Hitchhikers

[Roz]

I picked this up in 2007 in a Pennsylvanian fossil site.

I was going through my fossils and just noticed the hitchhiker.

Nice surprise for me...

Please feel free to add your hitchhikers..

It is an ammonite and I liked the colors is why I picked it up.

Once upon a time in the Pawpaw fm I found a cool little pyritized Mortoniceras on a blob of matrix. Once I microblasted the specimen at home, I saw that the matrix was actually a complete Xanthosia crab carapace with lightning bolts of pyrite across the top - pretty groovy and one of my favorite Kpp specimens to date.

Things don't get any better than that...
