RCFossils Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 The holoptychius plate was collected in 2004 from a road cut in central Pennsylvannia. I have found several other partials at the same site but none as complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleecan Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 The seller of both items is apparently is not a fossil collector as they have this disclaimer: We have other items listed, so take advantage of our shipping discount for multiple purchases. Most of our items are sold as collectibles. We find them at Central Florida antique shows, auctions and estate sales. Antique or vintage items may, by nature have flaws and imperfections due to age. While we are not experts on this merchandise, we do our best to describe them as accurately as possible through pictures and descriptions. We do this as a hobby and strive to make our customers happy. If you are dissatisfied in any way with your purchase, please contact us WE WILLL TAKE RETURNS IF WE DO NOT DESCRIB CORRECTLY If you believe that corrections should be made to the item descriptions, you could always contact the seller. They may be thankful for the help (or perhaps not). When I saw Red Hill, I too thought of the PA site. Guess not. I did send the seller an email several days ago with no response and no change in the advertisment on Ebay. Take it for what it is worth by their in actions.

Shamalama Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Yeah, most of those guys don't care what it's really supposed to be... as long as it sells. And you KNOW there are some less than scrupulous dealers out there who throw mislabeled specimens on E-bay to get higher prices. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
