Good day to all. Today, I'm posting a video movie on some of
the micro-fossils that I have found on stones and mudstones
that I've collected. The digital pictures were taken at 100x and
at the 250x settings. I have not posted any Id on them, yet.
Remember, I am a non-professional in the field of fossils.
I do enjoy sharing the pictures of my finds with all.



This one was found on sandstone that was split open(naturally by the seasons changes). Take a good look at it and you will see (2) different colors on it(black and red).  It does remind me of a coral snake looking back at me.The digital pictures were taken at 100x and at the 250x settings.

 

OK, what is the meaning of 'diagenesis'? Diagenesis a process when an organism remains undergo the chemical and the physical change to transform them into a rock.

I am still looking for more information on this micro-disk form and on the information that I have read. This micro-disk could belong to one of the following groups: (1) microscopic shells of marine planktonic, (2) tough-walled spores and pollen of plants, (3) cyanobacteria and (4) unknown.

When you are looking at the digital pictures (taken at 100x and 250x settings) ask this question “Is this an early process of the fossilization phase?”

Enjoy the 'micro-disk' gallery.

Colorful, Colorfast Micro-Art on Stone
  I found this micro-art on a stone just by change. Of coarse, it's not man made. The images were taken at 250x settings. I am calling this,for now, 'Micro-Art'. The questions I'm asking myself are, "How did this happen?" "Was this a living micro-organism at one time?" When I do find a good answer, I will post it.
  The stone on which the micro-art was found, looks like granite. The micro-art is on a black(rock) grain  embeded just below the surface of the stone. Anyway, any questions on this, please add your comment(s) on this post.

I have been away for a while, so, I will be posting new pictures for all to see, soon. I hope everyone is having fun and doing good to all. Many thanks to all who have visited my site and are waiting to see more of very small, microfossils, that I have found. Will be posting the pictures on Friday,3-11-2011. So, check them out..then.
