Got this of the postman today, he does get around a bit. The last couple of weeks I have spotted some footcasts online been sold very cheaply.  Following in the wise footsteps of other TFF members I decided to buy one for the bargin price of £14

all-in. 

Juvenile Herbivorou's Dinosaur Footcast  from Wealden , Sussex. U.K. 

 

 

Nice and a good price if you're footing the bill!

Indeed! Or Jamie is banging out casts by the dozen

[Bobby Rico]

Sorry Adam I missed this one which is not like me. I never usually put a foot wrong when  replying to notifications.

The footcast is one of a pair . @Tidgy's Dad

This did not come in the mailbox today, but I did stop a dealer today and purchased this left lower jaw of the cave bear, Ursus spelaeus, from Romania. I did not really need it, but it did catch my fancy.

I wasn't aware your fancy was loose!

 

Nice piece.  We don't have any fossil shops to drop by around here. So I have to depend on drooling over the internet.

[Bobby Rico]

@Nimravis I know where you are coming from, I often stop of after work at the shops get some milk, bread and a cave bear jaw. Very nice specimen indeed .

That's very nice. 

We do have one or two shops that sell a few fossils in my city, but surprisingly few and not much of a selection, south is where the fossils live.

And everything's Moroccan of course.

I have to wait til I go to Spain to stock up on supplies where i visit a Saturday market that has a crystal and fossils guy with specimens from around the world.

Thanks John, I knew that I could count on you

Like caldigger said.  I drool on my keyboard while gazing at the internet.

Adam,

 

Glad that this little package made it to your house and that you liked what I sent, I was starting to wonder if it went into the "International Customs Blackhole". 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Essexella asherae

[Tidgy's Dad]

So very delighted with my Mazon Creek goodies

And if that weren't enough, the Upper Cambrian trilobite from Georgia, USA, Aphelaspis brachyphasis :

beautiful!
