    @jbauer Jen, Jen, Jen, it is 10 mm as indicated below the bar 🙂 Hardly visible in the thumbnail but OK when you enlarge the photo. Got you on this one… BTW, I no longer have this specimen. Traded it for something or other.

    • Oh my gosh, it was so small my old eyes couldn’t see it!!! Worst part is – I did enlarge it. Okay, I’ll put that in the field notes for good measure.

    @jbauer Ha! welcome to the ever confusing world of algae, porifera and corals. So, Dermatostroma glyptum (this specimen) has been redescribed by Dixon, Bolton, and Copper (1986 JP) (copy of same coming to you in email) as a heliolitid coral Ellisites glyptum. Other species within Dermatostroma apparently remain stromatoporoids within that…[Read more]

    @jbauer This Dermatostroma is not a glyptum so therefore remains a Dermatostroma. It could be scabrum but I am not sure. I will have to dig this one out an add a scale bar.

    @jbauer@bheimbrock  I could put a plea in the next DD bulletin but it won’t come out until mid-September.  My only other option is a mass email to DD members ahead of that.

    @bheimbrock Hey Bill! Don’t be trying to replace me as Dry Dredgers bulletin editor.  I like doing that  🙂

    @jbauer  @bheimbrock Bill is the only Dredger I know who has the talent to do this.  I don’t know about his availability though.  Maybe Bill can suggest others.

    @egardner I must admit to being disappointed when they were calling for group photos from various colleges such as this one from UGA. My school wasn’t called! I suppose that it is possible that I was the only one there to have graduated from General Motors Institute (now Kettering Institute).

    Sadie I just viewed both of your You Tube posts. The Lithostratigraphy one has something messed up I think at 22 seconds. The writing on the left hand side is covered up and/or invisible. Everything else looks great.

    @jbauer Well in trying to figure out how to message Max I tried again. It appears there is a sweet spot of where the mouse has to be to make this work. You can’t just click anywhere and to me this is not clear. I tried a new entry and the box says “drag and drop here” so that is clear. On my existing page the box said “upload image” and the…[Read more]

    Jen, I am using Chrome. This is the same set-up I used to upload that clam photo right before NAPC. You may recall that the drag and drop did not work for me then either but I was able to copy/paste it. That’s not working for me now. I sent the photo to you via email yesterday so let me know if you didn’t get it.

    • Hm. Okay, please send a feedback snapshot to Max with a description of what is happening because that is unusual. I did not receive the photo from you. Could you try sending it to my gmail? [email protected] my UFL account has been having some trouble.

    Jen,

    I apparently deleted the image that has no scale but am unable to figure out how to add the new one with a scale. As you know the upload image tab does nothing and I can’t remember how to get the photo on the page. I tried copy and paste and drag and drop but nothing works. The taxonomy, at least the genus name, came from Rich Fuchs our…[Read more]

    • Hm, that’s weird that the drag and drop didn’t work. What web browser are you using? Definitely email it to me and I can try for you. I think the generic assignment is correct, was just trying to confirm the higher order classification.

    Jen, I added the note. I didn’t realize the photo had a scale bar as it doesn’t show in the thumbnail.

    • Yes, I know. We discussed the thumbnails at length in a recent meeting. It’s, unfortunately, an artifact of pre-determined aspect ratios in the platform we use. There could be other options but there are issues with the variety of sizes of photos users upload which could make things really messy in terms of display options.
