Coco Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 From Gotland I didn't know, it is pure chance ; however I knew that brachiopods would please him, especially the big one for which I unfortunately have no information.

Monica Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Good news...my Secret Santa package arrived today!!! Woohoo!!! I'm going to wait until at least Christmas Eve before I open it up - until then, it'll be waiting patiently for me under our Christmas tree 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossilis Willis Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Santa stopped by and dropped off a package today. I figure if I exercise maximum restraint I can wait until after dinner to open it. I will probably post pictures tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossilis Willis Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Once again Santas credibility is called into question. Clearly this guy isn’t doing his due diligence on this whole naughty/nice business. For example some beautiful petrified wood pieces from the Dawson-Arkose Formation, Late Cretaceous from Arapaho County, CO 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossilis Willis Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Now if that weren’t enough, Santa went and outdid himself with some awesome Florissant Formation fossils as well. a pair of unidentified narrow leaves a nicely preserved Fogopsis leaf and a tiny Gyraulus florissantensis 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
