jpbowden Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I know nothing about fossil fish teeth, any help? Here are some of my other micro's Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 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! Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpbowden Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Carson zOrb MM-480 about the size of a hens egg and cost 30 bucks hand held and works great! I'll say it does!

non-remanié Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 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? -steve I'll say it does!

Had to reedit: with my monitor, it can go down to 53X and is just a little microscope for checking out my slabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpbowden Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Edonihce Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 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?
