Fossildude19 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Wow! These are amazing! It must feel great knowing that you contributed to furthering the knowledge of these arthropods! Kudos to you, sir, for donating them to the museum. If you create a post in this topic, using the stated format, I will hook you up with the Partners in Paleontology badge! 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

mcgcsp Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Thanks everyone, its is a fantastic hobby, almost an addiction (I may need an intervention eventually), but a good one. This ended up being a 4 year project to publication and I am just a NOOB. I have donated an additional 20 or so "crappy" (but darn good enough for scientific purposes) specimens to Kent State, and have a dozen nice ones in my personal collection (since collected after Smithsonian donation including 2 in the last month), but I spend many many hours and miles in the creeks (fell in twice in past week) of NE Ohio. My Phyllocarid collection keeps getting bigger too... 3 Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
