astron Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 I went to the candy store today and bought some ''sweets'' (mineralized)...!!! Fully accidentally ( ), my friend Bruno (docdutronc) was there and he kindly offered me two big ''chocolate'' slabs, the first on Sigillaria and the second on Syringodendron patterns... Thanks a lot, Bruno, for your delicious presents... Astrinos P. Damianakis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roz Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Does your trilo bite? Now that is just scary! Very cool... It looks like it just woke up from a quarry and not too happy about it either. Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astron Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 It's actually unbelievable what happens with the faces here This plantation plate (part and counterpart) was found last Sunday and it's one from my very few finds that didn't need any prep. In the morning I took the attached pic along with some other preped items. While trying to adjust these pics just a little before, my attention caught this sad face... Astrinos P.

Bullets picture copied from site http://www.gseven.co...nge-Ballistics.) Well observed, Roanoker!!! Thank you for sharing and Gery for his pic, as well... Belemnites are '' the typical ammunition'' of the Forum... You have brought to my mind some very nice specimens previously displayed here, with more characteristic a big plate with a lot of belemnites scattered all around, that Roger (Ludwigia) had found not long ago. It reminded me of an ''abandoned ammunition store house''... I looked for that pic, didn't find it though... Edited August 1, 2012 by astron Astrinos P.

Nice job, Roanoker!!! You have brought it all!!! So Roger's excellent ''ammmunition'' (belemnites) plate, as Thomas' (Kosmoceras') ''Let's see your thunderbots'' thread, where the TFF members have added a lot of important and amazing contributions. The bad is that with that big ammunition concentration, it wasn't posssible an accident to be avoided... A terrible explosion occured and ''an aircraft'' passing over the spot was hit accidentally with the result shown in the attached pic... Actually, it's about a Sauropsis longimanus fish from the fabulous Thomas' (Oilshale's) collection... Edited August 3, 2012 by astron Astrinos P.
