3 years, 8 months ago3 years, 8 months agoBeautiful egg @joseph-dumont!! I assume this was collected from the Orella Mbr of the Brule Fm, could you add that to the lithostratigraphy if correct? Also, could record the closest town (if collected at one of the ranches near Toadstool Geologic Park we can go with Crawford)? This looks superficially similar to the egg described by Chandler and…[Read more]

3 years, 8 months ago3 years, 8 months agoI think it should be good to go now @joseph-dumont! I added the UF reference specimen to the notes. If I understand correctly, that specimen was just as a reference to ID this one, right? Again, sorry for the delay in getting this fixed!

3 years, 8 months ago3 years, 8 months agoSo sorry about that @joseph-dumont! I’m not completely sure how to unlock the specimen so that it can be updated. Would it be okay if I made the change to S. fatalis for you?

3 years, 9 months ago3 years, 9 months agoThanks @joseph-dumont! The form shows up great for me. I’m not sure there is any real preference of how to get the specimen to the FLMNH. I’ll get in touch with Dr. Hulbert and let you know.

3 years, 9 months ago3 years, 9 months agoThis is great! Thanks @joseph-dumont! Dr. Hulbert responded that the specimen would add scientifically to the Florida Museum collection and, if you are willing, a donation would be much appreciated. I’ll figure out a way to send you the donation form. (Does this link work?: http://www.myfossil.org/files/file/accession-form/) Thanks so much!

3 years, 9 months ago3 years, 9 months agoI completely agree @joseph-dumont! Thanks so much for generously offering to donate the specimen! I’ll reach out to the Collections Manager and see if he thinks the specimen has high enough research value that it would benefit the collection. In the meantime, could you update the data associated with the specimen to indicate the updated ID (and…[Read more]

3 years, 9 months ago3 years, 9 months ago@joseph-dumont I finally received a response from our Collections Manager at the Florida Museum. He says he thinks it’s too big to be Panthera onca (as I had suggested to him), but could be from a small bear. To my knowledge the only ursid known from the Peace is Tremarctos floridanus and even those are exceedingly rare (we only have three…[Read more]

3 years, 9 months ago3 years, 9 months agoWhat a great specimen @joseph-dumont! It’s not screaming Smilodon to me, but it does bear some resemblance to Panthera. Let me get a second opinion and I’ll update you as soon as I hear. Great find!

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months ago@joseph-dumont – very cool specimens. I’m trained as an invertebrate paleontologist could you explain what these pieces are so I can expand my knowledge base? Thanks! Jen

These are the front or hind foot bones from a three-toed horse (Mesohippus sp.) collected in northwestern Nebraska on private ranch – approximately 20 miles north Crawford. The bones were a surface find and I was unable to find additional three-toed horse bones associated with these foot bones in the nearby area. Oligocene – lower Brule for…[Read more]

That’s awesome! I’ve always been interested in horse evolution but haven’t dove into the literature too much on it to get more familiar with the anatomy. Thank you so much for sharing. @bmacfadden is definitely the horse expert and filled with excellent knowledge.

Excellent, I will update the information for the new entry fields – I always like collecting foraminifera with unusual or pathological features. Thank you @jbauer and @samantha-ocon.
@jbauer and @samantha-ocon – Forgot to mention that Dr. Laura Cotton had ID this foram as a possible Lepidocyclinid with a serpulid worm tube on top of the test.
@joseph-dumont, this is such a cool specimen! I agree with that ID – Laura taught me everything I know. 🙂
