snolly50 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 This is a most generous offer with the potential to expand many members fossil experience. Thanks! Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Anything I can do to help out potential microfossiliers. They don't take up a lot of space either.

ted coulianos Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Herb, just sent you a pm. Would love to go "exploring" thru some of that material, Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 Note to all who requested material from me. If you do not get it by the end of this week (5/18) PM me and I'll send out another set. The envelopes were kind of weak and might not make it through the mail .

John Hamilton Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Note to all who requested material from me. If you do not get it by the end of this week (5/18) PM me and I'll send out another set. The envelopes were kind of weak and might not make it through the mail . Herb, I just received the micro matrix you sent. The envelope was damaged but the post office managed to deliver it with both samples intact. I can't wait to see what I find. I'm hopeful that I won't have to get a better quality microscope because this matrix is much smaller than anything I have collected. Thanks again!
