And look what else was there : 

May the Foss Be With You! 

Actually looks more like the Stormtroopers from episode IV, A New Hope.

Or Lord Vader's helmet after it was melted. OK, I'll give you that one!

Hoping the package made it to you!  

And the package arrived today! 

Thank you very much for the nice ferns, ammonites, quartz (not sure) and petrified wood.

 

For the pictures... well... you will have to wait until the photo upload problem is solved. For now i am not able to tpload any pics on tff.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

So very glad it has finally got there. 

If you reduce the size of the photos to less than 1 MB they should load. It works for me.

Yay!! I know it’s a random mishmosh of items I threw together just to give you something!

 

So the ammonite, I had purchased unprepped ammos from Ludwigia to try to prep.  I don’t have the tools so used an exacto knife.  That is one of the first ammonites I prepped :) 

 

The quartz like crystal is actually dogtooth calcite.  It was found here in Alberta.  

 

The petrified wood, my girls found in the river here in Edmonton and wanted to add them.  Not sure if there was agatized wood but it’s also from Alberta.

 

The ferns are from the Pennsylvanian and just neat haha

 

Was there a piece of ammolite too? That’s also from Alberta lol. 

 

I tried to put as many items from my location as possible and on the fly to boot haha!

That looks like a selenite (gypsum) crystal. Where is it from? Where are the ferns from?

OK, I thought those ferns looked familiar.

The wood does too - I've got identical stuff my grandpa collected in Drumheller when he was young.

Where in AB is the selenite from?
