Nimravis Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Well with the current temp at -16 degrees F and the wind chill at -33 degrees F, I decided to look through some stuff and came across these beauties that I won in an auction on the Forum last year. This is the problem with having too much stuff, you forget what you have. Echinosphaerites aurantium Ordovician Oland, Sweeden Nummulites sp. Eocene Aisne, France Cereithyris intermedia & Burmirhynchia hopkinsi Bathonian Jurassic Luc Sur Mer, France 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Hi, Sorry Innocentx, but a Kansas toothpick for scale isn't useful for strangers to know the size of a fossil, and we are very many on the forum !

Coco Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 The size of the toothpick doesn't interest us, if you can give its size you can also measure the size of the fossil, no ? Gooooo !

Innocentx Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 @Nimravis. I Like your latest plates and agree with Adam about the Echinosphaerites. This is a new one to me. The crystallization is wow! 2 "Journey through a universe ablaze with changes" Phil Ochs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recker Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 In an effort to maintain my sanity in this nasty weather, I'm picking, poking and taking a stab at prepping these two pieces. Both were found here in Southeast Indiana along the Whitewater river. The horn coral is really cool, it's like a cornucopia lying on it's side with all kinds of small shells and bits spilling out. It looks like it has borings and "bite marks", wonder if those are what caused its demise? The other piece really has alot going on, anything interesting em that are identifiable? Thanks all, I'll get back to picking with my pin now LOL. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought hash plates represented many species, often fragmented and probably represent storm deposits. Mortality plates have multiple members of the same species and are well preserved such as you might find after an anoxic crisis or volcanic event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimravis Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 As I’ve stated before, I really love Hash Plates and the story them tell, here are a couple more Ordovician Plates from Southern Indiana. Clise ups 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimTexan Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I posted these elsewhere, but I’ll post them in this thread because they’re so fun to look at. Plus you all keep posting drab gray, tan and brown stuff. Mine have pizzazz, splash and color that kind of makes me want to dance and listen to Flamenco music. Ok I’m getting a little carried away there, but you get the idea. These are from the St. Joseph formation of Northwest Arkansas, Mississippian. I can’t tell you what a single one of them are, but I like them. The bryozoa are very 3D. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
