Bobby Rico Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 (edited) Hi all Sorry I have not been able to keep this thread going as late but I will try harder . I really think the Hadrosaurs were very cool dinosaurs and not just as a food source for the T.rex. So in celebration of the great beasts here is my Hadrosaurs stuff. Edmontosaurus annectens Metacarpal V found at the famous Hell Creek Formation... Late Cretaceous Period Montana. The missing one in photo that Frank supplied .

Maybe Tarquin can and some educational content to this post. @TqB please and thank you Bobby. It's a piece of the belemnite mass mortality bed in the Ovatum Band (Falciferum Zone) of the Lower Toarcian Whitby Mudstone Formation. The belemnites are Acrocoelites subtenuis (the more slender ones, which is most of them) and A. vulgaris (the fatter one at the bottom). 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you Tarquin much appreciated . I am glad I can add this info to the label now. I may have to find some shelve space instead of keeping it in a drawer.

Bobby Rico Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 (edited) Not a fossil but gold vain in quartz I found near Barmouth northwestern Wales . This is interesting all of the gold was deposited on our planet . It was formed during the explosions of stars and collisions of asteroids, and eventually found its way to earth over time.There are two main theories about how gold is originally formed, both involving stars. One involves the explosion of supernova stars and the resulting nuclear fusion creating atoms of gold, and the other, the collision of neutron stars that results in a gamma-ray burst, one of the most powerful explosions possible. pardon the pun but it blows the mind.

Bobby Rico Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 A fantastic Grallator footprint for Burniston bay Scarborough. Hard to photograph much nicer in reality. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Bobby Rico Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 (edited) Hi all , MrsR got me this years ago and is my top 5 favourite item in my collection. This grallator footprint was found in France. This really gets me when I considering it , the fleeting moment when a extinct bipedal animal shifted along the edge of a river bank. A footstep left unknowingly in now mudstone, which was laid down at the very beginning of the Jurassic period. A trace recording of a briefest moment in a dinosaurs life, just a split second in the mud but becomes millions of years in our planet’s past. This footprint over this vast amount of time has became hardened, fossilised and then identified and collected by “man” 200 million years after it was stamped into the wet mud.
