AJ Plai Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Very nice blue fossils! I am a big fan of blue also. So here are some of my blue fossils: Iguanodon Bone Slice from Wealden Clay, Isle of Wight - UK Ammolite Fragment with predominantly blue/green color and a bit of purple This one is Ammolite Ammonite Placenticeras Meeki from Alberta - Canada with pretty much full rainbow spectrum so it contains some blue iridescent in it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kehbe Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Blue sandalodus tooth! Pennsylvanian, Johnson co. Kansas (edited to include another picture) Edited February 22, 2013 by Kehbe It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives.

Wrangellian Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Tim's articulated fish are better, but the fish scales out here tend to be blue too - these are in a coprolite: (Sorry the color is a little off, I need to take the pics in sunlight..)

Harry Pristis Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Blue-banded agatized coral 'chopper' from the Peace River, Desoto County, Florida. Technically, this may be better described as a pseudomorph after coral from the Early Miocene Tampa Formation. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Just noticed this thread today. Nice stuff here. I've had a quick look through my collection and see that the overwhelming majority is made up of hues ranging from black over grey and on to brown beige and red or greenish, but real pure blue is pretty rare by me other than a bit of shimmer on a pyritized ammo or the following pieces. Bivalve shells Macoma baltica, Cerastoderma edule & Spisula sp. found under the tideline at De Kaloot beach in Zeeland, Holland. Holocene: A sliced Graphoceras concavum from the upper Aalenian at Geisingen, southwest Germany. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

sseth Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 This is probably the most exciting fossil I have found this year. I posted it a while back, so you guys have seen these pix if you've been paying attention. These are blue-green Eocene crocodilian bones from the Wasatch Fm of southwest Wyoming. I have been slowly doing some prep work on them and there is more out there to be collected (over Labor Day, I hope). I posted on this that someone told me these were actually turquoise, but I have also heard form other mineral folks that they are likely some other blue-green mineral. The first photo here is of a small plate of rock with a vertebra in it: Untitled-2.jpg The second photo is the bottom side of that same plate. Untitled-3.jpg And this is the group of plates all put together more or less. The piece in the abopve pix is at the top right. The color is ba don this, but you can still see the bluish color, especially of the triangle shaped bone at center right... a cervical rib. Untitled-1.jpg I am pretty excited about this and would be thrilled if it has a skull. Oh, and you guys will hear about it if it does. That is amazing! I have not seen a piece colored like this. Great find. _____________________________________ Seth www.fossilshack.com www.americanfossil.com www.fishdig.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteseer Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Is that an STH Bonebed planus? At most sites, it's tough to find a tooth with a lot of blue in it. I have only a few. You get more blue teeth (some with orange roots) at Ant Hill according to what I have been told. I'm blue da ba dee da ba die... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Oh come on Troy, I know you smeared some food coloring on an old bone just so you could have something to post. This tooth was as blue as the sky when it first came out of the ground and quickly (within a half an hour) turned this dull grey. Oh that oxygen is an evil sort!
