    3 years, 10 months ago

    I’m looking to have some things certified as being made up of certain properties as well as a reliable age associated to each specimen. I want to be able to label these particular pieces as being authentic, because being a civilian with less than zero authority in this field, anything I describe as” hard evidence” will only be known as a heap of…[Read more]

    Had a guess,  but ruled it out.  Pic 1 is part of pic 2, taken separately because it wrapped tightly around the rock. Looks fractured, but likely the same guy. Thanks for any thoughts.

    Can someone id this hitchhiker? Applied a drop if water for clarity,  and after 15 minutes of bobbing up and down it got up and walked away

    So many bizarre scenes. Ill post some larger fellows I found but having too much fun with the microscope at present. Still trying to get a cleaner shot of pic 2. Very frustrating.

    Thoughts on this? Looks like one animal till scoped in, then it’s more like a bad trip.

    Usual suspects in a lot of my stuff but was wondering why this one is almost weightless?

    Nay sayers unite! I won’t bother anyone with what lies beneath(it’s cool though), but rather the surface inhabitants, and wait for the “that’s not a fossil,  but rather a” insert dream crushing end of sentence here..

    How are these mistaken for anything but?! So disappointed with the reaction I’m reviving. 😞 if anyone offering their 2 cents and doing so without basic knowledge of Cambrian animals and has the capacity to recognize  at least the common ones, then I haven’t the words …

    Please for in the name of all that is sacred.  All im getting from this group is doubt and disbelief.  I will post the amazing within. Also,  i swear i personally pulled this piece from roughly eight feet up a dirt wall, riddled with rocks and freshly uprooted trees with stretches of it prior and further down comprised of completely saturated cl…[Read more]

    Thought it was a crazy silver concoction,  and it may very well be. Trying to id this one of many micro inhabitants if someone is in the know. .

    Probably more of a geology question, but given it contains fossils I’ll try and get away with it. Question being, what circumstance or conditions created a relatively even slice of this piece? Pulled it as is from a dirt wall. Wish i could dampen it for a clearer pic but i refuse to risk it anymore.

    In a seemingly normal eye agate.  I wonder just How often things like this go completely unnoticed.

    Thought I’d put this one on here as I haven’t seen anything similar thus far in examining my increasinly large load.
