Cool! Sounds even better than the other one. Must have wandered a long way from home.

 

Thanks, Roger...3,000 some odd miles is pretty remarkable.

Well, I didn't do much other than collect the thing. :P This exceptional specimen lead to a remarkable story...pretty cool to watch the process. Thanks for checking it out.

 

Science! :D

And recognize the special nature of it, and placed it in the proper place for such a remarkable find.:P (Those are the 3 most important parts).

Well said.  There was much more to it than just collecting, you also had to recognize it was something different.  And then you had to know to have a professional look at it.  And then be willing to donate it for study.  Well done!

Just a little update on this ammonite. It is indeed a new species (in the process of being described) and "is the first record of Parapuzosia (Austiniceras) in the Cenomanian of North America".

A first for New Mexico was cool, but a first for North America is ice cold. :)

I'm so jelly! :P

 

It's not every day you get to be the first to discover a species! Awesome!

Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.
