Top Trilo Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 If you want something ID'd you should create your own topic in the Fossil ID section and you should always include better photos, locality, and some sort of scale! I think I can see four vertical bands so it could be something like a trilobite, cephalopod, crinoid, even gastropod how about, Is it a trilobite? 1 “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor. It felt like home. It still does" -Mike (Pagurus) “The best deal I ever got was getting accepted as a member on The Fossil Forum. Not only got an invaluable pool of knowledge, but gained a loving family as well.” -Doren (caldigger) "it really is nice, to visit the oasis that is TFF" -Tim (fossildude19) "Life's Good! -Adam (Tidgy's Dad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FF7_Yuffie Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 My package arrived the other day. Very excited to see what's inside. And so is my rabbit for some reason. She keeps sniffing curiously around it! Maybe its a fossil of one of her ancestors! I am glad to have something to unwrap, I don't get enough presents now I'm an adult!

badeend Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Hi. I got one of my packages yesterday too. As it is Sinterklaas in the Netherlands I unpacked it! Thanks Sinterkaas! There is a beautiful piece of fossil wood in it but it has no location. Does anyone recognize its origin?

snolly50 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Lots of stuff to do. I remembered a promise to be a Santa. Stopped to sift through scads of fossils. What would the giftee like? In my rummage, I found a battered box that bore Doren's return address. I stopped for a moment and just sat for brief while. It's good to be still. Picks made, I stuffed them in a small shipping carton; enjoying the engineering challenge of packing dynamics. I sealed that box and printed the address. I found myself wondering what the recipient, a "stranger" to me, is like. I drove to the Post Office, where the Postal Gnome was actually cheerful during this seasonal rush. Emerging from the postal manse, I was surprised by a sudden lump of Joy that had arisen in me. 3 1 Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
