Dinosoar Time with MM !

Picked-up one of my larger fossils. It's my first chunk of a Triceratops. Notably, a fairly large chunk of it's *frill.

*The frill of a Triceratops is made of fibrolamellar bone and is part of the dinosaur's skull. The frill is made up of elongated bones that look like a giant fan near the horns. The frill protects the Triceratops from predators like the Tyrannosaurus. The name Triceratops comes from the Greek and means "three-horned face.

The above photo is of the famous "Big John", the largest trike ever recovered. The red arrow shows a puncture in his frill .... probably from an attack by a T-Rex !

My piece is about 6" long, 2" thick, and weighs .... ummm, about 2 lbs+

Here's a crop of the bone structure. It's extremely dense, probably to provide protection.

Very interesting.

I was thinking MM (the resident old guy now) probably took his 2 girlfriends to the drive in movie on its back, Flintstones style.

Flintstones, meet the Flintstones, they’re a modern Stone Age family …

Now I have to turn on some music to get that tune out of my head. Thanks

 

[gmcttr]

You should buy it, shoot up the ammo and sell it to me cheap.

Nope, nope, nope,. . . Double nope.

 

[KJQ6945]

The 94 is a rifle caliber gun. That one is in a pistol caliber. Shameful!

My work here is done then.

They had a buzzer that went off at break time at work. It sounded just like the whistle from the Flintstones theme. I’d start singing it. They all hate me now, because now, they all hear it too.

Morning folks!

Very cool dinosaur pics MM. Between you and Leadeye, there are a couple of good museums in the making.

Morning all...

. Where is everyone? I came to lurke and get caught up but nothing to catch.

 

[wtburnette]

Must be a lot of folks sleeping in today I guess...

Picked up a Stevens 87T that only needs to be cleaned up. Is missing part of the tube mag but is available at multiple places. The 87T was the rarest of the 87 model.

 

[T-DOGG]

Yawn. What day is it?

Work work work. Trying to squeeze a run to the LGS in today.

It is way way out of my way. Like a mile away.
