Somewhere In the Yorkshire Dales/ Pennie Way a partially silicified .Actinocyathus floriformis - the large, bubbly dissepiments combined with cerioid structure are distinctive. I think it is pretty nice I’ve been away for a few days and really missed a lot of good stuff! Believe it or not, this is my favorite so far Bobby. Love seeing the inside structures of coral and those bubbly dissepiments are lovely. 1 The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't. -Bill Nye (The Science Guy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Trilo Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Nice fossil Bobby! I really like the trilobites, but am also really enjoying your latest batch of fossils. 2 hours ago, Bobby Rico said: Now Quiz time what is this polished chunk of rock? From S. Provence France. Some of these cross sections look a lot like the profile picture of @FranzBernhard which I think makes it a rudist? 3 “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.

FranzBernhard Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 @Bobby Rico, do you know the name of these rudists? They are quite similar to that one from Gams near Hieflau: Gams near Hieflau (pdf, external site) See page 8 and 9. Don´t know if the name is really correct, they have gone through several renamings (see page 4)... Franz Bernhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) This week is all about echinoderms . Some of the posts will be in anaglyph 3D . So get digging in the messy drawer for them red and cyan funky glasses and enjoy. first up is an image to set the scene. A vintage 1953 prehistoric sea first published in life magazine. British Chalk fossil echinoderm - Phymosoma koenigi. This is a classic chalk fossil found in the Upper Chalk Group of Kent and dates back 87 million years! There also a another echinoderm fossil next to the Phymosoma but that's not been enough details to be able to ID. Ralph I think you may enjoy this week’s offerings @Nimravis Edited February 13, 2022 by Bobby Rico 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
