A fossil sensation: First Hybrid between Odonata and Arachnida!
oilshale posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
A sensation: First fossil evidence of a hybrid of Odonata and Arachnida from the Middle Jurassic of Daohugou, Inner Mongolia. A talented artist has painted one pair of legs too much by mistake. Was unfortunately sold to a trusting collector. -
Hey everyone, I’m curious what the folks on the forum think of this brachiopod. When I was visiting Gerry Kloc last month we were talking about every topic under the sun and undescribed species were one. He made mention of a Hamilton group brachiopod that was in between a Mediospirifer and Spinocyrtia. As soon as he said that I thought...”hey I think I have one of those!” Anyway....it’s a brach I’ve had for a while that I literally had on display sitting between my Mediospirifers and Spinocyrtias cause it literally didn’t fit either but seemed to fall in between. I thought maybe I had a weird oversized Mediospirifer but I’m willing to hear the forums opinion. Perhaps there is some literature I’m unaware of. I can’t call this a Mediospirifer or a Spinocyrtia. Ill let you all decide lol. Also, Sorry ahead if time....I don’t have a picture with an official scale I thought I took one!!! I’ll update an extra photo later today with a scale bar. This shows a Mediospirifer on top...brach in question in the middle and Spinocyrtia on the bottom. the flipside showing all 3 specimens again. I tried showing my most exemplary Mediospirifer and Spinocyrtia to make the best comparison possible. More pics of the specimen alone from all angles to come!
