I think she sent you some sparkly scat - lucky you!!! 

 

@Kasia - I just wanted to tag you to make sure that I'm not misleading Doren - it's pyritized poop, right?

Yes, that's Devonian pyrytised fish coprolite

I recently received a trilobite in the mailbox. A beautiful Eldredgeia Venustus with only one eye and the other one is stuck in the negative side(which also came with the Eldredgeia). Quite happy with it but there will be a lot more trilobites coming in the mailbox, so to be continued......

Well today I received the items from Poland that were offered up by FFM @Kasia and to think that I believed they arrived at my house foster that a package that I sent to @caldigger last week- gotta love our Postal Service here in the States. Now on to my fossils- here is a list that was put together when they were offered:

 

1. ammonites - Oxfordian, from Niegowonice and Ogrodzieniec

    5 small pieces 

    4 medium pieces

    2 large pieces 

 

Besides these fossils, she also threw in some brachiopods and gastropods. Thank you very much.

You need to rent a "scorage" unit!

No- I just keep rotating stock-LOL

So after looking at Nimravise's mailbox score with the extra shells that were included as an extra gift. I had to consider that Kasia sent extras in my latest score package.  I am not home and will not be for another week or two so I called and had my girlfriend open the packages.  And yes she included some extra shells in mine too. What a nice gift. The picture she sent me is not the best quality but the shells are great.    @Kasia Thank you so much.  You rock.

[caldigger]

Those are some big'uns!

[Bobby Rico]

@LiamL very nice and great too add to your collection. 

[oldtimer]

@Kane That is a very cool bug, frog, Kermit you have. The eyes on that Trilobite are very cool.  Some day I would like to add Trilobites with such appendices to my collection.

 

@LiamL Those teeth are huge.  I love Megs.

Well, if it is a small consolation, you are at least in a state where there are some amazing trilobites - some of which in the Haragan Formation are comparable species to those found in the Devonian deposits of Morocco!  Definitely on my collecting bucket list!

All glory to the great asaphid collective!  Mezhdu pervoy i vtoroy pereryvchik ne bolshoy! 

 

First up is an enrolled Asaphus cornutus, or known by his friends as Russian Kermit:

 

 

And next up is a large and lovely prone Asaphus punctatus, or known among his friends as Mr. Asaphus punctatus.  

 

 

They are fairly substantial in size, and a lot bigger in hand than I imagined them to be. I've a long way to completing the Russian asaphid family tree, but this is a good start.  

Lovely trilobites again @Kane you must have an incredible trilobite collection. 

[Kane]

@Bobby Rico: Thank you!  It's starting to come together quite nicely... A split between wielding the hammer and wielding the credit card.

Hardly, I'm not wealthy or fit enough to do much these days, and have had to sell so much stuff in the past when times were hard. 

But I've still got some lovely things, as have you, my friend!

Yep, I'm lucky there for sure. 

And I'm not moaning, i still have some very beautiful things. 

I am so looking forward to posting "Adam's Devonian" for example.

Well, I cut a slice.  Wow, that's hard stuff. Took a half hour to cut through it.  Here's the slice wet.
