral that we collected several years back with forum member @Sacha. He was nice enough to cut and polish that one which is displayed proudly with several other pieces from that trip. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Trying to find an old thread (unsuccessfully) here where I may have posted a photo already. I'll have to try to remember to grab a nice photo when I get back home. Currently up in Chicago enjoying some un-Florida weather--22F and a good chance of snow.

I really like the crystals and sea cucumber’s gob. What equipment do you use? I have 2 stereoscopes and one digital scope. I believe these pictures were taken with a Bausch and Lomb stereoscope that I bought a couple months ago at Goodwill for $20. I then bought a digital camera that fit in the lens to take the pictures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found Fossil Forum images all over the web, and I would as least like to let people know who took them. I use a free editing software called Photoscape, to do any post processing and watermarking. It is an easy, intuitive tool, with tons of excellent features, for making your pictures better. Not as confusing as some of the other editing software out there. I also seen some of my images form TFF used in other people’s blogs on the net. I have never been asked if they can be used and the forum was not sited . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimravis Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Okay, now these are not the greatest pics, I used my I Phone to shot the close up pics through one of my stereoscopes, tomorrow if I have time I will hook a digital camera onto the scope for proper pics. The other unfortunate thing is that I do not have stacking ability as some of the other members do, but with that said, I hardly take pics of these small fossils. Here are three very small teeth that I found in some Sharktooth Hill matrix that I received from Doren @caldigger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 Inspired by @Nimravis crystals inside of a small Pennsylvanian brachiopod I was wondering have any more of you got crystals growing inside a fossil ? If you have please post here with some nice Marco images. I will second Ralph’s with an theropod indet from Morocco, I hope you like this little toothy geode . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to love the color on STH material. The teeth pictured appear to be (in order): Tope Shark (Galeorhinus sp.), Stingray (Dasyatis sp.), and Basking Shark (Cetorhinus sp.). I know there are a number of free versions of focus stacking software (though I have not tried any and cannot personally vouch for them). Try an internet search for "free focus stacking software" and see what you term up. If you find one that works well, let us know here as I think others would love to have this capability to produce micro-photos free from the effects of limited depth of field.

Bobby Rico Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Looking through some of my fossil with the macro lens I found quite a few stowaways. So let’s see some of your hitchhikers. First up is an Anadara sp from Japan with I don’t know ? paucicrura rogata - minnesota usa with an ostracod I think. The following bivalve is a Trigonia costata with attached oyster and tube worm but I forgot to photograph it , I will add later. Middle Jurassic Bajocian humphriesianum zone at the Kahlenberg in Ringsheim, southwest Germany , Dactylioceras Cf Athleticum with a worm tube Ilminster Somerset.uk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I have a friend who is dyslexic and also never properly developed stereo vision. Didn't stop her from being one of the leading coral marine-biologists and from driving (despite her depth perception issues).
