piranha Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 This is my first official entry for FOTM at TFF. It is a superb plate of various associated plant taxa from the Oligocene of central Oregon. The two larger leaves are Exbucklandia oregonensis and show both abaxial and adaxial aspects. The distribution of this genus today spans only from China to India. The plate is 8 inches tall with the largest leaf measuring just under 2-1/2 inches. Collected 4-22-11. Exbucklandia oregonensis Little Butte Volcanic Series Oligocene - Lane County, Oregon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranha Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 That's a nice plate Scott! Nice find! A super find Scott! PL Thanks Tim & Peter! I'm not really expecting to win especially considering the really spectacular fossils already entered and what will surely follow. It was wonderful to make the first collecting trip of the year out to the "Enchanted Fossil Forest" as I like to call it. One of my friends brought a camera and has photos so I will post one soon. Glad to finally get a FOTM entry here at TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palaeopix Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I returned to Coalmont Road today and look what the Easter Bunny left for me! The other half of last week's feather fragment!!!!! With the new bits, the feather now measures in at 40mm (4cm) for the part and 35mm (3.5cm) for the counterpart. Again the specimen is from the lower-middle Eocene Allenby Formation near Princeton, British Columbia. So this will be my entry for VFOTM for April! Part. Counterpart.

DeloiVarden Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Deloi, that is a one in a million find. very awesome. I am wondering though, the serrations to me look more like a great white than an angustidens. Just my observation. But nevertheless an awesome tooth. Thanks sixgill pete. It very well could be any serrated shark, but I just so rarely find great white where I found this one. I sort of went with the most found serrated species since the extreme pathological nature of the tooth makes a sure identification impossible. Additionally, most of the great white teeth found lack most of the root where as this one has most of the root, though very deformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
