#FossilFriday #ostracod 3D printed at 100x. When I screenwash for mammal teeth I find a huge variety of fossils, including this one. It's the best way to learn about the whole ecosystem.

Yup, it's me, I'm running for something.

Check out this awesome exhibit in the OSU-Tulsa library! 3D prints of Jurassic mammal teeth, an ostracod, & a charophyte fruiting body, all found in Oklahoma. All printed at 100x so one can see them without a microscope, so cool. There's more matrix to pick, so I'm hoping it's volunteer inspo.

How could I give up using those buoyant, high-volume, purpose-designed, *beautifully* crafted, wooden screen sets for fossils?
These pack down small to store, are extremely lightweight, need no maintenance, don't get waterlogged, won't cut your hands up.
This is ~25 nested sets, loosely packed.

The best way to discover the full diversity of vertebrates in your fossil site is to screenwash for the tiny fossils. A few years ago I stopped using the wooden screen boxes (foreground) in favor of biodiesel screens (also foreground). They're not as buoyant, but will float in a ring of pool noodle.
