Shamalama Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Very nice assortment of fossils. The Gastropod steinkerns are very crisp. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plantguy Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Wow you came back with all kinds of great material. What a Clypeaster! What are the specimens top row in the photo to the left of the vertebra? Smaller echinoids in matrix? Congrats on the variety!
