@Nimravis Beautiful pattern in this wood , plant material has really been represented well in this thread. The Troodon teeth are really  interesting looking But my favourite of your specimens is the Crinoid  disk super cool. Thanks for keeping my thread ticking over much appreciated.

Here is a solitary rugose coral covered in beekite. Sorry for the lack of scale! It is 4cm long and about 2cm wide at the calice.

Beautiful piece and that is an great photo of the beekite , if you get the time  can you please photograph a few of the different parts of it. Interesting specimen.

 

cheers Bobby

I've been following this thread for a while and just realized that I can contribute something to it as well. A Cymaceras (Trochiskioceras) bidentosum ammonite. This is the microconch to the equally rare Cymaceras guembeli from the Early Kimmeridgian hypselocylum zone. It has a diameter of 10mm. and they don't get much bigger than this.

@Bobby Rico I was straightening out some stuff in my fossil room and saw these little pieces, so I thought I would take pics for you. I collected these from the Ordovician of Southern Indiana.

 

I believe that this first piece is Cincinnaticrinus pentagonus , if I am wrong, someone can correct please.

Wow that’s something you do see very often on a Spinosaurus tooth and  a crystal dendrite pattern on it. Thanks for adding to my thread.

No problem :ighappy: Hopefully I can find some more interesting macro shots to add! 

 

Yeah, it's a real beauty with all of that going on! The dendrites run down the entire crown on both sides, and it also has a naturally short mesial carina, to make it even more of an unusual tooth.

This is a interesting piece combining petrified wood , woodstone ( don’t of this is a correct term )and two  Promicroceras Ammonites from Lyme Regis, England. 
 

next is inspired by @Darktooth new additions to his display cabinet and also from @caldigger Bakersfield Matrix shark tooth with incredible mahogany colour.
