minnbuckeye Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I have recently been contracted by the State of Minnesota to do veterinary work for the Trout Hatcheries in SE Minnesota. Yesterday was involved in visiting two of the three hatcheries that I will be involved with. On the way to the visits, I just had to take a short look at some rock outcroppings and found this nice specimen!! Looking forward to revisiting this site! I always love multiple specimens in a piece of matrix and finding a maclurite snuggled up against a big cephalopod was a first for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Chris Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 If those are blades of grass in the background, this is a big fossil! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arizona Chris Paleo Web Site: http://schursastrophotography.com/fossiladventures.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deutscheben Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 That is a lovely find, they make for a great composition in the matrix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
