1 day, 12 hours ago1 day, 12 hours agoOne of the many Moroccan fakes. The teeth are real mosasaur mated to a faked jaw. Note the sketchy unrealistic material between the brown part of the tooth (the real part) and the jaw. It is possible that they mated the real teeth with a real piece of some kind of jaw bone but these teeth were never in that jaw. You didn’t say what you paid b…[Read more]

Jennifer Bauer posted an update in the group What is it? 3 years ago
3 years ago3 years agoHi everyone, I am cleaning up our database and ran into a name I couldn’t find but the specimen is recorded as being from the Miocene of the Calvert Cliffs so I wonder if @vperez or @bill-heim may recognize a typo that is causing my google searches to fail… It is likely (but not necessarily) an invertebrate: Cordula idonea
-
Hey Jen! Can you send a link to the specimen in question? I don’t recognize the name either, but may be able to recognize the specimen if I saw it. When I search myFOSSIL for Cordula no results come up.
-
Hi Jennifer- could it be Bicorbula idonea?
-
@vperez – this is a specimen in the UMMP database, not myFOSSIL – should have specified, sorry. @cindy-lockner – I think you got it! Someone must have dropped the bi- prefix. Thanks for your insight!! Sometimes the typos are just enough that googling simply doesn’t provide any results!
-
Thanks for catching that. I was starting to go through my invertebrate references. Fortunately, I took the time to mask up and decontaminate with plenty of sanitizer afterwards.

Very awesome! I didn’t have much time when writing this so I just looked at the Devonian one and it was great, but I feel like it should have more weird and wonderful fish in there like Bothriolepis (or maybe there was a Bothriolepis and I missed it). It is the Age of Fish after all. Still amazing job, I’ll make sure to check out the others whe…[Read more]

Thanks @daniel-park! These are relatively old museum dioramas that were made into 3D so we didn’t have much say on the animals! Cenozoic dioramas coming eventually!

@jbauer Looks like you got to have some fun over the summer! 😊

The dioramas look fantastic!!!

Hi can you post when there is a winner

Hello, sorry for commenting here but I can’t figure out where else to find this information. I want to start a group on sedimentary and paleo thin sections (ThinSectionsUnite!!) but when I hit finish, it tells me there’s an error. Apparently I am not authorized. Does anyone know why this would be?
