RJB Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 Yes, that tooth is from chile. The only reason I bought it is because it was still in some matrix.

RJB Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 Its a good thing I lost a couple hundred photos way back when, when my computer got infected and I lots everything, otherwise I could bore you folks with photos for days and days, but here are some more,,,,, just because.....

Northern Sharks Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Great pics. I believe the saw-shark rostral in the first set is Dalpiazia stromeri. The later one posted is Onchopristis numidus. I'm guessing both are Moroccan???? There's no limit to what you can accomplish when you're supposed to be doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 All this time I thought "clam balls" were hors doerves! Also, is that a crinoid garden or a wildflower meadow? Great Googly Moogly man!

Megaselachus13 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Very beautiful pieces, Usually be bored is not a good thing, but your case looks like a commendable exception. Particularly I liked the image of the showcase of crabs. Maybe in another moment of boredom could put more detailed images of crabs and hoploparias and macrurans of the area below ... if you're so kind. Greetings and sorry my bad english.

Guest bmorefossil Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 wow you got sitting outside, your collection must be huge!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 You should have seen his collection when it was still in california. I visited RB only a month or two before he moved; entire garage filled, Scotia nodules ringing the front yard along the street, and everywhere in the back yard, and thats not even including the infamous 'beating' shed.

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Got to spill the beans... what is the "beating Shed"? And great postings of your collection. I look forward to more "just becauses". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back on the California Fossil Forum, I would threaten to take folks behind the shed/barn for a beaten, but in a fun way. I was not being serious, just kidding around.
