ebrocklds Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 Wow I love that last sand dollar. I want one of those where can i find one? I bet Dan knows. anson, i am not sure where this sand dollar came from. it was purchased by a gift shop that i worked for at the tucson show many years ago and it was sooo nice i had to get it. most of them do not have the beautiful pattern like this one. i vaguely remeber them saying it was from the coast of mexico, but i could be wrong. i should have bought more. brock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorman Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Well be careful with it, I had a nice one but it fell a few inches and hit another fossil and broke into a dozen or so pieces. I had it all nicely prepped and everything i was very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebrocklds Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 ok, i think i have the answer for two more. let me know if they could be correct.. the last one, (the cool sand dollar) is a Encope borealis, pliocene Baja Mexico. the moroccan regular urchin is Psephechinus sp., jurassic, anti-atlas mountains. now i am down to the argentine one. brock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
