Last chance in our lifetimes!

Sylkat used to think of North America as home to sweeping vistas, enormous flocks of birds, glorious old trees, and those wonderful,huge herds of buffalo (or bison), thundering across the plains.

Now Sylkat must face the sad reality of lots and lots of snorting long-tailed pigs rooting in the underbrush and rolling in the mud.
All across the continent.

Ruins my illusions.

Sigh.

Here are some pictures of my more recently purchased marine fossils for anyone who may be interested:



Plesiosaur tooth



Angled so you can see the cross section of the tooth on the left of the matrix.



Close up of the tooth



Tiny Ammonite in a display box



The same specimen, out of the box



The Ammonite's 'bigger brother'



More of the larger Ammonite



The appearance of some soft tissue preservation in the shell of the larger Ammonite specimen



Both of the Ammonites together - I believe them to be Perisphinctes



A Trilobite



A portion of Plesiosaur femur



A close up of the Plesiosaur femur, showing the grain of the bone (unfortunately it's a bit blurry)

That is awesome. I love the Ammonite and the tooth!

During Pizarro's conquest of Peru, many of the enslaved Indians were chained together in one long link to keep them from escaping. Those who died on the journey or were too weak to continue often had their hands cut off and were left to rot or die by the conquistadors because they couldn't be bothered to stop and take them off properly.

Rabbitears, those are some awesome fossils!


I recently learned about the Chinese Remainder Theorem:
If you have a set of numbers that are relatively prime (none of the numbers share any factors with any of the others), it's possible to find a number that, when divided by each of the numbers gives any combination of remainders.

Example:
Set of numbers: 2,3,5,7
Remainders: 1,2,3,4
Number: 1103
1103/2=551 r1
1103/3=367 r2
1103/5=220 r3
1103/7=157 r4

Thanks for sharing right erm..
There is a big flat green space known as the "lines" all of 30 metres behind where I'm living atm.. is just a green space now, but a few hundred years ago it was deliberately flattened so as to create good ground for clear shooting, should the French invade the nearby docks.. The guns in the open don't work anymore but some in the docks still do. In fact, most of Chatham was a military/naval town..
Vaguely interesting

The knight can actually visit each square on a chess board exactly one time.

Detroit, Michigan, is a place where the U.S. is North of Canada.
