    The bottom two “leaflets” look opposite to me. That makes it Metasequoia for sure. It’s common in the Mitchell area as part of the Bridge Creek Flora. Sorry it took so long to respond. I just saw this post.

    Hi Jen. Yes I have this specimen in my personal collection. I have numerous specimens of praerupta in fact. Thanks for the taxonomic info.

    Hello @bmacfadden, @jbokor, @cgrant, @smoran, @llundgren.

    Well, after 3 months of 3D printing I have completed preparing 16 sets of the 15 teeth for the horse project. We have two simultaneous classes of 8th graders, about 30 students in each, and 8 total classes for the day (between two teachers). Grand total… 240 teeth. I taught my fellow…[Read more]

    Hi @jeanette-pirlo. I found gar scales in Montana in dinosaur country too… Cretaceous age stuff. It’s cool when you recognize fossils across localities and time. Are gars potentially a living fossil? Their range and longevity is huge. Those two from Florida are really nice, I agree.

    I’m glad you found a good photo. The selfie with Bruce and I wasn’t quite as good. I would like to share that the fossils were collected by Bill Sullivan (founding member and first president of NARG) from the Oligocene Bridge Creek Flora of the John Day Formation. Bill recently passed away and his collection was donated to NARG of which these…[Read more]

    Hi Bruce. I’m acquiring the petrified wood from friends. I originally thought you wanted Metasequoia leaves… that’s what I have. It certainly much easier to identify. The wood is more difficult as most experts don’t really know how to tell the difference from Metasequoia and their cousins in the Taxodiacaea family. Never-the-less, I have people…[Read more]

    This forum topic is where we can discuss exciting new discoveries in the field. Here in Oregon, our group has discovered a few notable marine reptiles from the Mesozoic.
