Shamalama Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Here I thought you had glued all the little broken bits and eroded grains back together! Very nice assortment of Pelecypods and Echies. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Plantguy Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hey tracer, nice little assorted grouping you got there. Are those some type of pelcypods/oysters at the bottom of the picture to the right of the penny? Do you every bring home any belemnites? They all from the same formation?

tracer Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 yes, no, yes. wait, what's a pelecypod? the goodland formation has a variety of variabilities in species, if not genuses (or is it genusii?). genera-lly speaking, i like the formation. in the texas cretaceous, you run across such a huge plethora of bivalvian critters, that sitting down and sorting out who they all were is daunting, if not ennui-producing. i haven't been able to talk myself into doing it, especially since i know that i possess both the fossils and the reference material, so if i procrastinate long enough the issue segues over to being tj's problem. i am not attracted to clams in the same manner as i am to oysters. ok, forget all the above. i took the photo a long time ago. i have a bad memory. (who said that?) so anyway, this is one of those topics that will never advance scientific science. i would be happy to find a coupla belemnites, and if i did, i'd do a coupla little fake cigar bands and put on them and put them in my collection, just to weird out anyone who saw them. better yet, if i lived where there were oodles of belemnites, i'd have zillions of little adhesive cigar bands made up and go putting them on belemnites and leaving them where i found them. wait, that sounds too much like work. i'd con tj into doing it, somehow.

Plantguy Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 i am not attracted to clams in the same manner as i am to oysters. Tracer, you made me smile with this one!!! thanks! Continuing in the vain of never advancing scientific science...If you ever do find any belemnites, be wary, I hear they were eons ago slimeyier (check spelling on that one)than them oyster dudes! Have a good evening. Thanks again for the chuckle! Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
