I would hope others that are lurking passively ( we need your input to make this forum viable!) to maybe to post a message... say hello to the group or post some of their favorite fossils or topics that you would like discuss pertaining to fossil or may be tell us how you got interested in Fossils!

Wow... that is what one calls a stonker! Next time I want the bristles on the chelicerae, though, please!  Will have a few photos of new Welsh thingies to put up soon... anyone for crinoids? |

Beautiful stuff, Peter. Amazing Cooksonia, and good to see the squamose texture on the eurypterid fragments. (Anyone: if you see anything with all those little Vs on, you've got eurypterid - it's quite handy, and I just wish the whole skeleton had it...)

Thanks Joe. I am still on the lookout for fragment of eurypterid from the Devonian Arkona deposit... the only fragment trace is the little v impressions on mudstone shale bits in an old publication... great diagnostic feature... Actually this is the first time seeing pyritied squamose texture on eurypterid ... one part of the quarry yield a weird turbation layer ... I call it the red brown layer filled with brachiopods which I have never seen in the Bertie dolostone... will image in the coming days.... also the telson of the phyllocarid is the biggest I have ever found. THe Cooksonia is really amazing the degree of fine preservation... the 2 sporangia joined at the base reminds me of the back of a King Cobra head when I was a child in Brunei over 45yrs ago....
