JamieLynn Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 As most of y'all know, I enjoy photographing my fossils almost as much as I like finding them! So here are my Best Finds of 2021! No measurements because of "artistic preference" but they are arranged from smallest to largest in each category. I'd love to see your Favorite Finds of 2021 too!

jpc Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 lovely presentation of cool fossils. Did you do the photos on a scanner or with a camera? The white background suggests the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notidanodon Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Great stuff, i am partial to the shark teethThat eocene abdounia is not a reticona, i find it bears more similiarities in cusplet structure with Abdounia enniskilleni 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller pieces are done with a Hayaer Microscope camera but anything bigger than 1/4 inch is just with a plain ole point and shoot Canon. 1 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing this great year of collecting and a fantastic presentation.

bthemoose Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Really nice variety of finds and as others have said, great presentation! I love the coloring of that Orthacanthus tooth. Is it as blue in person as it looks in the photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieLynn Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 @bthemoose Yes it is!! I am amazed at some of the Permian stuff being SO blue. Others are black, some are orange. They really preserved beautifully. @FossilNerd - due to this ongoing pandemic, I have had A LOT OF TIME on my hands..... www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieLynn Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 It's funny when I get in a slump and think "I'm not finding anything interesting" I look back on my years find and realize I'm totally wrong! hahahha 1 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
