Son brought me some fossil stuff

[RJB]

My son went on a canoe trip a few days ago and even though he took most of the fossils to his house he did drop some stuff off at my house.    I wish he was on this forum so he could tell you folks how he wrapped his cheap plastic canoe around a rock in the middle of the river!  Ha!!!  Quite the story I assure you!   Here is some stuff Im helping him out with but that kid sure has one heck of alot of Placenticeras ammo's!!!

Here is one of the prettiest ive seen.  Gunna take some work to save this one and has a super nice keel!!!

 

 

My son said I could have this one.  What a kid huh?  My hope was that the rest of this concretion was loaded with more ammo's?

 

 

This was the only one in the rock.  Very purty but not good enough for this guy. 

 

 

 

He also found some lobster concs which surprized him,, and me too!  Here is one Im putting back together that may turn out purty good?  I take a toothbrush and water to clean all the pieces up and then its just a matter of gluing the puzzle back together.   Not as easy as it sounds. I dont let even a grain of sand get in the way.  A grain of sand can cause a lot more trouble than one thinks!!!

 

 

Here ive glued on a piece to the main chunk and also two smaller pieces back together and then those will be glued on. 

 

 

And WAAALAAA,,,, all back together.  Now its just wait for glue cure and it will be ready to go.  This will be one of my winter projects.  This lobster will be Hoploparia or Paleonepherops?

Not good enough?!?!!? My friend you’ve done entirely too many fossils if that one isn’t good enough!  That’s an absolute beauty! It’s be one of my top shelf fossils if it was in my collection!

Ps. Your boy is spoiling you! Tell him great finds!

[Ludwigia]

I sure wish I had a son like that!

[FossilNerd]

What a good son to let his dad have some of the spoils! Although spoils is probably nor a good descriptor as they look like great pieces!

You might want your kids to grow up first.  They seem a bit young to be going out by themselves.   and when they do grow up you have to hope they are into rocks.   Good luck
