March 26, 2018 at 9:35 pm #33977Julie NiederkornParticipantThank you for listing these books! I look forward to checking them out.
August 25, 2017 at 12:06 pm #25126Julie NiederkornParticipantThank you Bill @bill-heim, I am attaching some larger photos of some of the nurse shark teeth.

I would like to label the nurse shark teeth that I have collected at the quarry, do you think all of these are Ginglymostoma?

July 20, 2017 at 7:07 pm #24340Julie NiederkornParticipantThank you! I am so excited to have found one!
June 29, 2017 at 9:19 am #24128Julie NiederkornParticipantThanks everyone, I have never collected trilobite fossils before and really appreciate your help. I was wondering if the pygidium is a Thaleops ovata? The cephalon sure looks like the ceraurine-Ceraurus.
<post bump> Any ideas, @jeff-nolder, @asa-kaplan, @jkallmeyer?
June 22, 2017 at 9:11 pm #24041Julie NiederkornParticipantSuch a thoughtful and beautiful gift!
June 13, 2017 at 5:39 pm #23691Julie NiederkornParticipantI’m sorry, I wish I could help. I agree with the others, the photo is just not detailed enough to identify the piece.
May 31, 2017 at 4:33 pm #23070Julie NiederkornParticipantIt was great to see you there. Looks like you found some great fossils. George Powell’s collection is amazing!
April 5, 2017 at 12:17 pm #21305Julie NiederkornParticipantSorry for the late response, I was on vacation and did not have access to the internet. I have many fond memories of the PaleoBlitz! Meeting so many wonderful people with similar interests, the tours, the collecting in the creek, it was all terrific. The PaleoBlitz has encouraged me to keep better records, and inspired me to do more outreach activities. I hope to see you all at the Aurora Fossil Festival!
February 15, 2017 at 7:51 pm #18705Julie NiederkornParticipantThat sounds terrific! How big will your complete Orca be? Can you please post photos when you are done? Thanks
January 30, 2017 at 8:34 pm #18458Julie NiederkornParticipantJanuary 29, 2017 at 9:50 pm #18348Julie NiederkornParticipantHi Eleanor, I just saw your post. I went to the Belgrade Quarry on January 20th for their quarterly fossil collecting day. About 30 people showed up. That is a large crowd! I didn’t find anything too unusual but was happy with my finds, including a crock tooth, two cow shark teeth, two beautiful nurse shark teeth, a great white(missing root), some partial phalanges (dolphin?), petrified wood and a nice collection of the more common shark teeth, ray mouth plates, shark and dolphin vertebrae, turtle fragments, etc. I have a couple of things that I still need to identify. Belgrade recently pushed a lot of dirt on top of some prime fossil collecting areas, so sad to see such a big area covered up by non-productive dirt.
November 13, 2016 at 7:34 am #15702Julie NiederkornParticipant@vperez Thank you for your post on how to determine if a bone is a fossil. I still have some questions. Is there a different set of diagnostic tests for individual mammal teeth? If the item is a mammal tooth with enamel, and the enamel is still partially white, does that rule out the possibility of it being a fossil? Would the burn test be used? Weight would be hard to compare because enamel would be heavy to start with and the “tap” test seems like it would be dangerous to use on enamel. What tests would you use?
Also, I have a question about the nomenclature of the word “domestic” when used in the identification of a fossil. I found a tooth in Greens Mill Run several months ago and was told it was probably a Sus scrofa premolar or a domestic pig premolar. Does the “domestic” title mean domesticated by humans or domestic by location? Fossil or not fossil? I have so much to learn! Thanks for your help!

To make my pumpkin I attached the teeth with stiff wire bent like staples. No tooth was harmed :). I didn’t use my best teeth just in case someone decided to smash it.
October 31, 2016 at 3:57 pm #14852Julie NiederkornParticipantThat fossil was one of my many favorites at Gordon Hubbels’ house. I don’t have a spooky fossil but I do have a spooky fossil pumpkin.

August 25, 2016 at 12:00 pm #10698Julie NiederkornParticipant@llundgren, Thanks for the videos and link. How long did it take to print and put together?
August 24, 2016 at 9:32 pm #10694Julie NiederkornParticipantThat is the coolest thing ever! Great job!
