MOROPUS Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 They all come from southern Spain, collected by me, and most of my collection was identificated by the Pliocene Museum Director of Estepona.They come from early Pliocene (5.5 m.y.),and all of this 3 are actually extint here. This first one is called Cymatium Doderleini This other Prunum? Olivaeformis ,and finally, The less seen here, and very difficult to find them enterly, Korobkovia Oblonga (very similar to Amusium).I hope you enjoy them! (I`ve got loads of them!)

MOROPUS Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Sorry again for all this.I`ve got some kind of problem with pictures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Owens Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Very nice. Like all fossil hounds I collect both vertebrate & invertebrate fossils as well as artifacts, but my passion is the vertebrates. I appreciate the other two fields of interest, but I don't study them. -----"Your Texas Connection!"------ Fossils: Windows to the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofossil Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Take a look to this massive Terebratula Ampulla brachiopod!Sorry about the other picture! It`s out of the forum! :lol: Thanks for sharing! Photos of brachs are always my favorite. Some of those Cenozoic terabratulas can be quite large. Terabratulas are my largest post Paleozoic brachs. (I have a few bigger brachs from the Carboniferous and Permian) Here's two Terabratulas from Italy. The first is 2 inches long and the second 3 inches Terebratula ampulata Pliocene, Val Botta,Italy (2 inches) Terebratula costae Miocene Novoli, Italy (3 inches) Neither took any prep work. Almost 'perfect' when found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found my first Terebratula fossil shell from the permian of NSW Australia i had no idea what it was at first but I emailed the museum and they replied, dont know the species though mabey one of you can help me??? sorry about the grainy photos its in a very soft siltstone so its quite squished!!!
