COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

I also got some more fossils including this fern from the Carboniferous (300-320 million years old) of Germany.
@Bee62
It's not a very good one but i got it for free with the other stuff.
And it's a terrible photo too, sorry.

These blind trilobites, Ellipsocephalus hoffi, 505 million years old, from the Czech Republic were really lovely, glad to have got these.

Not here it isn’t. We have grey again today... it continues to be not cold, not windy, not sunny with no precipitation

Good morning, Linda.

Good morning Adam. You’re up an about early to day

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning, Roommates.
Lesson in 15 minutes, so quickly :
An ammonite, Polyplectes discoides from France.
It's Lower Jurassic in age, about 180 million years old.
You can see the ribs and suture lines quite well.

Student.
Last week this one overslept and missed the whole 2 hours, ringing to tell me when there was only 5 minutes to go.
A bit cooler here, but still bright and sunny, no wind or rain.

And a rather lovely little fish, a pycnodont from Lebanon, about 100 million years old.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Student is late.
Now, does anybody know what this is?

That is particularly lovely to the uneducated eye.

I know that some obscure, and unrecognisable to normal people, fossil is probably more interesting to paleontologists. There’s a place fir pretty ones too though

Quite right.
The actual aesthetic beauty of some of these fossils is correctly just as wonderful as it's scientific wonder.
This fish has both.
It's remarkable to think it existed at the time of the dinosaurs and was crunching away with its little dome shaped teeth on tiny shelled animals. The group it belonged to were very important at this time, they survived the Cretaceous extinction, but sadly died out about 40 million years ago.

Good morning

Good morning, Ed.
Golly!

After the market, where I also got a new waistcoat, we went to the beach and then out for dinner.
wifey took a photo of the inside of 'the ladies'

Look at the odd angles.
Artistic?
Or incompetent?
