    Thanks! They’re my “thing”, the plates. I’ll watch a YouTube video of someone picking up handfuls of individual brachis or horned corals and I’m losing it over the stunning plates going unnoticed. LOL

    Which is it, a fossil, meaning the remains were replaced with minerals and turned to rock, or a dried up slightly mummified modern day cat skull of some kind? If you e got a skull with skin and fur on it, it’s modern day. Why are you arguing with people trying to give you honest information? You request opinions and answers then turn to attack w…[Read more]

    Photo only for ability to post

    Is there a way to block some of our more imaginative and argumentative guests?

      There are some admin, but welcome to the annual-ish game of troll or deluded. So far it’s just been shortish flare ups and then they go away. If things get overly rude tag bill-heim as he was moderator at one time.

      Good idea @corinne-daycross, but one question, why would you want to block the imaginative people, they are the ones that actually help

    Eyes are gelatinous goo. They do not fossilize. You can not possibly have STC eyes – unless you just returned from a dig in Siberia, where ice aged animals are frozen.

    Depends. If it’s limestone matrix: dremmel and/air abrasive. If it’s just powdery residue, toothbrush and vinegar.

    A great place to start a fossil hunt is on Google. First read up on what you can find in the area you’re going. No such beast in VA/WVA sorry, rock

    I don’t see the bryozoan. There were no reptiles here during the time sea fossils were being made, the very very odd croc or turtle.

    I don’t see the crinoids, some nrachiopods, clams..no crinoids. Entire rock seems to be coral.
