PaleoNoel Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Hey everyone! Even though we are well into 2019 I thought I should share my top ten finds of the year. These will not be ranked as each one has their own value to me although some are rarer than others. Let me know if you want a better view of any of the fossils. 1.

The amber bits are my favorite personally Thanks, they were really cool to find. I believe there is a little bit of plant matter inclusion in them but I need a better microscope to determine if there's anything more. I love finding amber and I've found it two years in a row (my first piece was in the Judith river formation) 3 hours ago, Tidgy's Dad said: Splendid top ten. A good year. I like the leaf best.

Ludwigia Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Nice selection! I wouldn't want to rank them either since each one has its special attraction. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, and I agree that each have their own sentimental value to me i.e. the goblin shark which was the biggest shark tooth I've found to date in New Jersey and the Mosasaur was the first I had ever found. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
