Stromatolite Fossil

When I first saw this stone, I was excited. I was even more excited when I found out what it was. A record of the first life forms on Earth. Information from billions of years ago. How could I not be excited? I would love to know all the information hidden inside this beautiful fossil.

Meet, Exogyra Ponderosa. It's an oyster fossil from the jurassic and cretaceous period. It's also known as a devils toenail. I use to find these at my grandma's house as a child. That's where this one came from ❤️

genesect probably does exist tbh, since ghetsis teamplasma did in fact reportedly buy a bunch of the best-preserved Eosect grandii fossils at auction circa 2003, but it definitely is not roaming around in my woods. i would for sure have noticed in there was a paleozoic uberhunter cyborg bug kicking around in here. something like that can't live with 0 ecological impact.

"FAMILY CONTINUES HUNT FOR DINOSAUR," Sault Star. May 8, 1934. Page 12. ---- Sternberg Father and Sons Comb Hinterlands For Animal Bones ---- (By Guy E. Rhoades, Canadian Press Staff Writer) Toronto, May 8. - (C. P.) - If Levi Sternberg goes to the field this year, and he hopes he will, it will be his 14th expedition as a dinosaur hunter in 16 years, but that, he says, is nothing compared with the record of his father and two brothers.

Levi, preparator of paleontology at the Royal Ontario Museum, is the youngest member of a dinosaur-hunting family that has gained the plaudits of scientists for almost six decades. His father, C. H. Sternberg, made his first expedition to the Kaлsas fossil beds in 1876 with the late Edward Drinker Cope, professor of geology at the University of Pennsylvania and one of the most noted pal- eontologists of the last century.

The old man, now 84, is still working on the Pacific Coast, making his headquarters at San Diego, Cal., Levi has been working for the Oftario museum since 1919. Charles has been with the National Museum in Ottawa since 1912 and George is now at Kansas Teachers College in Hays.

Sternberg senior started collecting fossils in Kansas when he was 17, at a time when many people did not know the strange rocks with patterns in them were remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. He did little work in museums, but he was recognized as one of the greatest fossil hunters and is now the veteran of them all.

He and all his sons worked for the National Museum before the war, searching the badlands of Alberta for the petrified bones of monsters that roamed that weather-scarred, barren country when the land was a steaming swamp covered with tropical vegetation.

The father and George returned to the United States, but Charles and Levi remained in Canada and continued to make trips to Alberta, usually along the Red Deer Valley, bringing back their specimens in the fall and spending the winter mounting them for exhibition in the halls of their museums.

The difference in the patterns inside makes me think it's a fossil.

I trust tumblr will have a good answer, but does anyone know where I can find affordable (like reasonable but not over the odds kinda affordable) but still real dino fossils? I’ve been looking around and the closest I’ve gotten so far is Etsy but I’m not sure if they’re real or ethical, help me out tumblr😭

Reblog if you love these druzy shells!

These rare seashells were formed over 100 million years ago and are extracted one at a time by hand from a hill in Central India that was once under a prehistoric sea named Tethys.

Out of all the shells found, less than 5% have any druzy at all!😳

Just added another super cool fossil to the collection! This genuine Plesiosaur tooth was found in Morocco and dates all the way back to the Cretaceous period. It’s also quite a large specimen, measuring almost 2.5” in length!

Plesiosaurs are often mistaken for dinosaurs, however these prehistoric creatures are actually part of a separate group known as "marine reptiles." They first evolved in the Triassic (208.5 MYA) and thrived until the massive KT extinction event caused by the Chicxulub asteroid. This took place at the end of the Cretaceous, and was the same extinction event that wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs (66 MYA). 💥🌊

I've got so many calcified fossils in limestone 🥹 I love them 💖

[momdiddler3]

This fossil i found in shale i was breaking 🤔 it looks like a shell but considering i got it from a higher elevation area i think its ver nuce. Would still like to know what it is.
