izak_ Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hello! Here is my addition to the Fossil Of The Month. It is a turtle skull. But... Maybe someone thought it was a big shell and cracked it open to see what was inside. Or maybe they didn't know what it was, or maybe it was an accident. We didn't do it, but boy was it a shame. Still pretty cool! Here is some Information: Collected: 4 of July 2015 Species: Notochelone Formation: Toolebuc Formation Found: Site 1, Richmond, Queensland, Australia (Very Specific) Picture: Good luck guys! And also everyone has entered some cool stuff Thanks, Izak Sorry for the last minute upload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I love Summer in America. So many finds get made "Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe" - Saint Augustine"Those who can not see past their own nose deserve our pity more than anything else."

Malcolmt Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Nice mottled coloration on the trilobites RM. I like when they are different than the jet black ones we find around Hamburg New York. Gives them a bit of character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raggedy Man Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Nice mottled coloration on the trilobites RM. I like when they are different than the jet black ones we find around Hamburg New York. Gives them a bit of character. That is the exact reason I didn't not use any abrasion and there is shale still on him. It is also the reason I didn't not prep the eyes. I want to, but I'm sure the process will also remove it's unique color. I'm still learning as well. Thanks! Best regards, Paul ...I'm back.
