+Pabloturtle Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Nice looking design. Had to ordered a couple from LS. How does one go about acquiring any of the others. Quote Link to comment
+The Fossillady Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I AM SO MAD. You did a Trilobite coin and didn't even tell me you were going to do this. My final project for my geology degree was on the Burgess Shale. I can sent you a link to in if you are interested. I would give just about anything for a set of them. PLEASE, PLEASE.

Hi there fossil lady. I did let you know I was doing them, although it was quite a while ago. see below... How a bout a trade. I've got 4 versions so let me know if you'd like to do a trade. QUOTE(fossillady @ Aug 9 2008, 09:22 PM) Are you really doing trilobites? I can tell you right now I will take a set. Trilobites would be my favorite fossil. Yes - as much as I like ammonites - C-side Girl's favorite fossils are trilobites. Hoping to get things moving on this project over the next few months. Quote Link to comment
+The Fossillady Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Wow, that was a long time ago. Will send you a personal email. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+DresselDragons Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) Ordered one...I LOVE trilobites...they are my favorite fossil. An ex-boyfriend made me a pair of trilibite earrings while I was in college...I loved them, but they were so heavy (they were made from real trilobites). Last year I toyed with minting a trilobite geocoin. The PA state fossil is a trilobite (Phacops rana, a trilobite Pennsylvania's Devonian-age rocks)...so I thought that it would be a fun coin to mint...but I never got around to it. I am glad someone minted one...maybe I should get it wire wrapped so I can wear it with my earrings! LOL Edited April 19, 2009 by DresselDragons Quote Link to comment
+DJ.J.ROCK Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 cool!! living here in Colorado we have lots of fossils, some of them being the footprints of the dinos on the ridge of dino mountain, its ashame because the ridge that the fossils have been located have recently started to wear away due to corrosion of the mountain, the spot has been for tourists in the past and i belive that they are trying to prserve them at this time.

+Crowesfeat30 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Ooh! Sweet Trilobites! I hope to trade for some of the versions not sold at LS. I expect to have something new to trade by the end of May... CF30 Quote Link to comment
+teamhaynes Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Just sent email.... hope to grab one. Oh I am so not sticking to my budget. As a science teacher I just have to have one. Quote Link to comment
+Belfrypotters Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I was a good girl and resisted bidding on the purple starfish auction yesterday, so I think I'll reward my good behaviour with a trilobite or two. Well, I didn't exactly resist the starfish; my washing machine died a horrible death just before bidding closed and in all the fuss I forgot to bid, but it amounts to the same thing and deserves a reward .

Tethys C and C-side Girl have another 250. 100 - Antique Bronze 50 - Black Nickel with Copper Glitter 50 - Black Nickel 50 - Antique Silver with two toned Gold Trilobite Here is a picture that Chris from Landsharkz took of the BN with copper glitter Tethys C, You say that there are the following Trilobites are available: 100 - Antique Bronze 50 - Black Nickel with Copper Glitter 50 - Black Nickel 50 - Antique Silver with two toned Gold Trilobite Where can I get the entire set? My Son Fredhead wants to be a Archeologist/Paleontologist, and these are his newest favorites, he is also partial to the Tethys C Ammonite Series. Fredhead has well taken sick and will be up/down for sometime to come and most likely be affecting his Caching for some time to come, so I thought I would get him these for him to boost his spirts. We have an Earthcache local here: Wymps Gap Fossil Quarry Earthcache GCNX5V this is at the top of Fredhead's list hopefully we will be able to get to this one soon finding a real Fossil would really boost his spirts. Frehead is working on devolping his own Earthcahce so he can get Silver Earthcache Master level. I will be ordering the one available on Landsharkz tonight.

+Tethys C Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Landsharkz may make another 'batch' of LS Versions. Keep an eye on their website. In the Calgary Herald Today, there is a big article on the Burgess Shale. Very interesting historical look back on the discovery and importance of this amazing fossil discovery - 100 years later. http://www.calgaryherald.com/Technology/Ce...8063/story.html Quote Link to comment

+CacheMiner72 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Got my full set in the mail today. Thanks Tethys C. I was also lucky enough that even though I missed the Landsharkz sale my wife managed to haul one in for me so I have the full set of 5. Love the 2-tone. I think it is my fave of all of them. Thanks again Tethys C. Look forward to seeing more fossils in the future. kayn Quote Link to comment
+Landsharkz Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 We have ordered 100 more the same as the first LS run and we will have them at our booth at GWVII as long as they are ready on time! That is... we will have 99... there is one being set aside for gardengorilla ;-). I thought I'd better add that real quick before I have to deal with a rampant gardengorilla . Quote Link to comment

+Landsharkz Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 We had these at our booth at GWVII and have now listed the remaining stock on our site. We have contacted everyone who asked us to put one aside for them; we have about half of them left and they're moving quickly! This will be the last minting of these coins to make sure they retain their collectible value. Direct link to the Trilobite Geocoin coin sale page Quote Link to comment
+ZSandmann Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I got a two-tone at the Geocoin Event at GW7, they are amazing coins. I really like the tiny trilobites hiding under the sea on the backside. And the two-tone really makes the fossil pop. Quote Link to comment

+Tethys C Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 I'm very excited as I get to hike up to the Burgess Shale Walcott quarry tomorrow. They are guided hikes but anyone can sign up. It's a long day - about 20 kilometers (12 miles) and about 2500 vertical feet up. Totally worth it and I will trty to remember to post some photos here of the day. Happy Caching to all.

+The Fossillady Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I am so jealous, I wish I could go. At this point in my life it is a dream, my old body will not let me do a 2 mile hike let alone a 12 mile hike. I have been told the view is fantastic and just think of Walcott on a horse doing this trip 100 years ago. I get goosebumps just think about it. Have a wonderful trip and I will beg to see pictures.

+keewee Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Drool... I dream of one day traveling the world and visiting amazing places like the Burgess Shale. Have a fantastic day!! Quote Link to comment
+Tethys C Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Well I survived the trip but my feet are still recovering. Decided to pull out the big old hiking boots I haven't used for a few years. Big mistake and my feet paid the price. Still it was an amazing trip. Had to wear sandals to work for a few days but hey - it's summer. Here are some pics of the trip Yoho Lake along the trail to the Burgess Shale Glacier view in the distance along the trail At the quarry - still snow in late July. Emerald Lake can be seen in bottom left My trilobite coin taking in the view Up close with a distant cousing from the Burgess Shale A reminder that the trail to the Burgess Shale is closed except for guided tours An amazing day. If you are ever in the area and interested in going on the hike, just look up Parks Canada and Yoho National Park. You can also try the Burgess Shale Foundation. They have a website and can also be found on Facebook. Happy Caching. Quote Link to comment
