3 weeks, 2 days ago3 weeks, 2 days agoAtv first, I thought it was just a rock, but it’s so symmetrical that I’m doubting that. From this view, it looks kind of like a vertebrae.

4 weeks, 1 day ago4 weeks, 1 day ago@susy-quinn I think the trilobites I buy in the museum gift shops are all prepared, meaning people have used drills and chemicals to clean them up. I’ve never found one in the field as complete as this, but I have split open rocks to reveal parts that are relatively clean. You can check it my specimens to see examples. 😁

Bookworms from the myFOSSIL app 1 month ago1 month ago1 month agoI’m finally getting around to reading Wonderful Life by Stephen Jay Gould. It’s a great “regular schmo”-friendly book that’s really sparking my interest in the Burgess Shale.

I love that you used trilobites in this photo. I’m obsessed with the Burgess shale and I’ve heard of this book – I should check it out!

What is it? from the myFOSSIL app 1 month ago1 month ago1 month agoThis is a weird little fella that I found at an early Devonian site in WV. I think it might be a gastropod: I’m imagining a gastropod shell that starts at the swirl towards the bottom and expands in a clockwise direction towards the top. What do you all think? #fossil

Yes it is.

1 month, 1 week ago1 month, 1 week ago@hunter-thurmond Hi, Hunter! Flash can wash out some of the details of fossils, so I use directional lighting. I don’t do anything too fancy, though; I just don’t have the time or money to create an elaborate studio. Here’s my set-up:

Nathan thank you! I have done them kind of like that before, I think using a card to reflect light into the shadows and a black velvet background will greatly improve my pictures.

Does anyone know how to uncover a fossil in such a clear and clean manner like this?
