mikeymig Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I have been taking my daughter Becky fossil collecting with me since she was a baby. When she looks at some of the fossils we collect they remind her of other things. She got me doing it and now when I find something weird or different I have to give it a name. I taught her the names of the fossils we collect but she insists on calling them what they look like to her. Here are some of her favorites and now you will be able to see what my Becky sees. mikey Butterfly Brachiopod, Coral Moon, Honeycomb Coral, Gnome Cap Coral, Tornado Coral Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagurus Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Wow. Impressive illustrations. You're quite a creative guy, Mikey, and it looks like Becky's inherited your imagination. Or could it be the other way around? Now I'm all mixed up. Start the day with a smile and get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batty Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 My 3 year old does the same thing, it's always amusing. Good on Becky for thinking outside the box and good on you Mike for bringing out her creativeness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scylla Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Carmine (I think) had some similar ones. Shark teeth sailboats if I remember correctly. I love these, they are creative, artful, and do not destroy the fossil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 we always called cucullea steinkerns fox faces, in the south I've heard them called turtle heads, probably too difficult a photoshop job to mock them up though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
