Mark,



About that Ediacaran fossil, your colleague was spot-on.  I asked a mate who works on South Australian Ediacaran if it is Rugoconites enigmaticus, and he sent me a recent revision of triradial forms from the Flinders Ranges Ediacaran (Hall et al., 2018, Australian Journal of Erath Sciences), and confirmed that the specimen is indeed R. enigmaticus.



Cheers,

Greg

OK - don't waste time on it (they opened as massive images on my screen, so maybe a hitch).



Thanks

Mark,



The image isn't coming up in Outlook.  I can see there is a box called "Image" but clicking on it or on "Save picture" doesn't show it or open it.

Hello,

I'm new to this group. I have joined because I'm curating a fossil collection that has been historically separated from its catalogue at the University of Reading and am hoping to put fossils on display in our refurbished Cole Museum of Zoology. I hope my request is not inappropriate and would appreciate being pointed to anyone who would be happy to help me digitally. Thanks



This fossil is identified as Edicaran cyclomedusae on a handwritten label. I think it may be something like Rugoconites enigmaticus

I'm hoping someone out there can help me. I also have an unlabelled fossil that could be a faint Charnia?
