Hey Pat

I think the first one is an enchodus tooth. I could be wrong though

Pics 2, 3, look like crab claws and pic 4 sure looks like a crab to me.

I don't know what pic 5 is. Last one looks like a lobster or crab claw.....

Congratulations! :D

Welcome to the forum!

I think the first is a enchodus also, but for me is could be a fossil tooth pick LOL. All are micros and are on the slabs I have found, which are now over a hundred. Strange but there are some Pecten virgatus and Pseudoptera rushana. So far only one fish fossil which I gave away to a friend of mine, and a lot of what the heck are those?

Hey Pat, what are you taking those micro pics with?

I'll say it does! A lot of performance for the money :)

I Googled it; sure seems simple to use.

Nice stuff! I agree the zorb looks like a neat little item I could use. Are those pictures taken with the camera function or are they screen grabs? Do you have anymore pictures, not necessarily fossils, taken with the camera that you can share, jp?

No it has its own software and you can bring it up in Photoshop, do a movie or a snapshot, set it up to do all kinds of stuff got a nice manual to boot.

Had to reedit: with my monitor, it can go down to 53X and is just a little microscope for checking out my slabs.

Sorry, I should have said something but you can not see any of these without the scope or loupe. I scan them with a loupe first and then the camera scope. that's when I take the pictures.

The images are gone now.

Any chance you'd be willing to post up something?

I'm thinking of getting some kind of digital microscope. I was looking at the QX5 before, but now this thing seems like it might be better....at least it's less expensive.

Any more opinion on it after this long?

Thanks.
