JamieLynn Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 A Fossil A Day....keeps the blues away! Or something like that... I started an Instragram account (jamielynnfossilquest) and am posting a fossil a day, so I figured I should do that on here, to REAL fossil enthusiasts! I'm a few days behind, so I will start out with a few more than one a day but then it will settle down to One Fossil (but I will admit, I'll probably miss a few days, but I'll double up or whatever.) I'll start with Texas Pennsylvanian era, but will branch out to other locations and time periods, so expect a little of everything! So enjoy A Fossil A Day! Texas Pennsylvanian Fossils: Nautiloid Agathiceras ciscoense Brachiopod Neochonetes acanthophorus Trilobite Ditomopyge sp. Gastropod Straparollus sp. Bivalve Astartella vera Cephalopod Brachycycloceras sp, Brachiopod Cleiothyridina orbicularis 1 21 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Very pretty. The Straparollus and the Agathiceras are gorgeous but my favourite is that incredible Neochonetes! 1 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilNerd Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Nice idea! Beautiful specimens. Can’t wait to see tomorrow’s fossil of the day.

I’m sure there are tons of posts with tittles that closely match. Your title just jogged my memory as Dave’s was a nice reprieve for me during the pandemic lockdown times.

Top Trilo Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 That's a real wonderful trilobite. You're right, the colors are fantastic. I like all the other fossils too, keep it up. “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor. It felt like home. It still does" -Mike (Pagurus) “The best deal I ever got was getting accepted as a member on The Fossil Forum. Not only got an invaluable pool of knowledge, but gained a loving family as well.” -Doren (caldigger) "it really is nice, to visit the oasis that is TFF" -Tim (fossildude19) "Life's Good! -Adam (Tidgy's Dad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
