Very nice and thanks for sharing. Those ammonites are very very nice. Wish I could read Japanese.

behind the trailer, my desert
Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt

Interesting enough it appears that the label on item 49 is incorrect :faint:

49 and 50 both say Mesopuzosia, but label at the top of 49 doesn't say that (in Japanese) whereas the label on 50 says "me so pu zo shi a". Wonder if I am missing something there.

bulls eye! you are right. Number 49 is a Menuites sanadai (メヌイテス サナダイ). They wrote the wrong scientific name.

Thanks for showing.. I'm always interested to see Japan's Upper Cretaceous to compare with our own here on Vancouver Island.

I've never seen a Canadoceras with such dense ribbing as C. multicostatum. Our C. yokoyamai (Japanese name!) is not so dense:

Thanks for sharing this! Really love the multi-Nipponites block :D 

I'd be curious to learn more about those elasmosaurid specimens, too!

Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

 

Q. Where do dinosaurs study?

A. At Khaan Academy!...

It is called nakagawa kubinagaryu. It is an elasmosaur found near nakagawa in hokkaido. I don't have further info about it right now. Sorry.

 

You can find more pictures on this blog.
