Fossils

[Foozil]

Any fellow fossil collectors on this forum? Just curious.

I have a few trilobites, some fish, several reptile/fish teeth and some others. Not a huge collector, but when I find one I like, I usually buy it.

Nice, any pics? What localities are they from?

Exactly what crossed my mind while reading the OP.

Sure, I'll get couple probably later in the day. Maybe you might be able to identify one for me - its a collection of vertabrae in sandstone. Very well preserved, with a high spinal ridge.

Thanks. Sounds Moroccan, is the matrix similar to this?

Yep. The bones look similar, too.
[doublepost=1521928902,1521928612][/doublepost]I believe it's from a Upper Cretaceous fish (something like Enchodus), but not sure. There are some larger, round vertabrae scattered around the matrix as well, which I think are Otodus shark vertabrae. On closer examination, there are two pieces (broken slightly) of Otodus teeth around the edges. I bought the fossil for $5 'cause it looked interesting.

Anyone who has an iPhone is a fossil collector. Lol

Here's a fossil phone. A bit more durable than iPhones too, strange that they went extinct.

Best phone ever made... the Nokia 3315.

I bet if you put a new screen on that thing it would still work.

A single charge lasted over a week.

A morph of the 3315 has been identified and is now available in Australia.

I'm definitely picking one up in red. Legend!

I have one, over 15 years old. Last week I charged it, and guess what? Still works fine. Best phone ever, though I like modern phones for their camera.
