Then post a new one! Seeing that santa just conquered Asia with his loads of fossils, I feel like either my sender is intentionally making it deliver by Christmas, or, the customs grinch is at it, or he/she is being cheap on me (Does that even happen?) 2 If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

It's still early in the month though and patience is one of my better vertues.

Hey @Haravex, Glad to see Santa was successful at getting your gift to the post office anyway. Wink Wink. Let me know what happened as the same thing transpired last year with Santa sending to the United Kingdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnbuckeye Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Santa's package arrived a few days ago but as a result of internet issues, I was not able to post until today. It was thrilling to go through all of the specimens gifted to me. I can truly say I had nothing like these in my collection and never would have without Santa. Now I can admire this collection from across the world and dream of the mystical lands they came from. Thanks again Santa First off is a coral, Spongophyllum kunthi from Devon, England My favorite is the Libyan desert glass, a result of a meteorite impact 25 million years ago. Also pictured are Moroccan sharks teeth, Otodus obliquus and Striatolamia. Gastropods and bivalve are from the western Saharah, Bristol England fish teeth, Hybodont sharktooth, and teeth from Severnicthyesacuminatis, Icthiosaurbone pieces, and 2 brachiopods, Calchrynchia calcarea from Dorset, UK A piece of Whitby Jet (Araucariaceae) used to make jewelry in the Victorian times. Copal from Madagascar containing 2 tiny insects. Promicroceras planiscosta ammonite from Dorset England. Echinoderm spines from Asterocidaris biostriata, Morocco. Neohibolites minimus is a belemnite from Kent Multiple Geisenoceras nautiloids from Morocco 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I one had a package sent to me from the USA which lasted for WEEKS to arrive. Then I finally got a letter from the Dutch customs that the package was sent back to the USA "due to unreadable adress" which was kinda odd as those geniusses managed to send me a letter to my adress stating they couldnt read the adress on the package.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
