Hi,

 

Oh, a call for the Pliocene ! 

 

 

In France we call this age the Redonian. It has long been dated from the upper Miocene but now it is from the lower Pliocene. This is a very rare age, represented by a few small lentils in the northwest, the vast majority of which are no longer attainable.

 Thanks, @Coco!

Next will be Pleistocene, where are all those big mammoth and saber cat teeth ?

And than starting over with Cambrian (or Ediacaran) again!

Nice gastropods,Franz

[ClearLake]

I’m enjoying this thread, so I’ll add in some Pleistocene examples. These two are from the Pleistocene aged Waccamaw Fm. of North Carolina. They are two bryozoans; the one on the left is Reussirella owenii and on the right is Discoporella umbellata

 

The squares in the background are 1cm on a side.

Super nice, thank you! Bryos are only very rarely seen from the Pleistocene .

And starting over with Ediacaran or Cambrian!

And we loop back around to the Cambrian!

 

Here's one of my favorite Aphelaspis brachyphasis hash plates from the Conasauga:

Those are both very nicely preserved!  One could do a whole thread on linguids through time - haha

Wow.. you actually have an Eryops claw. I still remember my Eryops Wildlife Treasury Card (or was it DinoCardz?). It still blows my mind that you can go out, find and own a piece of the real thing.

Very simple classic Triassic :

Ok. My turn again. This time with the Early Jurassic Sinemurian. An nice big Arietites solarium from Trossingen in southern Germany with a ø of 46cm.

Wow! That's excellent preservation for an ammonite of that size! 

[opalbug]

Some Middle Jurassic ammonites from the Snowshoe formation in Eastern Oregon.

I found these in a road cut along the Izee Hwy.  I wish I would of had a camera at the time, 1995

as one of the ammonites that I found was about 10 inches in diameter but to fragile to collect.

Ains, I get lost, now it was the turn of the Cretaceous,
  TRUE ? 

 

 

I think I have explained myself wrong.. .

 

I meant that, after the spectacular Solarium Arietites of the early Jurassic, which  @Ludwigia public, it was the turn of the Cretaceous, and not the Middle Jurassic of @opalbug

[Paleorunner]

From the Lower Cretaceous of Madagascar. A pretty Desmosceras latidorsatum.

 

 

[JamieLynn]

@Paleorunner  wow, just wow! 

[FranzBernhard]

Something Paleocene out there ? 

Thank you!
