doushantuo Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 It is rumoured that a large lyttoniid is marauding the suburbs of Osaka. The terrorbratullids were,are and will continue to be,a nuisance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monica Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Happy National Fossil Day, everyone!!! I'll add a beautiful find I made this past summer - it's my first complete trilobite from Toronto, Ontario, Canada! It's a Flexicalymene granulosa from the Georgian Bay Formation which is Upper Ordovician in age. I'll post before-prepped-by-Malcolm and after-prepped-by-Malcolm photos - it's definitely one of my favourites. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 A few of mine that I found and prepped, just from 2019. In the mix: two Eldredegeops rana from PD, 1 dorsal median plate of placoderm from the Widder, a prone Flexicalymene croneisi from Bowmanville, and two Terataspsis grandis fragments (pydigium and hypostome). 10 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Too bad it isn't worldwide fossil day, but we can try to improve on that, right? I've been having a bit of luck lately at my shark tooth site, so here are 3 of my recent Miocene finds. Notorhynchus primigenius Symphyseal Lateral Delphinidae 7 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Jackson g Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Well due to the occasion of a day I geuss I know what I'm about to go do with my afternoon, Happy National Fossil Day! I'll share a gorgeous recently finished Phacopid trilobite. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 It's also World Food Day, but please do not eat your fossils. Despite fossils being very high in minerals, perhaps only a bad dentist looking for new business would recommend you bite into them. 3 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, and to be fair I only did 50% of the preparation (I was afraid to prep the eye lenses and burn them off). But I'm still very happy with it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Some of my favorite personal finds Notorhyncus cepedianus symphyseal tooth Carcharocles aksuaticus tooth Parietobalaena palmeri juvenile ear bone (which is soon to be cataloged in a museum) 5 “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
