+Tethys C Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Okay, now that Landsharkz has sold out of the Ammonite Geocoin sets, it's time to give a set away. There are four coins available and one person can not win more than one. If you know the answer to another question - then tell a friend - so they can win too. I am looking for the Genus of each of the four ammonites that I used for the Ammonite Series. The first letter of the generic name is always capitalized and the genus name is either italicized or underlined. One of my new Beaver Tags (also designed by Landsharkz) will also be included with your winning coin if your correct answer is presented properly. Rules - sure - why not. The rule I see in these forums and that I like the most is - No whining and I am the final judge. You can post only one guess at a time and only every 15 minutes. This will give you lots of time to look at other pictures of ammonites and see how beautiful they are. Ammonites are also a very important index fossil in the geologic record. If you go to www.scotese.com - you can see where the maps on the back of the ammonite coins came from. Have fun and remember no editing of previous posts. I'll be checking tonight and I'm sure the names will surface sooner rather than later. If the cointest does last through to tomorrow I will have to check later in the day. I get to go to the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta with my sons grade 8 class - should be fun. Happy searching. Quote Link to comment

+Celtic Cache Trio Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I at least took a look but this is a little too much Biology for me. Good luck to everyone. They are beautiful coins and had I been working and some money coming in I would have gotten in on some of them. I'm sure whomever wins them will be greatly pleased. Quote Link to comment

+Tethys C Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 genus Bredia in botany, the genus is capitalized and the species is not, both are in italics or underlined. lara/rsg RSG is correct on the caps and italics/underline - but there have been no correct answers for the ammonite genus. A hint - one of them is VERY commonly found in Germany and England. Quote Link to comment
