Wrangellian Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Interesting stuff, Gery! What is that last one.. some kind of Gryphaea, snail, or an ammonite? The 2nd-to-last ammo shows upside-down when I click on it, for some reason. Edited October 30, 2014 by Wrangellian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilized6s Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 It looks like the preservation on some of those is down right jaw dropping! Did you attempt to crack or split rocks/concretions open?

Paleoworld-101 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Great pictures! Those are some nice Ammonites you've got there, but what's with the Wildebeest and Rhino? The manor has it's own safari park?!? "In Africa, one can't help becoming caught up in the spine-chilling excitement of the hunt. Perhaps, it has something to do with a memory of a time gone by, when we were the prey, and our nights were filled with darkness..." -Eternal Enemies: Lions And Hyenas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Oh you had a nice trip there Gery! I like the seaweed and fossil pics. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.
