I have only visited this place once as it is a bit of a hike to get to. Hopefully I will attach the photos in the correct order otherwise :headscratch:

1 - Deshayeites forbesi

2 - Deshayeites forbesi showing in tact siphuncle same specimen as 1

3 - Inside view of part of an Amia fish scull, the museum knew exactly which part I have no idea without looking out the paper they gave me.

4- Part of a lobster leg with small gastropod to the left.

5 - Lobster antenna

6 - Fish fin spine

7 - Holocystis elegans coral

Sorry no scale not a recent photo. I would say 4 - 6 inches.

In addition the ammonite with siphuncle the guy at the NHM initially thought I had painted it on with a felt tip....

Those are cool, especially the fish skull!

I'd like to see him try to get a straight line on a bumpy surface like that.

Ha, a 3D line, even harder. Won't make a comment on his eyesight. Would like to see him say that to a guy.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments.
