Wrangellian Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I do recall it, and it has turned out more spectacular than I thought it would at the time! Where do you come up with this kind of stuff?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Wow. Not often that you see "Oligocene" and "crinoid" in the same sentence... Good stuff, Paul!

FossilDAWG Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 What a gem! It does look like the material I have seen from Mist, but I heard that site was slumped over and is no longer accessible. Maybe PRK has a different site? Or maybe it was collected some time ago, or the site has been re-exposed (erosion giveth and erosion taketh away)? Seriously PRK, you have some amazing specimens in your collection. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
