cowsharks Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hi guys, i have prepping a new nodule from Resse/Germany.So i have working hard 60 - 70 hours on this heteromorphes.The aegos now holding with the calzitbridges. Thanks for looking Axel Amazing. That sure looks like delicate work. Don't know how you managed to prep that 3D specimen without breaking it.

Wrangellian Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 There are some beauties on this thread for sure but I cant see some of the pics in the earlier posts, is that because the older ones have been withdrawn or expired for some reason?

JohnJ Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Some pics were lost during reloading to the new server Maybe some of the active members could go back and re-attach their photos. I remember 'fossisle' had some amazing examples. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I have some in storage, bu this one was available today for photgraphing. I can't see all the pold posts on here, so I don'tknow if anyone has posted a baculite... the most common hetermorph, and possibly the most boring to most folks. But here is a really pretty piece of baculite from a ranch just south of where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But here is a really pretty piece of baculite from a ranch just south of where I live. Hey JPC, You didn't list a species which seems commonplace as most are not identified beyond genus level. The Baculites I have is identified as B.compressus likely based mostly on suture morphology I'm guessing? I've always thought very highly of them even though most are smallish bits and pieces and probably why folks find them 'boring'. Global Names Index has 200+ species listed and I'm sure there are others besides us that are not bored by these cool creatures. I would really enjoy seeing the rarer species. Can anyone elaborate on these further beyond the more commonly known types from North America? Thanks!

Wrangellian Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Sure Here are Glyptoxoceras subcompressum Eubostrychoceras elongatum Are you sure that's not a Hyphantoceras sp. (the 2nd one)? And I agree with Dan, I wish I had known of that outcrop when the new Hwy was going in... I'd be happy to have just one each of those - I have a couple close-to-complete Glyptoxoceras but ours down here are usually crushed flat! (there is less distortion up-Island). I'll post them as soon as I find them and take pix. I like the Baculites too, and wish I knew how to ID the species. There is a species here with nodes down each side that the VicPS guys are not sure of - could be a new species, I have a few of those too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Here are some from Mt Tzuhalem, Vancouver Island. I don't know what this one is, but I couldn't extract it at the time, it was in a huge boulder and if I started to chip at it it was going to disintegrate (the material is very frustrating that way..) Here is a Baculite. I got this one out but it's still in pieces (same problem as above but at least I got it out) I think I posted this one elsewhere, but it's interesting so here it is again. I thought it was Diplomoceras until I noticed the nodes. I hear it could be a Pseudoxybeloceras. When complete it's supposedly a big paperclip-shaped thing (like Diplomoceras), but I've never seen them complete. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baculites compressus 9" Pierre Shale - South Dakota Yeah, I generally don't ID the bac's to species. I have tried using Neal Larson et al.'s book on the Amm's of the Pierre Seaway, but find it is not easy. I wish it were. I've brought some amm's to the Man Himself, Bill Cobban in Denver for ID, but primarily, I have a friend who is a grad student in FL working on Cretaceous amm's. I ask him for ID's if I need to go to the species level. Most of my ID'ed fossils only go to genus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Impressive, Herve... especially the one shaped like a saxophone. I'd like to see some more photos, close up. You'll notice some of us from Vancouver Island showing interest - we have heteromorphs here too. Ours are Santonian/Campanian though. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
