Another Graptolite 

 

 

[Yoda]

I have been after this book ever since @MarcoSr posted some photos of contents from his copy 

It was quite expensive and as it was coming from Spain, postage high 

 

But…. Stromatolites are a big part of my collection. So I had to get myself a copy 

 

 

[Yoda]

Stromatolite  from a while ago

This Gary Green Jasper / Bog Oak slab arrived for me this week 

One side polished. One not.

Very nice.. I still haven't scored a piece of Bitter Springs yet. Did you get it for a decent price?

Don't think it was too expensive 

But I have taken the view, that some of these Stroms don't come up very often, so I grab them when I can

Quite right.. but I see a similar one that's a little outside of my comfort zone and it's been listed for a while, so I keep hoping it'll come down or a cheaper one will appear. Then, I will strike!

You got a great library and going by plant fossils you like from Wigan, this book could be very handy.

Nice start to the year my friend . 

[Yoda]

I’d forgotten to post this one. 
One of my last additions from last year. 
 

I like Belemnites. But they do tend to look a bit samey

These teeth arrived for me today 

The Astracanthus tooth is a nice size - 3cm 

 

 

[Yoda]

I got a job lot on these Gryphaea 

 

The one has worm tubes. Are these modern ?

Should I remove them ? 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Yes, they look modern to me and I have found Gryphaea with modern serpulid worm tubes attached at Lyme Regis.

These are from Whitby 

 

So I guess I should remove them ?

That's up to you.

I had a shed load of the things and didn't bother.
