I am sorry it took me so long. Thanks for the nudges @fibrindsteel! A belated thank you to my Santa and a very merry christmas and new year to all. I got my first ever fossil Christmas card from santa too. I was spoilt as I received a lot of things all of them amazing. Theres a few I am looking forward to getting some magnification on at work too. I loved the 100 million year old sponge, really gets the mind going and the urchin? I have taken a close up of below, again it boggles the mind. Thank you very much again. Can you guess who it was? They live in an area that goes very well with my forum name!

fifbrindacier Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 (edited) Hi buddies, does someone have an idea about who is Kasia's Santa ?

fifbrindacier Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 (edited) Except for @PaleoNoeland @badeendall the goodies have reached their recipient. More pics will come soon. I have a private message for @Coco's Santa : she's strugggling with very french administrative issues. She will post photos as soon as she'll be able to, so, as say the song "Don't worry, be happy".

PaleoNoel Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Hi folks, I hope everyone is doing well. I apologize for the delay. I just started my senior spring semester and life has been quite busy lately, but before I left for school I received my secret Santa package and took some pics of its contents. A huge thank you to my Santa for some awesome specimens! First are several Otodus megalodon & angustidens teeth from South Carolina. A nice piece of jet from the Jurassic coast of the UK! A baggie of apatite from Canada. A pair of hybodont spines from the Early Cretaceous Vectis Formation of the Isle of Wight, UK. A pair of echinoids from the Lower Greensand if I recall correctly (may be from the Chalk Group) A sponge from the same formation. I thought this was really cool as I don’t have many sponge fossils in my collection. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemipristis Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I received a wonderful cornucopia of fossils from my Secret Santa! Unfortunately, I packed some of them into the collection already, but here are the fine specimens that I haven't yet packed. Starting at the top and proceeding clockwise: Several Pliocene shark teeth from Portugal, including an excellent Isurus. I don't have any shark teeth from Portugal, so this was a great surprise! Next are the several echinoids, Hemiaster sp. , Heterodiadema arribidense, and Hexaxxx (can't read the writing) planissima, also from Portugal. I don't have any Portuguese echinoids either! Lower right we have a fine Androgynoceras sp. ammonite from the Dorset coast of the UK. Lower left is a horse tooth from Florida. I believe, 3-toed! Thank you so much Santa! 6 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.' George Santayana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
