KimTexan Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I got these last week I think it was from @Nimravis there were a couple other pieces that didn’t make it in this pic though. One was a little ammonite and strombus shell from Florida. He even included a cute little trilobite from his recent fossil hunting trip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice pieces in the picture. That is correct, none of those ammonites are from Florida. Besides the Strombus, which is not shown, the 1/2 bi-valve in the pic 1s a Florida Arcinella cornuta.

The other was a small ammonite, which I have no idea where it is from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimTexan Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I have taken way too long to get this posted and I still don’t have pictures of everything. @Nimravis posted a Mazon fern fossil and an annulara on TFF a few weeks ago. It was stunningly beautiful. I’d never seen one of them before. The Mazon fossils were new to me. Anyway, I raved on about how beautiful it was and he offered to send me some! This is not even half of what he sent me, butbis about half of the Mazon ones he sent me. They’re so pretty. I love them. I finally have a fern that can stand up to the Texas heat and not wilt or die! I love ferns and I absolutely love these little gems. I can be a bit emotional. I cry at the movies, sweet stories and beautiful things. When I took out the first nodule (I think it was this one below) my eyes filled with tears. It was/is so beautiful to me! The picture cannot do it justice. Part of it is crystallized where you see the white and absolutely sparkles in the light. Nimravis sent me a number of pecopteris, a neuropteris and even a little Annularia that I think may be a sphenophylloides. I didn’t include the pic of the annularia because it is quite fragile. There is also another beautiful fern piece that is quite fragile not included in the pic, but stunning with a couple fronds overlaying each other. He also sent me some stems and bark samples not pictured, but are pretty cool. One of the stems thas a texture that still appears like soft wood. He also sent me some clams and a jellyfish. I think you have to use your imagination a little more for the jellyfish, but is so cool. I need to work on trying to figure out the ID on the ferns. I’m new at trying to get the genus and species. I think I’ve left something out, but can’t remember what it was. I still have a whole other set of shell fossils from Florida that I need to post, but I’ll save that for later. Thanks Nimravis for the beautiful fossils! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I am just going to my local post office to pick up a parcel. The donkey was overloaded with mail, yesterday, so couldn't manage to bring it to me. I believe it is a kind gift from a member here. I can scarcely believe that someone who doesn't know me at all could be so generous. More details to follow when i get back. 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

Tidgy's Dad Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Back. Here i am with my present. And inside some lovely Elrathia kingii trilobites to replace the ones i used to have but lost during my move to Morocco. And there's a Peronopsis (or whatever they're currently called) or two as a bonus as well ! ! ! 3 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I need to do a bit of prepping, but they're quite lovely. And as an additional bonus there was a copy of "The Sacremento Bee" thrown in, so there's my reading material for the evening. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

Douvilleiceras Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 The mailman had some interesting packages recently. Inside, an Asaphus lepidurus and an Asaphus punctatus - two beauties from the Volkhov river valley of Russia - were waiting. They'll be part of an ongoing project to collect all the eyestalk lengths of Ordovician Russian asaphids Both bugs (larger is about three inches long, smaller guy is two): The A. lepidurus (notice the fine terrace ridges all over the exoskeleton): Cute A. punctatus (a rather effaced trilobite): The larger bug has a little surprise on the underside: a preserved hypostome with terracing! 2 Regards, Jason "Trilobites survived for a total of three hundred million years, almost the whole duration of the Palaeozoic era: who are we johnny-come-latelies to label them as either ‘primitive’ or ‘unsuccessful’?

Ptychodus04 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I just got a really “crappy” package from @GeschWhat. It’s totally awesome. A copy of her book, 3 coprolites, and some “I licked dino poop” buttons. And yes, I immediately earned the buttons! 4 Regards, Kris Global Paleo Services, LLC https://globalpaleoservices.com http://instagram.com/globalpaleoservices http://instagram.com/kris.howe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
