Yes, but I am sulking and feeling silly.

 

And wifey's out with her camera phone. 

[Kasia]

OK, the forgotten Triassic fossil - a piece of dinosaur bone from Poland.

[Tidgy's Dad]

So now I'll post :

 

Lower Lias, Blue Lias, Lepidophyllia (Heterastraea) tomesi from Kilve, North Somerset, England.

Info added. 

I just wanted to post the first picture before someone else leapt in like a salmon into the spawning pool.

This is a spider in Cretaceous Burmese Amber. It looks like a moult, but I'm not sure. There's also a few small bits of plant material in it.

nice insect, no name for the moment, Oligocene, Cereste, France.

 

[siteseer]

I almost had enough time to cover the Oligocene.  I'll try to catch it on the next pass.

[Pleuromya]

This is a tooth from Sphyraena barracuda from the Miocene Yorktown formation of Lee Creek Mine, Aurora, North Carolina. This is an extant species, the Great Barracuda.

No Ediacaran stuff for such a long time? I ran out of them, too, but I do have something pre-Cambrian from Poland: a slab with ichnofossils

I’m not familiar with this material? Do you have any more information on this?

Panlongia tetranudosa Phylum Arthropoda, Family Helmetidae Geological Time: Early Cambrian (~525 million years ago) Size: 9 mm long Fossil Site: Chengjiang Maotianshan Shale, Guanshan Fauna, Lower most part of Wulongqing Formation, Caijiachong Valley, Yieyatoung, Gangtoucun Village, Xiamacun Town, Kunming City, Yunnan This unusual arthropod is known as Panlongia tetranudosa. The genus was described in mid- 2006, and comes from what has been termed the “Guanshan Fauna”, found in the Wulongqing Formation. The Guanshan Fauna shares many genera with the slightly older Chengjiang Biota, but differs at the species level. With the discovery of the Chengjiang Biota in 1984 a window on the Cambrain Explosion in China was opened. The diversity of soft-tissue fossils is astonishing: algae, medusiforms, sponges, priapulids, annelid like worms, echinoderms, arthropods (including trilobites).t.jpghemichordates, chordates, and the first agnathan fish make up just a small fraction of the total. Numerous problematic forms areknown as well, some of which may have represented failed attempts at diversity that did not persist to the present day. The taxon some resemblance to the younger Burgess Shale genus Hemetia, which has led some to place them in the Helmetidae along with several other similar arthropods, such as Kuamaia and Rhombicalvaria. The body shape suggests that these helmetids were benthic animals which were possibly carnivorous. There are two species described to date: Panlongia tertranodusa and Panlongia spinosa. The fauna has only been studied for some 6 years, so more unusual taxa are almost certainly awaiting discovery. Also see: Chengjiang Biota
