The weight is 2.4Kg (huge!) and we are looking to find a solution to send a number of volumes in USA and Canada to avoid to pay for each volume more or less 30€ of postal charges. I'm REALLY sad that we aren't able to maintain the planning, but some minor issues happened in the final phase. Anyway, few (lucky) people had the chance to acquire the book during the Sainte Marie aux Mines expo in Alsace (eastern France), and we'll try to be present in the major Mineral&Fossil expo. If you are interested to have a look at the contents you can download the first chapters and presentation from here: http://www.keyobs.be/fr/ebonino/TriloBook/Trilobite_Presentation.pdf | |

His passion are obviously fossils and his collection is very very beautiful. He loves to learn to young generation what are fossils, how they are conserved in sediments, how we can find and to appreciate the real value. He loves to share his knowledge and discoveries and he has tried to create a bridge between private collectors and Institutions. The result is that all the undescribed specimens lend to Universities researcher and "professors" (Italian obviously) never come back and without any thanks. And obviously without any paper describing the specimen. This is one (of the many)dark sides of the Italian culture; fortunately not all institutions have the same behavior. One of these fossils is recovered in the Back to the Past Museum, and it is a trilobite dated to Carboniferous, and belong to the genus Ditomopyge sp. We know that this is not "scientific", but informally we would like to thanks Romano for his effort naming this trilobite: Ditomopyge romanoi (nomen nudum) Thank you Romano! | |

Here is a short curriculum to present Richard to our visitors: Richard A. Robison is presently a Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Kansas. Many of his scientific publications concern Cambrian paleontology, with an emphasis on trilobites. Previous positions and activities include Curator of Paleobiology at the Smithsonian Institution, Professor of Geology at the University of Utah, Gulf-Hedberg Distinguished Professor and Director of the Paleontological Institute at the University of Kansas, and Editor of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology. An hearty welcome Richard! | |

In this specimen are visible trilobites (Calymene breviceps, search for this specimen name in the gallery section to have a look at the slab), briozoarians, brachiopods, gastropods and crinoids very well conserved and partially covered with an aesthetic patina of pyrite (iron sulfur). | |

| Just to remember that only 40 of our trilobite book (Italian version) are available now. I would like to thank all the non-Italian speaking trilobite collectors that have acquired the book in confidence and send us very positive (see enthusiast) feedback. We are working hard for the English version but probably it will be available only during the month of January, so if you want to send a gift for Christmas, choose this unique first release. | |

Comfort デーヴ コンフォート氏など）によって修復されたり、手を加えられたりしたものではありません。 新たに制定された法律によって、アメリカ国内での化石の収穫が制限されてしまったこと、そして抽出地(House Range, Weeks Fm)の最終的な閉鎖により、これらが、自由に入手できる最後の化石となります。ぜひこの機会にご入手ください。 ご質問等がおありの場合は、遠慮なく私どもにお問い合わせください。また、「Curators」のページにて、私どもについてさらにお知らせいたしていますので、そちらの方もご覧ください。 | |
