JamieLynn Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 A Fossil A Day....keeps the blues away! Or something like that... I started an Instragram account (jamielynnfossilquest) and am posting a fossil a day, so I figured I should do that on here, to REAL fossil enthusiasts! I'm a few days behind, so I will start out with a few more than one a day but then it will settle down to One Fossil (but I will admit, I'll probably miss a few days, but I'll double up or whatever.) I'll start with Texas Pennsylvanian era, but will branch out to other locations and time periods, so expect a little of everything! So enjoy A Fossil A Day! Texas Pennsylvanian Fossils: Nautiloid Agathiceras ciscoense Brachiopod Neochonetes acanthophorus Trilobite Ditomopyge sp. Gastropod Straparollus sp. Bivalve Astartella vera Cephalopod Brachycycloceras sp, Brachiopod Cleiothyridina orbicularis 1 19 Link to post Share on other sites
Tidgy's Dad Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Very pretty. The Straparollus and the Agathiceras are gorgeous but my favourite is that incredible Neochonetes! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sure there are tons of posts with tittles that closely match. Your title just jogged my memory as Dave’s was a nice reprieve for me during the pandemic lockdown times. I’m sure your thread will be equally enjoyable! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
