Corystus dysasteroides from NZ

[RonB]

Here are some pics of an echinoid called Corystus dysasteroides, (Oligocene) I found in New Zealand. What an absolute blast we had hunting for these!!! WoooooHoooooo!!! I cant wait to prep some of these out. We found quite a few of these, and it took some real chisle work to get them out, but what a wonderful time we had hunting for some cool fossils right along a super nice turquois beach in New Zealand! Wow!!!

Hey Jim. I think my prepping days are over for awhile. Its very very cold now and my garage has no heat!
As for ammo's, there are some nice ammos to be found in this state, but most of the fossils here are on private land. A buddy of mine and I are going to try a site for some of those big Placenticeras ammos next year sometime. If I find any, I will post some photos.
