Shamalama Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I'me loving these photos, but I am noticing a distinct bias towards vertebrates. Where are all the Brahiopods????? -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you already looked for the rugose plateau? Looks like maybe mid cervical. Nr. 6 or 7 seems a good match. Also that looks like a really big Azhdarchid posterior cervical on the right there. Maybe the second to last cervical? Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the dealer had it labeled has Sigilmassasaurus since they provided the holotype material and it looked the same but I showed him that it lacked the plateau... he learned something Yes I think that is a Azhdarchid cervical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are collectors but not all of the dealers have websites. A few are setup at the show but most are buying inventory. Some of the best dealers I deal with at the show do not have websites. Lots of dealers coming to the show are not set up, they are just buy for their inventory. Edited January 29, 2020 by Troodon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 From the Permian of Texas a new large rare amphibian called “Archeria” on display at the Days Inn venue. The skeleton is almost 9 feet long. Eryops? On a side note some news, the person displaying these specimens indicated that they have found a skeleton of Kritosaurus from the Aguja FM. The Skull has diagnostic features to that genus. The specimen will be described over the next year or two and will be the second hadrosaur from that fauna. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
