JarrodB Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I just realized Sara missed a second mosasaur vert under the top one. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarrodB Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Sara hit the North Sulphur River Texas today. She found mosasaur, pleisosaur, ammonite, turtle , pleistocene fossils and a cool old corked bottle. She will be shipped off to her new location tomorrow. She probably needs the rest after hunting with me lol. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Nice finds, Sara! She seems to be better at finding fossils than all the rest of us put together. Clearly, she's been having a whale of a time with you, Jarrod. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 During Sara's travel time I should post the fossil I selected as my gift. It was this lovely enrolled Flexicalymene retrorsa from the Arnheim Formation of Mt. Orab, Ohio, Late Ordovician. 1.8 cm at its widest point. I chose it because I love trios, becuase we have this genus but other species here in Morocco and because I have another specimen from the same location that only has the cephalon curled under the thorax. I need to prep it, but think it's lovely. Thanks, Sara.! 9 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misha Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hello everyone! Sara arrived here in CT yesterday, I was very excited for her arrival and she was too, although we did not do much yesterday as it was quite a busy day. Sara did help in overseeing the replacement of the water heater in our house, and is currently working on my 3d printer with me. Stay tuned for more updates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misha Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Today Sara and I had to stay at home as the weather was not great, She did get to explore my fossil collection though. Here the sneaky ceratopsian decided to hide among some of my Paleozoic invertebrates. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 She also met a very dangerous and fearsome predator, but was quite brave as she has apparently delt with similar ones during earlier parts of her journey. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misha Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Sara and I looked through these fragmentary Jurassic shales found here in Connecticut. They most are just concretions but sometimes you find ostracod plates and even rarer you can get small parts of fish and plants. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Hello friends, Sara has been enjoying her stay but I don't want to keep her here too long, The next person in line has not been on the forum for almost a month however, should I just reach out to the one after them? Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I'd PM the person first and if they don't respond in a day or two, move onto the next person. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
