fossilized6s Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Very nice one! It even looks like chert. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Did you find it while on a fossil foray? Yes, I was checking out a cut I had never stopped at before after a very heavy rain (it has been raining a lot here lately) and there it was on the ground. The sun hit the chert just right and it glinted, so I picked it up liking anything that sparkles. It was not perfect like you see in pictures, so I wasn't sure as maybe it was just a rock that looked very similar to an arrowhead - I have found many of those, but there are no flaking marks or they are so water worn you just can't tell. I'm guessing I have walked over lots of N.A. artifacts without recognizing them - kind of like walking over cephs for 4 months because I just didn't recognize them. Because of all the creeks and chert, Fillmore County was a destination for many N.A. tribes from the plains. The more I learn, I realize the less I know.

PFOOLEY Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Did you find it while on a fossil foray? Yup, I found a Native American spear point. Great find Bev!

Koss1959 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Nice. Was that species specific or just a belemnite with predation marks? Etsy shop for Dinosaur Art: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/IzzyBeeCreates?ref=seller-platform-mcnav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZ_Fossil_Collecta Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 1: go to the dominican republic, paying one of the miners to give me a tour into the mine, buy amber from the miners at the mine itself 2: go to somewhere along the baltic coast to collect amber (and of course i would go in the winter as storms=more amber washed up) 3: get ahold of some japanese amber 4: get some nice botanicals in dominican amber ok i crossed of number 4 (doesn't stop me wanting more though) I'm CRAZY about amber fossils and just as CRAZY in general.

Koss1959 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Sorry, I think you misunderstood. I meant, was your aim to find Cylindroteuthis with predation marks or was it to find any species of belemnite with predation marks?

fossilized6s Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 I got to cross off some bucket list stuff tonight! Rob Russell and i went to Mazon Pit 11 and i found my first Shrimp....well half, but it's a good lookin' half. I also found some worms (five to be exact). I'll post pics tomorrow, im beat. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megabass22 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I can cross off "something reptilian to fill up empty space in my display cabinet"! I recently ordered a Plesiosaur tooth and a Pterosaur tooth. When i get them all in place i´ll post some new pictures of my display cabinet Though there is even more empty space now, since i had to rearrange (i gave the trilobites their own shelf and made the total shelf count 4) But it´ll fill up in time.

Charlie - I crossed off a crustacean (a shrimp - Belotelson magister) and a soft bodied critter (Essexella Asherae) at the same time when we were there, too.... for the most part, I only collect what I find myself, so my bar is pretty limited to where I can travel to and get access to. With that in mind, any sort of dinosaur or marine reptile vertebrae, and proboscian teeth (preferably mammoth molar), sits high on the list as we get ready for a trip to eastern Montana next week.

Yeah, I've recently put all of my purchased fossils by themselves in my display case. It just feels dirty to intermingle the two. Im not a fan of buying fossils, unless it's a fossil i can prep or micro matrix. We're heading back down to Mazon this weekend again. Feel free to PM me if you would like details. 1 ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUAN EMMANUEL Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Ok, so for me, I would want: -fossils from the late Ordovician lagerstatten in Manitoba, from the sites of Cat Head, Airport Cove, and William Lake. Ordovician lagerstatten isn't that common compared to Cambrian ones. -more good brachiopod specimens and pelycopods from where I am. The first one I listed is definitely a must. I definitely wanna get my hands on some of the interesting fossils that can be found there, like eurypterid parts, some soft bodied organisms, a horseshoe crab....

fossilized6s Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Has anyone been lucky enough to cross off anything lately? I found my Mazon fish and Millipede.

DE&i Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yep sure did…..Just received my signed copy of Dinosaurs of The British Isles from my friend and co-author Dean R. Lomax. He has kindly put my name in the acknowledgement’s section and a picture of a waterworn natural cast of a track, probably created by a tetrapod / ornithopods, which I found on the foreshore at Saltwick Bay, near Whitby, North Yorkshire ( its on on page 138) . So that’s: My claim to fame mention in a dinosaur book crossed of my bucket list... Regards, Darren.

Complete/near-complete insect from the lower permian of Oklahoma 5. Well-preserved insect wing from the lower permian of Oklahoma. 5. Another new fossil locality (maybe this weekend!). 6. Hunt the Kansas chalk someday, as it is one state above... 7. New species of insect from the lower permian of Oklahoma (quite likely). 8. Another, more complete machaeridian armored worm from BCM. 9. Look for fossils in another country. 10. Decent meg tooth WITH serrations to 'replace' the weathered one I have currently for educational purposes. 11. Find where fossils of labyrinthodonts and lungfish can be found in Oklahoma (exact location) and find some of their fossils. That about covers it for now!
