COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

GOSH, they're TINY! You'd have to have a real eagle-eye to spot those. And an educated eagle's-eye to boot!!

I thank you.
But have to wear special glasses to search, now!
There are smaller ones and I'll be going through some of the matrix under a microscope later, to find microfossils.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I've got one today with out any of the fun - how unfair is that?

Very.

Hubby and I are going into New Orleans to participate in a Rotary Club fund-raiser today. Should be fun. And the monies they raise go to a great many charities. Their main goal is the world-wide eradication of polio. Hubby is a member of Rotary, I am a tag-along.
So see you all later this afternoon!

The eradication of polio is doable!
Good cause, good luck with that.
And enjoy!

And now one that almost got me.

It looks at first glance like another sponge colony, I found several like this, but it doesn't have the correct pores in the surface.
When I cleaned up the reverse, I found this:

This appears to show the broken inner whorls of a marine gastropod (snail), so i conclude that the sponge like thing is actually shell ornamentation for protection against predators and currents from a gastropod something like this :

Just dropping in to say hi to everyone.

Loved your Conquest of Tarifa stories, Sir Adam!

Been busy for the past few days.

Thursday night we had an event for wannabe writers (NaNoWriMo if anyone cares to google it). Turned out I was hosting it for Izmir---I had been under the impression I was going to just "help" a little. Here's me actually helping an, hm, aspiring novelist get on the Internet.


See you all tomorrow - as much as you can see in the Cold Dark Room, of course.

Yes, I feel back on top of things again.
A newbie lives in Malaga and showed some interest, but it seems their landlady won't let them get a tortoise now, so that's probably that.
