masonboro37 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 The closest thing to pink hue that I have: a chunk of dinosaur bone with some agatization: Bone (MedRare) 02.pngBone (MedRare) 03.pngBone (MedRare) 05.png Though, it doesn't look so pink and colorful if not wet. The pics were taken when it was wet. Hi AJ, that has the spectrum of many shades of pink! AWESOME! Thank you. I did not realize that dinosaur bone could agatize, I learn many new thing everyday on the forum. Process of identification "mistakes create wisdom".

Terry Dactyll Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Masonboro37....Glad you liked it... I noticed another couple.... An very pink Asteroceras double and a ' pinkish' Cenoceras nautilus from Lyme Regis.... Theres a story with the Asteroceras....Me and me late dad were in Charmouth trying to get to the Blackven landslip up and down the terraces and through the mud-slips whilst the tide was in to be early after high tide to be in with a chance of finding something fresh washed out...When we finally got there shattered and covered in mud there were a couple of collectors and a film crew who must of scaled down the cliff to access it which i didn't know you could at the time.... After an hour or so of finding very little as all the good stuff was all piled up against two rucksacks one of the guys said would you like a fossil and I said yes, that would be great... he took us over to his corner and there were little promiceras blocks and a damaged asty... He said would you like the asty... I got the bits to glue back on... I was expecting him to say a couple of proms I was gobsmacked really... He said I'll trim the rock down for you to carry it....and in doing so a second asty popped out into view... I saw this look on his face so I said... Look... I know what that is worth, I aint going to think anything bad of you if you want to keep it... I understand... Double astys especially big 7" ones are not common... He breathed out and said, nope... I said you can have it and you can... I believe he only collects MINT stuff and RARE stuff... probably the best collection in the country I been told but very few ever get to see any of it...So he broke the nodule down and I carried it off... I took it to Mike Marshall in Whitby and left it with him intwo pieces... When I picked it up i wasnt expecting pink.... all the astys I's seen were brown with cream middles...fabulous fossil anyhow and.... What a gift !...

siteseer Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Libby, Pink is an unusual color for a fossil. Sometimes, it comes from something that was red/reddish but the color got washed out. When Peru allowed the export of fossils back in the 90's, I saw some pink great whites from the Pisco Formation (Sacaco area). A few teeth were part pink/part blue. Jess I know kind of girly, I suppose. I am just curious how many fossils are out there which have a hue of pink......I have come across one echinoid which is pink/rose from the Rocky Point quarry, NC: Eocene. I can not find in my fossil room. It is somewhere tucked away. The ribbed oyster is the Belgrade Formation, NC: Late Oligocene. Libby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Libby- I have no pinks that I can think of, but if you are one of these people who has an xray machine at work... by all means take some fossil in and xray them.

FossilDAWG Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Here's some red (or dark pink) fossils from Red Rock Creek at Tanquary Fiord, Northern Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada. The site is Permian. This is the northernmost site I have in my collection; the red circle in the map image shows the approximate area. It's now in Quttinirpaaq National Park, but these fossils were collected in 1977, before the park was established (in 1988).
