fossilsonwheels Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Not a mailbox score but rather a front door delivery We got our very large Diplodocus partial pubis today and it is pretty awesome. 23” x 10” x 4” and close to 30 lbs. It is really quite beautiful and has great texture. A great Morrison Sauropod piece and one the kids will absolutely love. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimravis Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I received this piece in the mail today, it is a large 9 1/2” partial humerus, possibly from the Cave Lion Panthera spelaea. This piece was dredged from the North Sea off of France. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilsonwheels Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 And now for something completely different, for us anyway. We have another program in Paradise coming up and it is a general fossil program so we got a Trilobite. We got this specifically for this program. It is an Austerops from the Lower Devonian of Morocco. A really nice fossil for the kids to touch. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t tell if there were bits of matrix left on it or if I was just looking at it wrong. I have 4 eyes and still can’t see sometimes! Lol Very nice acquisition.

caldigger Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Not a fossil, but related to the subject matter none the less. This evening I recieved a large envelope with a thank you note and picture of fossil hunting at Shark Tooth Hill from @FossilsAnonymous for some stuff I sent him a while back. Thank you for the note and picture!!! I also want to state that included was a note from Mom Anonymous as well. A big thank you Mom for instilling the common courtesy into your son to acknowledge receiving and thank someone for a gift. That is something we rarely see in today's youth. Kudos to your parenting skills! P.S. I so wish I could have x-ray vision to be able to see where the good fossils are like in the picture. That would be a superpower I can enjoy. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
