The Daily Fossil Record

I used these hooks to mount these pretty heavy plates.  I love these hooks because they strong, cheep and can be manipulated to fit different shape fossils .

MrsR gifted me this ammonite from madagascar.  I believe it is Aioloceras besairiei but I am not sure really.  It quite pretty and I think it maybe from an old collection because it been varnish and not polished as they usually are now. It will display well I think.

MrsR gifted me this little set of stamps. These.stamps celebrating the uk's great pioneering palaeontologist. The sheet of four stamps recognise the contribution Mary Anning made to the modern understanding of dinosaurs.

The designs include a portrait of Anning, as well as three of her most famous finds whilst fossil hunting along the Jurassic Coast near her home in Lyme Regis.

Is it your birthday again? MrsR must like you! Here is a suggestion when her birthday comes around:

Really nice stamp set of some iconic fossils :dinothumb:

I don't think they sold out and there are different sets available I think. :thumbsu:

Wow, now she would love a night in Purple Rain House.  It has been years since I watched this film. We are also fans of Morris Day and The Time, Prince's rivals in this movie. We definitely got Minnesota on our list of places to see. Cheers Bobby

Sorry that I don't have much time at the moment to dedicate to this thread but I try too add some bits and pieces. 

 

This brachiopod was part of an old collection (1930s to 1940s ) Adam @Tidgy's Dad gave me his thought on this  brachiopod. "Lower Carboniferous productid brachiopod, maybe Antiquatonia, but could be several others so just productid is probably best."
