You should have jumped on these!  

I mean seriously, how often do trilobite identical twins ever come up for sale?

Well I took off, but did get the Permian trackways for $30.00, there some others on the reverse side, I also picked up a 45 year old Mantle clock for $10.00. I should not have bid on the Echinoids, but that is what happens when I get bored.

 

 

Well, that is a bargain for those tracks, they're super!  

[Nimravis]

Yes - with a crack in the middle.

Yes- and I just brought the echinoids into the house and just peeked at them, probably study grade quality, will have to go through them at a later date, but my guess of 600 is way too short-  I am revising that to 1500.

You now have the largest echinoid collection of anyone on TFF!

I got bored and just bought these 3 boxes of echinoids and brachiopods for $50.00, there must be over 600 pieces- anyone have an  idea of possible location?

 

Whoa! Nice.

Like it D.!

[KimTexan]

That must have been a pretty heavy box.

 

Hum, I’m thinking you could do some cool fossil art piece with that many echinoids.

You can fill in the rest of the space and create a mound with Mazon Creek nodules.

Hopefully I will be done cracking them open and dispose of the garbage before I would need those- lol.

That's a lot of echinoids!

I have only looked at a couple of them out of the 3 boxes, also found a couple brachiopods. When I have time, I might search through it and see what I have. They are not all complete and I think many would need some prep, something that I will not be doing. I will look to see which ones are in good shape.

You need to just roll up your sleeves and prep out each and every one of those echies.  The world depends on it!

Any idea what made these trackways? Very nice (and heavy) buy!

I believe they call these Chelichnus tetrapod trackways. 

 

I cut the slab slab down to this.

 

[Marlowe]

you could probably sell those echinoids on

I'm pretty sure they're in your house.

Maybe you could put some lots (a mix of things) up for auction for the forum.  I would be interested in bidding on a lot if they mostly just needed some prep but were otherwise pretty much complete.
