I have been fortunate to see Scott's collection in person. He has a great eye for showy/rare fossils.

Welcome to the forum. i have enjoyed seeing some of your collection again.

Hope your move went smoothly.

I believe that if you were once happy before exposing your collection, now you are twice happy becouse many people have the pleasure of admiring it. Besides, every treasure is as more worthy as more eyes have seen it. Congratulations and for your high quality pics. Oh!!! Sorry. I must go. A psittacosaurus with some trilobites have just passed by my door and I have to prevent them................

Thanks Rob! everything in one piece - except me :wacko:

Can I take a moment for a gratuitous atta boy? In the mutual admiration department I had the good fortune

to behold the 'RCFossils Museum' in person and honestly Rob, if you would have adopted me I never would

have left the state or your room full of fossil magnificence :D

Here are a few interesting fossil seaweed specimens. They are from the Order Phaeophyta (brown algae/kelp)

These are found in associated depositions with fossilized pipefish from the Miocene Monterey Formation,

Santa Ynez Valley, CA. UCMP Berkeley has a good website and section on this topic.

Phaeophyta are very unusual and rare in the overall fossil record.

Julescraneia grandicornis

Paleocystophora acuminata

Paleocystophora plumosa

Indeterminate sp

RE: Parker, B.C. and E.Y. Dawson. 1965, Nova Hedwigia 10:273-295.

Non-calcareous marine algae from California marine deposits.
