Arjen Lans Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Nice Kosmos. Beautiful to see these thousands years old critters as if they were trapped only yesterday. Here's another post of mine. Two sharp and beautiful big Cooper river benedeni. The first is has a remarkable orange rooth and olive crown. The size is 2,75”. The other one has the common, dull, Cooper river colour, but is a very big fat lower, measuring 2,9”. Edited March 9, 2012 by Arjen Lans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDOTB Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Wow this is a threat thread! So many wonderful fossils out there that have been found. It puts my meager collection to shame! But its even more motivation to get out there and find something amazing! So, if anyone needs me, just look in the local river/creek/quarry, pit, beach etc, because thats where I'll be... Ha ha. Great fossils everyone! DO, or do not. There is no try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arjen Lans Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 WOW, look at that turtle!!! Great prep job Slealhead9! Ok, for now here's the last benedeni pic that I'm posting for now. My biggest and the 2 smallest (personal finds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THobern Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I think that the smaller two are threshers, not benidini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjen Lans Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hi Thobern, You could be right on the left tooth. From this location only A. vulpinus, A. superciliosus, A. exigua, A. grandis and another, not descriped, Alopias sp. are found. The latter two are the rarest. Should it be an Alopid, only A. grandis is an option, but still... The small tooth to the right is a big fat posterior P. benedeni for sure. Here's a picture of the other side Thanks for your feedback! Arjen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerryK Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 No one has shown their finest brachiopod. I'll be the first. My finest is a cluster of brachiopds. There are 12 Orthospirifer attached to a Paraspirifer from the Silica Shale of Ohio. This cluster of Orthospifer shows how the Paraspifer was in life position in the mud with the pedical down and the commissure up. As the Othorspifers attached to the shell and grew, they eventually covered commissure preventing the Paraspirifer from opening its valves and probably killed it. The Othospirifer were then encrusted by bryozoans and worn tubes. This specimen is shown in multiple views to illustrate the 3D cluster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
