astron Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) γειά σου Αστρινό...τι κάνετε; ο κοράλλι είναι εκπληκτικό και τα πάντα είναι απίστευτη και υπέροχη... it's Greek to me! Congratulations on these superb additions to your collection Astrinos A hearty thanks, Scott, for this once more surprising post The amazing in this case is your nice comment in Greek. It's already known, that Greek is a very rich language and that it constitutes a resource for science and for many languages in the world, including English and French, of course. Characteristic are the English- Greek and the French-Greek speeches of our former prime minister X. Zolotas here . On the other hand, it's so difficult that even the more of us Greeks don't know it very well!!! In conclusion, I'd say that your Greek may be better than my English :notfair: Thanks again :D Edited February 9, 2012 by astron Astrinos P.

Missourian Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I'm sure I'm not the first to say it, but you've amassed an incredibly diverse collection of fossils. Many are unlike anything I've seen before. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astron Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hello all. Came back after a while just to add a single slab at the moment. I don't use to pick so incomplete things up, but these leaves and this branch are for first time found in my hunting area (late miocene middle Crete island, Greece) and the PDFs available are not helpful with the ids. Thus, any help would be appreciated. Astrinos P. Damianakis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missourian Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Goodness, I think those leaves may be fish, but I'm not 100% sure. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 These are really different! I too noticed the similarity to fish in the last picture, and I too am not sure... The other item is either a stalk or a rhizome, I think. Very interesting!
