LiamL Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Ichthyosaur jaw section from Lyme Regis. Some teeth are visible. It's a old piece from 1990 hence the pyrite growth. I found a little box that fits perfect 3 Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimravis Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Today I received this small Oligocene ( South Dakota) Rhino jaw in the mail. I was cruising on an internet site and saw this piece. I have always loved Oligocene mammals, but I did not buy this piece for me, I bought it so I can give it to my dentist. I have given my dentist multiple “teeth” related fossils that he shows to patients or to grammar school students that school talks on dental hygiene. Once I gave home Pleistocene lower horse jaw that showed signs of a huge abscess. He always mentions how much the kids like holding the fossils and seeing that they are not different from them. You will see why I picked this section for him. It shows roots, pulp cavity, nerve chamber and of course enamel. The last pic is to show him how a black light reveals that the teeth are real and the enamel glows bright orange. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are worried about pyrite disease you can treat it with ammonia vapors I think but it looks fine to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptychodus04 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 While not a fossil, this is a killer mailbox score sent to me from the super generous @Pagurus. There’s some really cool info in here. He mentioned that he had a pamphlet with instructions for observing the 1882 Venus transit but I missed that it was an original! Imagine my delight when I opened the package. 4 Regards, Kris Global Paleo Services, LLC https://globalpaleoservices.com http://instagram.com/globalpaleoservices http://instagram.com/kris.howe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Breakin' Rocks Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 My mailbox has been mostly silent since the holidays ... but I was able to pick up a few teeth from Colorado's Cretaceous period. I'm not a Cretaceous shark guy 'yet'. I tend to stick to my lane and keep my blinders on or I'll swerve off the road and crash. Metaphorically speaking. I was drawn to them by the color of course, my personal crusade to find colorful and crazy crinkled shark teeth continues. ID's to follow at some point.

Pagurus Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I'm glad the report found an appreciative home, Kris. A few years ago I would have thought 1882 was a really long time ago. The Fossil Forum has changed my perception of time. And even our oldest fossils represent just the tiniest blip in time compared to the age of the stars you track. Thank you for the fish verts and ammonite you sent too! My mailbox made a terrific score as well. Start the day with a smile and get it over with.

Wrangellian Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Hey, that Venus Transit pamphlet is not something you see every day! (I've never seen it before) But having seen the 2012 transit I would have snapped it up if the opportunity presented itself. Yeah, in 2012 I was thinking that the 105 (now <99) years until the next one seemed like a long time - it is longer than any of us will probably live - but how many transits have happened since, say, the last dinosaurs walked the earth, or even during the Holocene? Quite I few... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggycardon Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 A new month means new fossils! Ordered quite a lot of new stuff and these were the first to arrive! My first "zwerfsteen" fossil with the imprints of crinoïds found in Lathum, The Netherlands but it originates from Sauerland in Germany (400 million years old) These fossils are quite common in the Netherlands as they were transported with glacial movements during the Ice Age. A Parotodus benedeni tooth from Hoevenen in Belgium Very rare desert roses found in Roekeberg, Hessen in Germany 1 Interested in all things paleontology, geology, zoology, evolution, natural history and science!
