RCFossils Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astron Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 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................ Astrinos P. Damianakis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranha Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) 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.
