The new wave of echinodem. Some in ovale, brown with little remicent of their distant shell pattern. Found great ones in good condition.

The two orange broken parts in orange flint.

Some have clear pattern, others are chunky.

And the other three in gray, with outstanding intact one in darker gray.

All are good example to shown of the varity to finding and for id.

Partial echinoids finds.

Good little Fossil Friday on Tumblr. Found recently this two parts of echinoids from different genus, both with the lengthy flint sponge on the gravel dirt track from an recently created parking lot sidewalks to an rural street.

The first is some kind like the previous found echinoids in their oval round shaped form without their patterns in orange flint.

But this is not flint chert, breaks different and has some pattern spots on it, like the molding of the shell on one side remains. Pressured into.

The other grays chert damaged seems to be an pressured fossil echinoid to beginn on side, and then broken apart in to 2, 3 parts.

Both were on the gravel dirt place overrun before from a lot of cars and people, but I can not tell if there were damaged since then, found no missing parts here.

Also an Etsy mail is one the way to me with some tumbled rocks & an bag of recognize fossils for collection, showing here and identification purpose myself & of the blog.

Idk why it’s so hard to see but in the first pic the rock he’s laying on is absolutely packed with brachiopod fossils

You know, I was thinking about an idea I had then realized just how angsty it would be on one side and how much fluff it would be on the other and I'm curious about other people's ideas too ngl

So like, I was toying around with the idea of Shanon coming back to Gardenview and snatching up the loser lesbians and bringing them home with her to save from... Whatever happened. Shanon has no idea, she was never allowed to know, so she just has two VERY traumatized toons now. She'll know how to keep Shelly entertained and happy, she was ALWAYS with Shelly, but I highly doubt she'd know how to keep Vee in check at all.

Vee would probably quickly spiral into a mental crisis about it too, as now everything has been destroyed in her eyes. Nobody remembers her gameshows because they ended years ago, nobody remembers her because Gardenview closed years ago, nobody's interested in learning about her as she's outdated technology to them now. She'd be alone, only able to quiz Shelly now, but she's heard all her questions and knows all the answers by now. She'd probably start self isolating because she just doesn't know what to do with herself, lashing out at Shanon because she genuinely doesn't understand why people aren't fans of her anymore and wants to blame someone except herself. She would be such a wreck and probably have major beef with any new technology Shanon brings home because it replaced her in her mind. Vee is now just... Vee. She's not a celebrity any more, she's not loved by anyone except the toon handler who took her in and her now popular dinosaur girlfriend, and she would not have a clue what to do about it.

Shelly would most likely have the opposite problem, she looks like a living toon just wandering around like she's a common sight to see - of course people would notice! Kids would ask her about fossils and she'd happily tell them all about what she is and their minds would be blown by how much she knows, she'd probably be asked to play by kids who think she looks really neat and be dragged to the sandbox to 'fossil hunt' whenever Shanon takes them to the park. Shanon very much would hide plastic fossils in there too just to see Shelly smile, like she used to before her museum shut down. She'd be such an interesting sight to see that she'd get stared at, often asked what she actually is, and probably would be the talk of the town for a while. Eventually everyone would know that Shelly is just there to have fun, don't bother her too much, but at first everyone would be so shocked by a living breathing toon they'd swarm the poor thing! I'm sure Shelly would be just a little irritated by the constant unwarranted attention and stares, but so happy she's no longer forgotten.

Their roles would reverse is what I'm getting at here. It gives so much Vee angst to work with and Shelly comfort... I am brainrotting over this idea if that's not obvious

My dude. There are pretty rocks everywhere. And you can just pick them up and take home with you. This world is full of treasures fr

Fossil Mickey

311/365 #hunt the mollusk

I don't have a ton to really add here, this ended up being accidentally a little beach themed given what fossils worked best.

I am making 365 new versions of Mickey Mouse for the public domain and releasing them under public domain all year long.

You can join the initiative to #hunt the mouse or suggest a theme yourself via my ask box.

Making an art sacrifice to appease the RNG Gods so they'll finally let me leave the Coronet Highlands.

🌀 To round out 2024, I’ll be counting down our 10 favorite finds of the year!

Starting with #10: pyritized Ammonite fossils we dug at Schieferbruch Kromer quarry, in Ohmden, Germany. The famous Posidonia shale in this region has yielded Jurassic fossils like icthyosaurs, crinoids, aquatic reptiles, and so much more. These diminutive beauties were a fabulous souvenir to bring back from Germany!

Hello, today a was back finding plenty of Fossils.

Picket up some , again yes more Echinoids, in good intact or half condition, some molds. Some in orange and grey. Flint Wallstones and rocks with holes.

An really good trace fossil from an medium sized mussel in flint, aulaxinia sponge complete and some genus of sponge, jet to me unknown.

An short but heavy rain storm was hitting my region on midday, it was good for spotting them.

The finding area has also expanded, more big piles now are added from surrounding fields.

The sandy ground level was flooded from the last rain, really muddy now but the piles got good washed out. 😅

Now washing and sorting them for upcoming photos tommorow for an overview.

Some facts, suggestions or correction in my text for the identification are gladly allowed.

One sided partial echinoid in gray flint rock. Some part eroded with pattern still remains. As i found it in dry dusty brown, it looked way nicer in contrast to now cleaned. xD

Also found an piece of flint rock with this included, an piece of some sort of horn coral or alike of white chert - gray flint rock.

Went on a super successful fossil hunt this weekend, it was my first time going out to my usual spot since last fall, and a huge chunk of cliff fell over the winter and revealed a treasure trove of fresh shale. I found a whole bunch of fragmentary trilobites and two that were nearly complete!

And I found this thing that really confused me when I first picked it up, it wasn't like anything I've ever seen

Went through my field guide at home and it turned out to be a crinoid holdfast! This grappling hook-shaped holdfast was used to keep the crinoid anchored to the sea floor (the added illustration is from this research paper)
