Otodusobliquus Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) A new toy tool arrived in the mail yesterday, a digital microscope for photographing my micro fossils. It isn't a very expensive model, but seems to take decent pictures(I was worried It wouldn't). I am going to post as much of my Aquia formation micro collection here as I can. Starting with Paraorthacodus clarki, Cretalamna appendiculata, and some teeth that are too beat up to identify. Scale is in millimeters.
