I think you made a mistake when counting my entries in the fourth round, I have 4 posts,( Cambrian, Jurassic, Oligocene, and Pliocene.) plus 11 would be 15 points, if I'm not mistaken.

Sorry, I didn't realise, I must have miscounted. I will go back to round 2 and count all of the scores again just to be sure I haven't done the same for any other scores.

Sorry about that. I think that is because in my previous post I had included all of the points, including those that had already been posted in round 4, which included your Cambrian and Jurassic fossils. I did go back to the start and it seems to add up to 13 again. Please let me know if anything else is wrong.

Yes, that was the mistake, you added two innings from the fourth round, to the third, the total is 13 points.

Ok, that's good.

In the future I will only add up the scores of the round.

Ok, ok, your calling has been heard

 

Traces of Antichnium, Permian, France

 

[FranzBernhard]

Nice attempt, @Kasia, but you did not make it - one hour and 12 minutes! Maybe next time .

 

Ol fossil rock, Dachstein coral (reefal) limestone, freshly broken surface. Phaceloid coral colony. Locally abundant, but corallites rarely preserved better than as white calcite spots. Matrix is usually grey, rarely patchy reddish-brown, more often towards the top of the formation, thats where this specimen comes from.

Canadoceras yokoyamai

Haslam Formation, Nanaimo, B.C., Canada

Upper Santonian, Upper Cretaceous

As a pachydiscid, these Canadoceras can get pretty large (there's an apparent impression of one that's over 1m diameter at a spot nearby), but this one stands out as being particularly massive for this site, especially considering that this is only the phragmocone!

Wow... Did you find all of these yourself?

Yep, they're all from the Nanaimo shale pits.
