Bobby Rico Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Hash plates are among my favourite of fossils and they are fantastic to photograph. So please add some of your beautiful photographs of your stunning plates. Properly one of my favourite Hash Plate. I found it in a river in Wales Uk when I was 16 and camping . It reminds me of the The Nazca Lines , Nazca Desert, in southern Peru. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 Wow Hash plates do get some love. Thank you my good friends for you kind words @belemniten @ynot @The Amateur Paleontologist @Thecosmilia Trichitoma @Tidgy's Dad thanks Adam I remember finding that I was very proud. One of the only times I have been fossil hunting in Northampton, sorry Adam I must have wote Leicestershire by mistake. It is nice to see it again thank you very much. @Alexander D.G very nice plates indeed thank you for sharing @Herb that is a show stopper indeed, nice preparation on it too. @PaleoNoel very nice thank you @Quer beautiful and the colours are stunning. @The Amateur Paleontologist Very cool indeed thank you. @JohnBrewer John my freind the title of this thread is “hash plates show us yours” not send me yours but saying that I think your idea is a lot better. I will edit the title ASAP. Thanks John it will be very much appreciated. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
