    William is correct, this is half of a modern walnut seed, not a fossil.

    I’ve heard that there is some interest for a revival of the weekly paleo lab group to share updates, ideas, etc. Lets try for next Monday, 29 June at 10:30 at

    https://uflphi.zoom.us/j/6308489588

    The suggestion was also made that we do this every two week, which I am OK with as well. See you then, if you are interested.

    Natural formation from water erosion. Very unlikely you will be able to see fossil remains from Google Earth images.

    Unfortunately, I do not think this is a fossil, but it is an interesting rock. The ends seem to be layers of calcite crystals, with perhaps a carbonate mudstone in between. The odd shape would be a result of differential weathering between the calcite and the mudstone.

    No, this forum is referring to the Martin-Marietta owned Belgrade Mine in Jones Count, North Carolina.

    I’m seeing that we have many new members of this group. Does anyone have any mammals fossils that they have found at the Belgrade mine from North Carolina?  If so, send me photos, or upload them to our EMUSEUM. I then can explain why they are interesting.

    • I’m here in Craven County, NC but turned down a chance to go into Belgrade. (Didn’t think there were mammals there.)

      • Oh yes, and they are very interesting–I study ancient mammals that lived on land. At Belgrade these include horses, carnivores, rodents, tiny deer-like mammals, peccary, giant pig-like mammals, and possibly rhino. These are otherwise found from other early Miocene (about 20 million years old) localities elsewhere in the US, including California,…[Read more]

    Hi all–given the fact that we met just this past Thursday, lets make today’s lab meeting at 10:40 optional. What this means is that I will connect then and if anyone wants to talk OK, but you do not have to–if you have other things to do.

    For those of you who are interested, we will again use the link below.…[Read more]

    • Sounds good, Bruce. I will probably not connect today, as we are still scrambling to get everything straightened out for the online transition of the bio lab.

    Hi Rene, this is from an invertebrate. It’s either the part of a hinge of a clam or part of the feeding apparatus (called aristotle’s lantern) of a sea urchin. I’m sure with some photos from different angles, we could say which of the two it is.

    @jbauer do you agree / can you tell which it is?

    • I am doing a Skype call with an Escambia county school this morning so I am not sure that I will make it to campus in time for lab meeting.
