Soon there will be a brand called Megalodon, and Trilobite, etc... and then we'll really be $^#%&'d.

At least ebay has everything in categories, so long as people list things in the right category.

Hey dude, dig these new Gomphothere sneakers and I got the latest in the Hastalis brand clothing line. I'm styling!

I confirm you that no package from alberta arrived here yet.

 

I do not know what to say. Looks like alberta's goods import is forbidden in japan.

Give it a bit.  Hopefully it will arrive.  Post is crazy!  I’m shocked.

The courier is swimming it over to Japan in his teeth.

 

No kidding...hope he wasn’t eaten by sharks...how funny would it be multiple millennia later...someone digs up a human skeleton, in the jaws of a shark, clutching a package in his teeth that says “To: @David in Japan

:rofl:

I hope it has a better address than that. No wonder he hasn't gotten it!

It’s about time to tell David about the perfect 7” T-Rex tooth that you sent him, which now resides in a postal workers home as a door stop.

You should have told me from the start. I have now to gather my stuff and pay a polite visit to my favorite post office.:ninja:

I really don't know what the issue with your parcell. The one Monica send me arrived quite smoothly and was sent almost during the same period.

Did she send a bubble mailer?  Mine was a box probably why it’s taking longer :(

While this thread is till alive and we wait eagerly for 2 of poor David's parcels to show up, here is the latest from my Secret Santa. 

New pics of the goodies from the Pierre Shale formation, near Glendive, Montana. 

First up, Baculites eliasi. 

20180202_001121-1-1.jpg.2683b139edef96c12342cf93bd7f4f6c.jpg20180202_001121-1-2.thumb.jpg.d25b6d6d2e1dd9a14caa1026bc461c57.jpg

Then Jeletzkytes planus . The beautiful greens, reds and blues of the shell when it catches the light don't show up very well, unfortunately, but the rainbow colours reflected are gorgeous.

20180202_001815-1-1.jpg.937ce158b9e5474c7493b387da7f5a2d.jpg20180202_001815-1-2.thumb.jpg.b760fe3f7e6364a5d31dccd8d90caf58.jpg

And there are some interesting tiny bits inside the venter as well.

20180202_002158-1.thumb.jpg.a622f86f1065bc45c6855cb871b30b12.jpg

Then some Inoceramus sp there are so many species! 20180202_002335-1-1.thumb.jpg.03db53dbb9b8e1d38e9049ba0e1478a0.jpg20180202_002353-1-1.thumb.jpg.20e84be50beaeaf9b62420121d1a2109.jpg

Is this another Inoceramus, or something else?

And there's more. 

Pieces of Pierre shale with all sorts to be found and possibly removed with a lot of careful prepping.

20180202_002736-1-1.jpg.eb46f35db981709d9abdcc4c3b849a58.jpg

There's a tiny bit of Dentalium gracile in there for a start. 20180202_003155-1-2.jpg.dced28a3d1eb512099d86c8a95f396fd.jpg

20180202_003350-1.thumb.jpg.9340c899f326104cd574092590053de2.jpg

On this one you can see just a little of the green and gold colours shining through. 20180202_003407-1-1.jpg.c994348d81c4d26edeaa519860fe2cd4.jpg

20180202_003552-1-1.thumb.jpg.2a78e2a15614fa68200708aa7ed3eba4.jpg

And finally a really nice bit of Dentalium gracile. 

20180202_003505-1-2.jpg.1128506e0b392e810b63179454b3b7fa.jpg

So I have no idea who my Secret Santa was but maybe @fishguywould like to see these. 

Thanks so much Santa whoever you may be, these are delightful, quite exquisite, i am so happy! 

Life's Good!
