A friend's contributions

[rocket]

Sometimes life takes a different path.

 

A collector friend gave me a few fossils to prepare and identify. It was interesting material. After preparing we thought about writing an article about it. And to donate the material in a collection.

 

My friend died at the beginning of the work. We finished the work and published it in his memory.

The material will go into a public collection, but it is still to be decided which one. 

 

So, it is not my material what will be donated. I post the story with the paper because I think it is a good story how it should work.

The collector, Peter Silberhorn, was not a member of TFF or other social media foren.

He was 78 when he died and "did not really like the internet". 

 

Paper was published a day ago, I add it.

Fossils are a nice Trigonia-shell, a burial aisle of a digging crab Protocalianassa and a rib from a ?Mosasaur.

The burial and the rib are new for the site
