6 years, 5 months ago6 years, 5 months agoThat’s great @asa-kaplan! I know a thing or two about fossil fungi so we’ll add that to our list. Thanks for the input and hopefully see you the 29th?

6 years, 5 months ago6 years, 5 months agoalas, Asa, no, we’re postponing until Wednesday, November 29th, at 7:00pm EST and changing the focus to be topical for the (american) thanksgiving holiday. We’ll be going over foods that people often eat for thanksgiving and discussing their fossil record. I’m personally excited to hear about the history of turkeys in the fossil record (paging @ega…[Read more]

6 years, 7 months ago6 years, 7 months ago@asa-kaplan – The webinar series is one that FOSSIL typically offers each semester (usually once per month for 4 months). In Fall 2016, the theme was “Fundamentals of Fossils.” In Spring 2017, the theme was “Women in Paleontology.” This semester’s theme is the “FOSSIL Roadshow,” which is modeled loosely after PBS’ “Antiques Roadshow” tv sh…[Read more]

This time I get to participate in the series as a general attendee, instead of working behind-the-scenes. 😉 I believe the first episode will feature Dry Dredgers such as @jkallmeyer, trilobite expert Dr. B…[Read more]

6 years, 10 months ago6 years, 10 months agoThanks everyone, I have never collected trilobite fossils before and really appreciate your help. I was wondering if the pygidium is a Thaleops ovata? The cephalon sure looks like the ceraurine-Ceraurus.
<post bump> Any ideas, @jeff-nolder, @asa-kaplan, @jkallmeyer?

7 years, 4 months ago7 years, 4 months ago@asa-kaplan@bmacfadden @jayson-kowinsky We have brachs that look like that here in Ohio. The ones you show as molds are dead ringers for the Silurian Pentamerus sp pictured in Fossils of Ohio. We do not have a Devonian one here that looks like that. The Treatise shows Pentamerus is only Silurian although the Pentameridae do range into the D…[Read more]

7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months agoHello, @asa-kaplan@bmacfadden
This may be a bit late, but the type of preservation and color look a lot like fossils from the Mahantango Formation that pops up throughout central Pennsylvania… If he was wondering what formation they may have come from.

7 years, 6 months ago7 years, 6 months agoCorrect, @asa-kaplan! The original poster, @laura-cotton, is a foram specialist who recently published on the biostratigraphy and microfossils of an Upper Eocene locality in Armenia. See page 18 for beautiful photos of Nummulites specimens!

7 years, 6 months ago7 years, 6 months ago@asa-kaplan, Hi Asa, upon first look it appears like a fossil Carya, but that would not match with Pennsylvanian age, so I suggest that you might have a pseudofossil here.
