historianmichael Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 We certainly keep @Ptychodus04 busy. Kris did a great job preparing this crinoid cup with three partial associated arms that I found earlier this month. In honor of his great work and my excitement finding the fossil, I enter it into this month's invertebrate fossil of the month competition. Since I won't receive it back until after the close of the competition, I have stolen Kris's photos of the fossil. I hope he doesn't mind. Date of Discovery: November 7, 2021 Date of Preparation Completion: November 27, 2021 Scientific and/or Common Name: Delocrinus vulgatus (with boring sponge damage) Geologic Age or Geologic Formation: Upper Pennsylvanian, Harpersville Formation State, Province, or Region Found: Texas Before prep: After prep: 12 Follow me on Instagram (@fossil_mike) to check out my personal collection of fossils collected and acquired over more than 15 years of fossil hunting!

Samurai Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Hello! This is my first time entering a Fossil of the Month contest, and I wanted to show off this blue-grey Listrucanthus denticle that was inside a phosphatic nodule. Most of the ones I have found tend to be yellowish in color and are not as well defined as this specimine. Date of Discovery: November 17, 2021 Scientific/Common name: Listracanthus sp. Denticle Geologic age or Gelologic formation: Pennsylvanian, Iola Limestone Formation (Muncie Creek Shale Member) State, Province, or Region Found: Missouri The orgional split caused it to break into 3 pieces. Detaching the unglued right portion, in my opinon, opens up a new perspective of this denticle and created a more dramatic shot 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
