Triceratops83's Ornithischians- Rebirth from page 14

[triceratops83]

I'm really just playing with my new camera at the moment, and I'm looking for things to shoot. There are no animals around, so here are some fossils I have. I imagine all the threads to which I contribute photos will be inundated by me while I test out this new Camera.

Elrathia


Perisphinctes


Edmontosaurus


Triceratops

[Halichoeres]

Elrathia, the trilobite of trilobites. I had one as a kid but somehow misplaced it. I'd feel guiltier if they weren't so abundant, one of the most ethical fossils it's possible to own.

Hope you're having fun with the new camera!

I actually wouldn't want a rarer fossil like a full skeleton or skull of something because I'd feel responsible for it. I mean, a famous piece of artwork might be hundreds of years old but fossils have survived against the odds for millions of years, which makes them valuable in my book than anything humans have produced. It always kinda horrifies me to learn of important paleontological discoveries in someone's private collection. But I have no problem with common things like Trilobites, Ammonites and scrapped dinosaur teeth.

Oh, I'm lovin' this new camera! I've caught a bird in flight without blur and snapped a pic of a tiny jumping spider that I would not have been able to capture on my old camera.

Yeah, I think the caution with respect to rarer fossils is warranted!

Looking forward to seeing the jumping spider.
