Sinopaleus Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Henry.... There's some very nice specimens there including your 2 cones....The way the material has preserved and the very dark colour of the sediment reminds me of a layer that produced fish remains over here... Do you see any bivalves or the like in the matrix?.... hi steve! thanks! nah, unfortunately no fish have been reported to be found. all there are are insect tracks (i think i found one but i left it there by accident!!! no!!!!!), amphib tracks, plants and occasionally insects themselves! this was more like a deep-forest swamp than a coastal swamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinopaleus Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hey Henry, Just finished perusing your collection.. some nice stuff in there. What a lot of work photoing it and posting! BTW you could eliminate some of the typing and just put, for example: Dinosaur egg: Dendroolithus guoqingsiensis Cretaceous Xixia basin, Henan province, China ..and put something in for scale so we can see the size. But I guess that creates more work having to place the ruler or what-have-you ... I often forget to put something in for scale but it's a good idea! Your posts have inspired me to post some of my collection for show, but it might have to wait, I know how much work will be involved.... Anyway, keep it up. Cheers. Eric hi eric! thanks! yep, the rulers in my house are all dead.... however i did get a new one and was planning to use it. i do have scale references for size comparison but i was hoping to post them later when everything is chill anyways, thanks for the tip eric!
