Frank Menser Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Just picked this up from Perner (the missing link monkey guy). This plate measures 17" x 14" ((Heavy)) and has three different species of Permian Amphibian on it, the largest measures 3.5". The pit closed in 1984 so this is a rare find.

Frank Menser Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 I do a fair amount of business with Perner as he has quality specimens in both mine and my wife's area of interest. Here's a couple of stars that she got also from closed German sites. Be true to the reality you create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Those are just beautiful..... Amazing detail too! Is that a bit of pyrite on them? Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenixflood Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 That is an amazing piece! One day I hope to add an amphibian to my collection The soul of a Fossil Hunter is one that is seeking, always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Menser Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 That is an amazing piece! One day I hope to add an amphibian to my collection I do have a couple of small amphibs from the same locality. Perhaps we can trade I don't think that is pyrite but rather a bit of bounce back from the flash on my camera. Be true to the reality you create.

Dicranurus Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Really nice amphibians. I have only one permian Apateon pedestris.

Sounds good to me PM me with want you are interested and what you think the pieces might be worth if I don't have what you're looking for I remember you were into fish, but that might have changed. I have St clair ferns, items from Clavert cliffs, Lee Creek, GMR, and some fossils from the closed westmoreland state park. The soul of a Fossil Hunter is one that is seeking, always.

PaleoPutz Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Awesome.. I love mortality plates (sounds a bit morbid ) I have a small single amphibian in my collection. I can't remember where it's from. I hope I didn't forget to write it down. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
