No,

Most of my Amber is in those mounts which makes then difficult to photograph with the microscope 

Yes I bet, I enjoyed photographing mine, especially the cricket? and the beetle.

I wish I could add more info but learning from a book is beyond my capabilities. I am visual learner and I hope thread does have some elements useful information

You all know my Hell Creek collection in a “Hell jar” just coined this term yesterday while talking to my mate. I made some fun Top Trumps Style graphics post about 4 years ago. These design was made because I felt very nostalgic about dinosaur after winning one of Troodon’s fantastic Grand Christmas Actions. Trumps came to mind, as a favourite childhood game. Thank for looking and I hope I get the time over the weekend add more.

This was a birthday present that MrsR gave to me. It is small about 20cms but I think it was a cracking present. You can see a few ellipsoid scales that are intact .

Hey Bobby, you have some really cool dinosaur fossils! I really like the Edmontosaurus bone.

 

For the location, is it possible it is meant to be Judith River, Montana? I had never heard of a Judas River in Montana before.

Something different today, not really part of the fossil record but part of my record as a fossil collector. This is my childhood badge from Birmingham city Museum. I just found it again after many years hidden in a suitcase. I think I had taken it to see Sue in the Windy City.
