Some Minnesota ~Fossils

Some Minnesota ~Fossils

A good friend of mine and I (my buddy almost full time) have started doing some amateur rock and bone hounding in Southern Minnesota. In our county, Pleistocene specimens are somewhat rare, and older epochs even rarer. River gravel bars are what we hunt mostly. Here are some of the finds from the last three years. Also are included a few local fossils found by others in the area over the last 100 years (see image descriptions)

Thanks! We just happen to live near some smaller rivers that cut through the ice age River Warren's gravel deposits along the Minnesota river. It takes lots of looking but ice age and older stuff is in the area. My friend has found some cretaceous leaf fossils also. I'll add them.

      Sorry for a little confusion. The fish is NOT Palaeoniscum, it is Paramblypterus... Better to do not too many things at the same time..., photographed and archieved lot of Permian Material from Harz (Kupferschiefer with Palaeoniscum) and Permian Material from Pfalz Region (with Paramblypterus)... So, due to this and because I've always been a bit absent-minded , things got mixed up...

      Interesting, it does look like it could be the same morphology. Too bad the enamel's gone.

      Yes, each photo will be treated as a separate entry in the album, as that is the way the software is configured.

      I meant like how when you go to make a new entry in Collections it provides a ton of fields for you to fill in but it also allows you to add multiple images of the same specimen to an entry so for example if i search "RWC1" it would show a single entry for the rock designated RWC1 like heref

      from the way it looks currently if i were to add additional images to the album each photo will be treated as a separate entry and id have to manually copy paste the specimen data for it to appear on both pictures

      If you mean if there is some kind of template here, then no, there isn't. You just type in all of the detailed info yourself. Simple as that.

      im experimenting atm. just trying to figure out how it works. Is there any way to add entries with detailed info like in the Collections? or adding several images of the same specimen with one overall entry? so the file structure is 
      >collection
        >specimen 1
          >description
           >photo 1
           >photo 2
      instead of
       
      >collection
         >image 1
            >specimen 1
                >description 1
         >image 2
            >specimen 1
               >description 2
       
      with two separate descriptions for specimen 1
       
      there is a description on the other photo of the specimen currently but it doesnt show up on this one
       
      I do want to add detailed info regarding taxonomic id, date, location, leg, etc but first off im trying to establish the structure so the process will be uniform without double entries
