Uncle Siphuncle Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Correction John, those were not the last of the in situ shots....stay tuned for "Codiopsis, Dakoticancer, Pachydiscus, Oh My!!!" and prepare for one final Mua ha ha....

tracer Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 john... i have questions... don't answer dan, you need to be resting, because you're definitely starting to burn the end at both candles. first of all, my eyes are hurting from having the monitor pulled close. can i put it back where it was now? secondly, are ya'll trying to create some sort of fashion thing with the fingerless gloves, and do you really think that will advance the cause of fossilers with the general public? and i'm not talking the general public on the lower east side strip, in those clubs... thirdly, shouldn't you go home and view your pictures carefully before you upload them to make sure that if you say there are three cool fossils in them, you didn't miss the fourth one? fourthly, what does dan mean by saying he's going to be taking a "highly qualified" person afield, and will you be chaperoning, and if not, why not? fifthfully, if he tries to get a new subspecies named after him and called "codiopsis woehrus libidinissimus", will the naming authority notify you in time to get it quashed before every echinoid collection has to have a specimen with that label? ya'll are great. it is amusing to imagine your escapades, especially in central texas.

Bill Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Dan's Globator / Salenia double play...really cool! Looks like a treble to me. Just to the left of index finger, next to grey rock.

Guest bmorefossil Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 You did see 3 Salenia "sisters".... "Hey Dan, I found a Salenia." (camera coming out, dime in place, focus and...) "Whoa; there's another one!" (looking over toward Dan, then back at the pair, camera and...) "WHOAAA! There are 3 right together!" One of those paleontological moments that we love. i think i see 4, there looks like one top right of the picture attached to some dirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Siphuncle Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 OK here are a few field shots from today.......these specimens look WAAYY more impressive now that they are prepped but this will work for now.....the Pachydiscus is absolutely hands down smokin' now that it has been prepped - very impressive - 3D perfect - about 4 inches diameter - a very rare find in these parts! The Codiopsis stephensoni will probably be most impressive to Mike Murphy as it doesn't look too flashy to most of us as presented....and then I blew my Dakoticancer whistle and they all came out to play....and they'll soon be joining a bunch of their friends in Danny's Dakoticancer Commune.....

(Fossils from Texas should not be smaller than their name. ) 3rd - you and Bmore....ha, ha, HA...GO FISH - (high res) Bill, it's tough to get sharp photos of these little things in the field.

Dan: Yes, the Codiopsis stephensoni is very impressive, even unprepped! I am looking forward to seeing it prepped out. What is the diameter of the test? By the way Dan, I have found 3 of the comatulid crinoid calyces in the Glen Rose like the one that you found. 2 of them seem to have about the same dimensions as yours; the other one is smaller (0.6"), but it appears to preserve the star on the base of the centrodorsal. I have not been able to identify the crinoids, however. The bases of the other 2 were not preserved. There was a lady from the DPS that had one at Fossilmania this year; she was looking for an ID. All that I could tell her was that it was a comatulid crinoid. I would be interested in any ID that you can come up with on these crinoids. I have attached pictures of the comatulid crinoid with the star base preserved. Sorry about the quality of the photos... I am having to use an old digital camera from work as mine was stolen Christmas eve. I have also attached photographs of a comtaulid crinoid that I found in the Saginaw/Loop 820 south quarry on a recent trip. I only found one, but I will look for additional specimens on my next trip to the quarry. This Duck Creek comatulid crinoid is identified as Loriolometra marilynae Nestlell & Tenery, 1988.

tracer Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 john - it wasn't that i thought there were four good things in the picture - i just like making everyone else go back and look for awhile. dan - i've seen eyes like those before. to me they always seem to gently whisper "when i'm through with you, you're going to feel like it was almost worth it..." but your mileage will probably vary (and weave all over the road). good luck, gentlemen, and i'm nominating you to replace the grateful dead on the long strange trip circuit!

Uncle Siphuncle Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Mike I also found two floating micro crinoids in the Kgr on Sat. I'll be out hunting exotics at Garner State Park for much of the week, so next week I should be able to clean some things up and post some images. Grüße, Daniel A.

MikeD Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Bill, it's tough to get sharp photos of these little things in the field. There are some common forams circled in this pic....? Well, that answers the questions that I had about the hundreds of tiny "discs" in a couple of the pictures. I was wondering if they were forams, tiny brachs, or something else (or all of the above).
