I've also thought it would be fun to upload some GIF images of our favorite
fossils. Sort of a virtual museum.
Yup, the cephalopods around here got big. I think 12 inches is about the
biggest, and about nine feet long. The largest I've seen in a museum is about
six feet long, and not detailed. There's quite a range of detail of
preservation, some of the casts are weathered out or covered with lime scale,
but you still see the obvious shape and the ripples.
I thought Tully monsters were named after a collector, not a place, but I
believe you. 🙂 I'm not sure if I'm up for trading yet… I'm still
building my collection, but as the bulk overflows the basement, I'm sure I'll
turn to a trading mood.
