Dear All,

I hope all is well.

I am currently looking for a complete Coccolepis from Talbragar fish

beds to complete my collection. Does any one know anyone who may want

to sell one?

i am also looking for a good AETHEOLEPIS also from talbragar.



many thanks



rodney



P.S. can anyone tell me some information on trilobites from the MT Isa

District.

Hi Rodney,



All I know about the trilobites in the Mt. Isa is that you can find

them at Beetle Creek, but when I went there, it was a cattle station.

Guess it is private property and you would have to ask permission.

Actually the ones out in Beetle Creek may be really hard to get

because they are behind the ore processing facilities and in the

fallout area of the smelter. You have to get serious permission to get

out there, from my experience.



having said all that I don;t really know the ropes, I;m not a local to

the area. I'm pretty young and green too. :-) I'm sure there are other

more accessable trilobites somewhere there.

Hi Rodney,



What fossils did you find?



Is the situation amongst geologists really that bad now? I've been

studying geology in university and the aspect of everything seems to

have flipped in it's head. When I started my degree they were all

talking economic geology up; there was a shortage of graduates and

they were waving a carrot of a %75,000 per annum wage for graduates

fresh out of honours. Now, as I approach the end of my degree we are

in this economic downturn and Rio Tinto (who was one of the most

aggressive recruiter in the university) is cutting a lot of people

adrift.



Regards,



  Reswob

Hey Rodney!



Your blog looks really cool! You have a follower now. My blog is at

http://reswobiandreaming.blogspot.com It's a palaeo-illustration

blog/art journal which I plan to link to a website showcasing my

images later on. Most of the images that I have on the blog are crap

though because I intend to show how I develop as an "artist" rather

than just show my goods



What sort of project were you working on in Mt. Isa?



Those fossils that you found, how old are they? Are you going to

write about any of them in your blog?



Cheers,



Reswob

just are not putting any new staff on. The good news is that its

expected to pick up faster then it all happened, which is good news.
