Those echinoids are clypeasters probably altus or portentosus. They are one of the goals of fossil hunting in Spain because they can be found in several Miocene localities and as you can see they are beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like another hole in my bank account some time soon! More green table, from a friend with I did the travel. The only problem, is the 20 euro per kg when we are sending those echinoids to the US, yes them are making a big hole in my pocket. But , lacking me some crab species from Alabama, when you want a Clypeaster, just call me http://www.mbfossilcrabs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Nice haul of specimens. Curious to how much a whole box of shark teeth from Morocco costs? You do not have to say if you don't want to, but it might be neat to get a large lot like that and create you own prehistoric shark jaw. As for your earlier posts about Alabama Crabs, I have only one specimen still in matrix from Bama, so do not have any for trading, sorry. I have a couple from Mississippi, but they have no legs.

I have a couple from Mississippi, but they have no legs. 15 euro per kg, but I had it for 10 euro per kg, and a bunchof them as a gift . Just for my kid, but now, at home, I think I will give him someones and keep for me the rest Seriously, those teeths are very devaluated, but there are a lot of good teeht and good variety of species. I remember how many money I paid ago for one or two of those teeth... If new or interesting species for me, no legs is not a problem for me, I love them also, if never you want trade, I'm ready. http://www.mbfossilcrabs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
