Not yet Blake but the UK postal system can be hit and miss. I've just sent a text to my mother in law asking if it has arrived at her address.

JohnBrewer Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 @FossilDudeCO Blake, I picked the parcel up today. Got caught in customs even though no duty needs to be paid on anything over 100 years old. A great collection: 2 John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Violet loved the Amozonite and has grabbed that one for herself. My favourite is the coprolite top left of first images, it looks sooo coprolity. Sticks to the tongue too Oh, and thanks for the goldfish bowl gravel. Looking forward to digging through that with Violet next weekend. 2 John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimravis Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Well I arrived home from spending the weekend at the Illinois State Fair and I had a package from @caldigger waiting for me. Doren again out did himself with the items that he included in his blind trade and I always feel that I have not included enough items in trades I have done with him. Here are the items that he sent, all very cool and many first's for my collection. Thanks again Doren. 1. Dendraster ashelyi echinoids- Pliocene of California. 2. Bi-Valve on matrix from the Pliocene of California. 3. Porpites porpita (Anthozoa) from Sweeden. 4. Cleoniceras besairei Ammonite from the Cretaceous of Madagascar. 5. Stone Opal- Coober Redy, South Australia. 6. Fossil Seed Cone from the Eocene of Morocco. 7. Rooted fish teeth from the Miocene Round Mountain silt of California. Doren stated that these are the only ones that he has ever found. 8. Schizorhiza stermeri (Saw Tooth Fish Tooth) Upper Cretaceous of Morocco. 9. Sand Tiger Tooth from the Eocene of Belgium. 10. Polished Goniatite from the Upper Devonian of Morocco- Doren also included a very nice stand. 11. Annixa galliheri (Pea Crab) from the Upper Miocene Monterey shale of California. 12. Theropod Indt. tooth from the Cretaceous of Morocco. 13. A very nice gold nugget that Doren self-collected this year. 14. Conularia (Scyphozoan) from the Devonian of Bolivia. 15. A very nice piece of Californian drift wood that was self-collected from Doren and is from his personal display case. 14. Conularia (Scyphozoan) from the Devonian of Bolivia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try to take photos of your sendings when I get back home again. I have 2, I have a 1" cube that I received from @aerogrower and a 2cm one that I had purchased. I really like using them, it looks nicer than what I used before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Soda cans are being made in so many different sizes nowadays, so I feel I can't successfully use them for scale anymore. Just waiting to win aerogrower's contest so I can have a rightful size reference. Come on number six! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like I will put 4-5 descent!!! ( no junk ) fossils into a box and ship it to you. You do the same in return. Neither of us will now what the other is sending. It will be like a grab bag surprise gift exchange. Does this sound like fun or what?! That sounds nice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-fossils Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 @caldigger Hey Doren, In the package that you sent to Nimravis, which is really nice btw, you sent a shark tooth from the Eocene of Belgium (it looks like a Striatolamnia macrota). Do you remember from what location it comes from? Max Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

Balegem, that's exactly what I thought. I have a few teeth from there which look very similar. That location has sadly been closed since many years... Wonder how Doren might have obtained them.
