caldigger Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Nice clear photos! I love the perspective shot looking down on the Archaeotheriums. Thanks letting us have a brief visit to the museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I think the ammonites are (top to bottom): Didymoceras nebrascense, Didymoceras cheyennense, Exiteloceras jenneyi, Placenticeras sp., and Texanites sp. The ammonite reconstruction resembles a Lytoceras sp. Thanks for the tour. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coelacanth Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Both of the amphibians from your first post are from the Kazimovian stage, Pennsylvanian epoch, Carboniferous period of Linton, OH near the mouth of the Yellow Creek. Both specimens are casts. The one on the left is a cast of the holotype of Saurerpeton latithorax Cope, and the one on the right is a cast of the holotype of Platyrhinops lyelli Steen.

Coco Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I think your 1st unknown mineral is gypsum, and the second one could be one of micas.

MR.CRINOID Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 This pictures are very interesting. It give me a new perspective in taking pictures of my fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 The bird is not Gallinuloides. (Note the spelling). There are 20 something species of bird described form the Green River Fm. Gallinuloides is possibly the best known. I hope the Denver Museum doesn't have this labeled as Gallinuloides. This one is a specimen of Primobucco mcgrewi, a basal coraciiformes (relative of kingfishers). The Denver 'specimen' is a cast of a Smithsonian specimen. I call this the running bird, cuz he looks like he died mid-pace. But the careful observer will note that the front 'leg' is actually his wing. I love this fossil.

maty9999 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I believe the hominins top to bottom are, Homo ergaster, Homo habilis, Australopithecus afarensis, and Paranthropus boisei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IonRocks Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 The diorama that Crinoid is in is really one of my favorite things at the museum, even after going probably 20 times. You're photos turned out much better than mine did, the glass makes it difficult on lots of these specimens. Where is the Synthetoceras skull? I haven't taken notice of it before. Also, the amphibian skulls were labeled as Saurerpeton obtusum and Amphibamus lyelli. Both casts of Pennsylvanian Linton Formation in Ohio.
