grandpa Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I've been suffering "fossil a day" withdrawal. I'm so glad to see this new offering. Texas Penn fossils are some of my favorites. You have a nice variety of specimens. Great job photoing and ID'ing your collection. I use your posts to help me in my own fossil IDs. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next. (OMG, I'm already slipping into "fossil a day" withdrawal again.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Sorry I thought this was an older thread, so only now spotted it. Really well photographed and a great way to catalogue a collection too. If I was in the doldrums I am not not now, Don't know if we choosing favourites but I like Amphibian Jaw (Oklahoma Permian). I wish I had thought of this thread, all the best Bobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieLynn Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 @Bobby Rico Start your own Fossil A Day! As you said, it's kind of a way to catalogue a personal collection. And show it off! Glad you found the thread and post when you start one too! Maybe I should rename it JamieLynn's Fossil A Day so we don't get all confused....hahahah www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you found the thread and post when you start one too! I have trouble cataloging my collection because of my dyslexia. MrsR helps but it is not her bag . Maybe a daily commitment would indeed help me to get my collection straight . Of course I need to keep a digital copy (screen grab) just in case the forum was to finish. I would if I did, call my thread “ The Daily Fossil Record “ or something as stupid. Very gracious of you to permit me to copycat your thread , I will consider it . Looking forward to seeing more of your collection. Cheers Bobby 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
