I think I may be getting sick. The flu has also been bad in my area.
The man flu has been going around the CDR for ages. You might have caught it.
(Get well soon!)

Up very early or bed quite late?
Fossils from Mazon Creek, Illinois, sent by a lovely chap on the Fossil Forum who lives nearby.
These are Upper Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) in age, the same age as the Radstock Coalfield in South West England and with some of the same plants.
307 million years old
This is Pecopteris; a tree fern.
Preserved in little nodules 3.5 cm long.

More like drenched and freezing, but thank you. At least, there’s coffee!
A lycopod leaf, or club moss and a coprolite (fossil poop)
leaf is 5 cm long.
This was a really weird plant Cyperites the name given to the leaves of Sigillaria, that grew directly out of the trunk and branches.

Indeed, mind if i join you in a cup?
(not actually 'in' the cup, just mean have a cup of coffee with you)
This reminds me of my old German lesson: “aber meine Tasse ist zu klein!” (But my cup is too small).
Please, be my guest!
Myalinella meeki a freshwater clam, very small, nodule 3 cm, clams only about 1.5 cm long
On the left is Cyclus americanus and on the right Belotelson magister, a shrimp-like creature, see all the little legs and antennae?
Th cyclids were animals that performed the same ecological function as crabs do today, they flourished in the Carboniferous and Permian, survived the Triassic but went into decline in the Jurassic as crabs eveolved and flourished. They died out at about the same time as the dinosaurs near the end of the Cretaceous period
The shrimp nodule is about 4 cm long.
Cyclus looked like this,
But I doubt it was this colour.
Its closest living relatives are fish lice.
