mommabetts Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Left to right starting at the top, sea urchin, 2 clams, cinoid, fish and trilobite. As to what species I am not sure, maybe someone else will chime in with that if they can. Welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossilcollector Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Top row: Gypsum rose, brachiopod, clam. As for the middle and lower rows; the one on the left is a crinoid replica I believe. The trilobite in the lower right is a replica as well. Both replica's are pretty high quality. Not sure what species they are. The fossil fish is a Dastilbe from Brazil, cretaceous in age.

Guest solius symbiosus Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The second one is a brachiopod; it appears to be some kind of rhynchonellid. Without locality data, it would be virtually impossible to ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest solius symbiosus Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 ^^Ebay??? Without provenance, the value is greatly diminished; kind of like a book without a dust jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
