Geoff Ruonavarra started the topic How can I help preserve my fossils in the forum Micropaleontology 6 years, 1 month ago
6 years, 1 month ago6 years, 1 month agoI was hoping for a few tips on preserving what I would call free standing fossils. The pop up book nature on a lot of the stuff I’ve been looking through has me increasingly worried ill knock them off accidentally. I found out the hard way dipping them in water was a terrible idea. Luckily it was only one and I saw it right away solo I haven’t…[Read more]

6 years, 1 month ago6 years, 1 month agoFound a semi satisfactory solution for now. Dial back on the magnification, and increase light. :-]

6 years, 1 month ago6 years, 1 month agoNot sure on the unintended capture of the lower one, but i have many, many of them. They are virtually found on almost every rock I examine and find visitors. Not all exact matches by any means though. With what I presume only to be facial features being consistent, then again, it may not have a face at all, looks can certainly be decei…[Read more]

6 years, 1 month ago6 years, 1 month agoLook familiar? Same species as the largest tenant in my other piece. Not nearly as detailed, but the same, no doubt. Anomalocaris.

6 years, 1 month ago6 years, 1 month agoStill not the quality of image im aiming for, but I think you’ll find its not crystalline fractures, clearly animals are within.

6 years, 1 month ago6 years, 1 month agoThere are more beneath the circled, just didn’t want to clutter the image too much. The x is where i foolishly exposed part if the animal, it was, when first exposed, a pale, yet still very lively with what I would for lack of better term, call sea weed green,it has since faded to translucent, presumably from air exposure.

6 years, 1 month ago6 years, 1 month agoAs said, im finding it difficult to capture an image under the magnification. But i assure everyone… this is legit. I have identified 6 different Cambrian animals within, several i cannot as of yet, but they are definitely in the realm of Cambrian life. I thought my eyes must beer deceiving me at first, but as i carefully used 5000,…[Read more]

6 years, 1 month ago6 years, 1 month agoGetting scoped pics to show up as they do under just observing is proving a bit difficult. But surely, it is evident that some of the animals within here are almost if not completely preserved? Every color, and detail still visible. It looks like the most frightening environment imaginable, with many of the animals in the middle of trying to co…[Read more]

6 years, 1 month ago6 years, 1 month agoOk. Last attempt here. I have seemingly endless items to go through and I guess in just wondering the commanality of well preserved Cambrian specimens. If it’s super common. I won’t spend so much time on each one and note all specifics, because I would never finish. If they happen to be a bit more difficult to come by, I’ll give each their do diligence.

6 years, 1 month ago6 years, 1 month agoStill sifting through a lot of pics but here is a couple if exteriors. Two questions.
Are fossils like this relatively common?
Is this site still active?
Thanks

6 years, 1 month ago6 years, 1 month agoNot everyone at once lol. Anyway, got a good scope for the weekend and ill get pics up asap, but wanted to quick mention my unmentioned guess was in fact correct. Anomolacaris and several other surprise creatures inside. Wondering if I can get a lead on an affordable 3d scan? Thanks.

6 years, 1 month ago6 years, 1 month agoHello. I’ve been trying to id as many of my specimens as possible on my own so I only post when necessary. This piece however, has plagued me for the better part of two weeks, every time I seem to get headed down the right path I find a dead end shortly thereafter. I think I know what it is, but I’m far from qualified to lable it in any way, and…[Read more]
