snikt.biff Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 What ever you do ...DON"T SNEEZE!!! haha I know the feeling... My little baby Keichousaur. Oh my god... that is really really freakin neat... Fetal oreodon. ...wow... Embryonic Hyphalosaurus lingyuanensis. The dark staining above the leg is the yolk sac. I would flip a biscuit if I found something like that. I might literally have an accident in my pants. What a gem, you must be very proud! As for -my- babies... let's see... Ischyrhiza tooth, I think. (Sawfish) But look how pretty it is! Turtle shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenocidaris Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 The first photo is the second of a total of six molars a Mammuthus primigenius (mammoth) receives in each half jaw, Last Ice Age. This specimen is from the upper right jaw of an approx. 1.5-2 year old mammoth (individual age). It measures 5.5cm = 2.2inch. The second and third photos are from a dutch Carinastarte trigonata, Pliocene. The second photo shows an adult valve and a baby valve, the third one is a close-up of the baby valve. The baby valve measures 0.25cm = 0.1inch. Sincerely, Bram Fossils: a way of life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullsnake Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Couldn't decide where to post this, then this thread popped up. I picked up some pyritized trepospira last weekend to experiment with, and while examining one with the loupe I noticed a tiny blob stuck to the matrix. I popped it off with my fingernail and have spent waaaaay too much time trying to convince myself that it is what it looks like. Anyway, I think it might be a baby gastropod. I tried to clean it the best I could with toothpicks and alcohol. I really need to look at it and try to clean it a little more with a proper microscope. For an idea of scale, the first pic has the tip of a toothpick and the black mark is approximately 1mm from the tip. What do you think?

Wrangellian Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I have a trilo like that, Pagetia bootes, from Burgess shale. Scan isnt that great I guess, but body is only about 5mm long not incl. tail spine. I was going to post my baby ammonite (or maybe it's a foram), but I can't find it.

BobWill Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Growth series from baby to adult Volutifusus typus Conrad, 1866; Lower Pleistocene James City Formation, Lee Creek Mine, Beaufort County, North Carolina It's hard to tell from the picture, are there more whorls on the bigger ones? I have some similar gastropods that I thought were just smaller versions, either different species or sub species because they all had the same number of whorls, but I never thought about babies because I assumed there would be fewer turns on younger ones.

Auspex Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I just got this one. It is (part of) a very small bird from the Green River Fm. (Eocene); I have yet to determine whether it is a juvenile or an adult, but I suspect the latter, as everything is well formed and equally preserved. No idea yet as to its taxonomy, either (something to work on if I get snowed in ) "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

Tyrannoraptor Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Not sure if they belonged to baby sharks, but they're small, and at least one could deffinitely come from a juvenile. Anyway, these are the best 3 Isurus oxyrinchus hastalis teeth that I found on the 25th april near Lasko, Slovenia. They're small, the biggest is just under 2 cm in length, but they are excellently preserved, and since these are the first shark teeth I found by myself they are priceless to me. The same site had given a Meg tooth or two in the past, but they are extremely rare in Slovenia (maybe there were 10 Meg teeth in total found in the entire country or even less) so I'm not getting my hopes up too high. Sorry for bad photos, but I took the photos at night under a light so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
