2022 in Review (My Best Fossil Finds)

[JamieLynn]

As y'all know, I love photographing my fossils almost as much as I love finding them. So of course, I have to do a Year in Review of my best fossil finds! I seem to be averaging about 150 best finds a year....not too shabby methinks! Hope y'all all had a great fossiliferous 2022 and that 2023 is EVEN BETTER

WOW!

[Mikrogeophagus]

Awesome stuff. Love the variety in age and location!

[JamieLynn]

thanks y'all!!

Great 150 favorites! Now select your favorite 5. My five (from your list) are chosen already. Will they match yours??

great pictures of fine fossils.  Thanks for sharing.

@minnbuckeye  oh Mike, that is going to be DIFFICULT!! But I am indeed curious to see what matches! hahhaha!!

 

Okay.

1.  Cretaceous Turtle (just found it last week....havn't found much Cretaceous Turtle stuff, so that was exciting).

2.   Pleistocene Turtle Skull 

 3.  Cretaceous Codiopsis echinoid

4.  the Dolphin tooth from Aurora NC

5.  Kainops trilobite....I've always wanted a roller and I finally found one! 

 

I will probably change my mind in about an hour as to which are my 5 favorite!!! That was SO HARD TO DO

You make it look deceptively easy!  

 

 

A splendid 2022 collection!

I totally agree and enjoyed your choices. My top 5 were

      1. Pleurodictyum

      2. Ptychodus

     3.  Any Hyposaenia 

     4. Anicoceras

     5. Sclerorhychos

Though the trilobite and dolphin tooth were next in line.

[JamieLynn]

The Anicoceras was next in line for me! hahahhaah  I like your selections!

I feel like I'm looking at pages in a textbook, those photos are so crisp and uniform. We're lucky to have your photography skills AND your fossil-hounding skills. The Oklahoma pieces are probably my personal fav!

[JamieLynn]

thank you @lzbones! 

[Tidgy's Dad]

How lovely.

What a great visual of your fossiliferous year!
