Brittle Star Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I have only visited this place once as it is a bit of a hike to get to.

TqB Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 A fascinating selection of good finds. The lobster antenna is a fine mystery object - what size is it? Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brittle Star Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 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....

I'd like to see him try to get a straight line on a bumpy surface like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brittle Star Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 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. Never ask a starfish for directions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
