Frank Menser Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 (edited) As usual the wife and I included fossils in our gifts to each other. This year for me it was a partial Creodont skull (Hyaenodon cruentus) from the White River badlands of SD. For my wife, I added some Kitty dentistry. So, did anyone get some added creatures in their stocking? Edited December 25, 2010 by Frank Menser Be true to the reality you create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefootgirl Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) Here is a little of what I got for Christmas. The bronze looking things at the bottom are roman coins. I also got my very first crab! It was an awesome Christmas.

bruce Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Here is Oligocene Rudolph from the White River Formation in Wyoming, a descendent from the same family tree as the Wyoming jackalope.

Ramo Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Not exactly a fossil, but I did receive "Cruisin the Fossil Freeway" I'm only about 3 chapters in, but I would highly recommend it to anyone getting into fossils. Very easy to read and they explain a lot of geological processes in easy to understand ways. I also like the way they explain some of the stories behind some famous finds.

Auspex Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 These arrived Christmas week, but between the shopping rush, and now inventory, I haven't had time to even open the boxes.
