My Secret Santa was none other than the respectable @JohnBrewer and his oddities and myriad of fossils was enjoyable. I spent a good amount of time going over each one along with the booklet on Souther England fossils which I very much enjoyed. Here's the lot: An assortment of fossils mainly from England along with a neat booklet on Southern England fossil sites. My first blastoid. Really excited to get this one. Top view of the blastoid. An assormtnet of fossils from the UK, Czech Republic, and Morocco. Some more UK fossils and a nice French ammonite. I can also say that's my first belemnite (bottom right). Gorgeous Harpoceras ammonite. Thank you so much @JohnBrewer Most welcome! 2 John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you @Monica for the incredible gift you sent for me and the grandchildren. We will definitely have a great time learning about the treasures you sent and where they were collected. The Livonia Woodsii are my first urchins from Australia! I especially appreciate the extra gift to help us with our prepping skills. Lol Golly, what an excellent package! A tremendous number and variety of different beasts from different ages and countries. Splendid. Good show, Monica. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

David in Japan Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hi guys, sorry for making you wait like that. Having a baby abroad is a little bit time consuming when you have to deal with french administration to register the birth. Here is some pictures of the awesome trilobite i received. My secret santa has been really generous sending me rare pieces. Thank you very much Pat Claus. I hope the picture will do honor to these splendid trilobite. I love the acontholanina pygidium.
