4 years, 4 months ago4 years, 4 months ago@rens-dewaard@sadie-mills@mackenzie-smith ; another collector Don proposed it was a Cylindricanthus rostrum piece. He said these were common in the Castle Hayne and upon google search I agree with his ID. Pretty cool and fun to prepare. I will post pictures once I am done with prep.

4 years, 7 months ago4 years, 7 months ago@sadie-mills@carl-lewis A lot depends on the preservation material for the trilobite. Most will be calcitic and will be adversely affected by any chemical cleaner that will dissolve limestone. To remove loose or soft shale or mud a toothbrush with water and an optional mild detergent will help. If the limestone matrix is covering part of t…[Read more]

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @trevor-hoelscher I agree with @sadie-mills, knowing a more precise location will help narrow down on what it could be. It could be a sponge but I’m not sure, usually they preserve with the opening filled in. Do you have an image of another view of the specimen?

4 years, 9 months ago4 years, 9 months agoHi, @sadie-mills – From your location data and your notes it looks like this area is undifferentiated Pleistocene-Holocene material: https://macrostrat.org/map/#/z=13.5/x=-81.4341/y=30.6994/bedrock/lines/ Which at the very least narrows down your geochronology some! Cenozoic > Quaternary > [Pleistocene?] – check out the map! Thanks, Jen

I love the ability to digitally manipulate the fossil specimens on Digital Atlas of Ancient Life. I will definitely use the lesson plans on iDigFossils. I would like to acquire some physical models to use in my classroom. I expected to receive ideas to effectively implement the 5 E’s in science in the area of paleontology.

I like the 5E lesson plan with the Digital Atlas of Ancient Life website. I also enjoyed the hands on lesson using the 3D printed fossils and how it connected to a larger story of the animals that harmed the bison. I wish I had 3D printed fossils. I need more time to go through all the lessons. I appreciate the wide range of resources to use in…[Read more]

My favorite presentation was the hands-on 3D fossil models where you had to match the bite with the damage seen on the bones. I think I can incorporate this into a fun scientific method lesson. I teach Geology and Astronomy so the climate change is very interesting and relevant to my curriculum. Any material that included climate change would be…[Read more]

My favorite presentations were the ones on the use of Digital Atlas and iDigFossils. I loved the resources they showed us and the practical classroom/lesson plan application of those resources. I think they will be especially helpful when discussing fossils with students and teaching them that each fossil tells its own story. I would like more…[Read more]

There are other things for specimens that have undergone more alterations. Other times we can look at the texture or fine details of the fossilized egg shell, which is very different from surrounding rock. Most times the egg shell is cracked- adding more textures-…[Read more]
