4 years, 7 months ago4 years, 7 months agoHi @linda-lewis – interesting specimen. I wonder if @mellwood or @vperez have any experience with crabs in the Maryland area?

4 years, 7 months ago4 years, 7 months agoHi, @mellwood – really nice specimen. Is this one that you donated to the CMM? We are working on getting a new data field to indicate whether or not a specimen has been donated to a museum.

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @mellwood – it looks like there is an echinoid taxonomy image associated with your C. megalodon image. Is this something that could be deleted or maybe it was put on the wrong specimen? Talk to you soon, Jen

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @mellwood – Excellent specimen. I think echinoid mouth bits are really fascinating. I have a friend working on examining isotopic differences in skeletal plates of echinoids. Her preliminary work suggests the type of plates consistently group together (mouth, body) and are distinct from each other! Maybe she could chime in if you are…[Read more]

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoExcellent specimen, @mellwood. Do you know if this the type locality for this species? Here is a superb image I found on the echinoid directory: https://www.nhm.ac.uk/our-science/data/echinoid-directory/taxa/specimen.jsp?id=2232

I truly doubt it. We did work with Adam Osborn to use the specimens from this location to validate the new name for the species found down in Florida on the Peace River

I’ll have to look into it more. I was just surprised when I saw a specimen from the same locality on the website of one of the most renowned echinoid workers, seems like an odd coincidence but maybe not if the preservation there is excellent.

I would love to see any deformed/pathologic Megalodon teeth you’ve found and hear your thoughts on what might have caused them!

8 years, 4 months ago8 years, 4 months agoHey Mike @mellwood,
it is great to see how many very nice fossils you have uploaded. The images are all of good quality but maybe you can work with stacked photos to get a better depth of field. You can also make three pics at different level and I can stack them together for you if you like. We can discuss this at the imaging forum. Maybe you…[Read more]

8 years, 4 months ago8 years, 4 months ago@mellwood Thanks for uploading more fossils to the gallery, Mike! Keep ’em coming! 🙂
Not really. The rays here in Maryland tend to just get grouped together under very generic names such as Myliobatis sp. Rather then adding an incorrect name, I went with blank 🙂
@sadie-mills guessed ray! It is different form other rays I’ve seen. I am very familiar with genera that are loaded up with species that may or may not be that assignment.
