Yasei Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Hey, I got a Little fossil kit on Christmas, and I was wondering if all of these are real? And if so, what are the fossils on the top row? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yasei Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 Thanks! 1-4 are the ones I'm mainly confused on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepTimeIsotopes Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Do you want to take pictures of 1-4 up close separately and post them so we can get a better view of each?

Ludwigia Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 It certainly would help if you would make close ups of all 4 of them, but from a distance, they all look like minerals or stones Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Yasei Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 I'm pretty sure number 5 is a mosasaur tooth of some type, I'm coming up with pictures of 1-4 in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yasei Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 I think number 4 may be petrified wood? I looks similar to an other specimen I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepTimeIsotopes Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Would you take some more pictures of 3 and 4 individually with a good amount of light? To be able to tell what minerals they are (if they are minerals that is) we’ll need to be able to see the texture and crystal habit.

caldigger Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Does this kit not come with a list of what is in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasei Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 It comes with a list, it's just not really a helpful list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
