pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 So here's my latest batch of fossils received. First up is a couple of mosasaur teeth. The one on the left is a Mosasaurus cf. missouriensis from the Blufftown Formation in Barbour County, Alabama, the one of the right is a Hainosaurus boubker from the Moroccan phosphates. '' Next is a massive Stenopterygius cf. quadriscissus ichthyosaur radius paddle bone from Mörse in Niedersachsen, Germany (an unusual Toarcian locality that I didn't have fossils from in my collection yet) and an elasmosaurid cervical from Texas. While it's unfortunately unknown where the vertebra was found, preservation indicates this is likely Ozan Formation from the NSR, although the Gober Chalk Formation in Fannin County would also be an option. Finally, there's two rare plesiosaur teeth: the one on the left, based on patterns of striations, cf. Tricleidus seeleyi from the Bathonian of the Stonesfield Slate Series and the one on the right the pliosaurid Hastanectes valdenis from the Valanginian Stage of the Early Cretaceous of Hastings in East Sussex. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

That's a stellar find and even better if it did not require a king's ransom. Nice plate with the gang tagging the cave with paleo-graffiti. Should be fun to read books that are half a century old. Always interesting to see how opinions have changed within a lifetime. Cheers. -Ken 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Go back another 50 years and you got the Crystal Palace Dinosaurs almost unrecognisable as the same creature . Cheers Bobby Edited May 18 by Bobby Rico Link to post Share on other sites
Tidgy's Dad Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) After almost endless problems with customs and the Fes Postal Service, I have finally received my long awaited parcel from the Marvelous @Misha. Mainly brachiopods , quelle surprise, but lots of other wonderful items, too, including bryozoa, gastropods, bivalves and a hyolith, I think. And two wonderful scale cubes. Addirions to my Kalkberg Formation collection. More of the weird silicified fossils from the Glenerie : I think my first fossils from the Marcellus Shale; Deep Springs Road : And my favourite, my very first Siphonotretid, : Thank you so much, Misha, this is a super parcel that's going to keep me very busy and very happy over the next few weeks............

Very cool and amazing stuff again@pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon ! I received a nice Plesiosaurus tooth myself yesterday. More precisely, he comes from Werstbury Formation of South Cloucester, UK (Collectoin location = Aust Cliff, South Gloucester). The tooth is 32 millimeters long. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

I had intended to join in the bidding towards the end still, but was so tired after coming home from a day in the Winterswijk quarry that I completely forgot! I guess that saved us a bidding war, and I'm glad the tooth ended up going to you Looks really good, and still something I'd like to add another specimen of to my collection at some point Link to post Share on other sites
