Maybe because the photo is stored on your computer. Because I don’t see it either.

Hi Coco,

 

I don't have an explanation for that.  Can you see the description I wrote for the photo?  The Fossil Forum must have saved the post somehow or I wouldn't be able to see it.  I can see it even if I'm not signed in.  It's too late for me to make a change with that post.  Maybe I'll solve it if the Early Carboniferous comes up for me again and I'll do a double (one so everyone can see the last one and a new one).

You should be able to delete the existing image (or 'image') in edit, and then re-upload it. I've done so when I've accidentally had duplicate or wrong images in posts

I posted that a couple of days ago.  I can't edit it now.  It's best to just keep moving forward.

Yes Jess, I have read the text, only the photo wasn't visible. The link was broken.

Since no one gets Precambrian rolling, we'll start with this
Hongshiyanaspis yiliangensis from the early Cambrian. Yunnan-China.

 

 

[Pleuromya]

I still have some precambrian Stromatolites left to show, but unfortunately can't photograph them at the moment. 

[rocket]

so I show a lovely one, precambrian of South Africa

Yes,  I think if no one adds to the thread in a day or two, we can skip to the next time unit.  At some point, we might run out of Precambrian pieces.

I can add some more next runs, new thread for me, still have a lot to contribute to (early and ice-age and lot of others

Wow... What age? (Precambrian is a long time) Any specifics on formation/location?

Pongola-Supergroup, Transvaal. My last info was a dating at around 3 - 3.4 Billion years

I think that should be Chuniespoort Group (or Chunniespoort?)

I agree, checked the english papers and found the mistake .

sorry for the confusion I did and thanks for help!

We've been sitting in the Ordovician for about two days.  I'll get us rolling again with this:

 

Lepidocyclus capax

Late Ordovician

Liberty Formation

Brookville, Franklin County, Indiana

3/4 of an inch (20mm) across

 

[siteseer]

The Silurian seems to be a sticking point sometimes so here's a specimen to keep the ball rolling.

 

Unidentified brachiopod

Middle Silurian

Waldron Shale

Bartholomew County, Indiana

3/8 of an inch/10mm across

[siteseer]

Eldredgeia sp. (trilobite in nodule)

Devonian

Icla Lutita Superior (Upper Icla Shale)

Patacamaya, near La Paz, Bolivia

nodule is about 51mm long and the trilobite is a little shorter than that.

I'm reposting the cladodont shark tooth from the previous go-around as I've been told the photo isn't showing for at least two people.

First, thanks to the Mazon Creek collectors here on the Forum who identified this specimen for me as Lepidostrobus

 

It's a genus of extinct vascular plant that includes some primitive Devonian-Carboniferous forms.  Lepidostrobus had been a loosely-defined genus for a strobilis of a lycopod or a fruiting body of a Lepidodendron tree in particular.  A strobilis is a technical term for cone-like structure in lycopods to distinguish them from cones in conifers though they are still informally called cones. However, after further study, there is more support for Lepidostrobus as a valid name.

 

Lepidostrobus sp. 

Late Carboniferous

Carbondale Formation

Francis Creek Shale Member

Will County, Illinois

Thanks, Scott.  Corrected in original post.

I got it last week, and it's all I have from the Permian.
Annularia orientalis. Permian. Sanxi formation. Yuanquan--China.

I'm back online again, this time with a Hypocladiscites subtornatus from the Middle Triassic Carnian on the Millibrunnkogel in Upper Austria.
