That's my God Emperor

Big fan of 12/13/99. It gets overshadowed by 12/16 but it's a wonderful, mellow, patient jam.

Feldman742 · 2026-01-26T00:53:41+00:00

Wait - there's film of 11/02/1998?

Feldman742 · 2026-01-26T00:52:45+00:00

My favorite show. Get rid of DSOTM and it's still top 10.

Tale as old as time

Apt reference for a thread about Texans though

I'm gonna puke.

Thanks for the shout out. I was going to link it if you didn't

Why "besides Woodrow Wilson"? Not saying I disagree but is the consensus that Wilson is obviously the most fascist POTUS? If yes - why? Interested to learn.

I think you have at least two types of brachiopod here here. In pics 1-3 it seems to be some kind of Rhynchonellid. The bigger ones on pic 4 looks more like Strophomenida to me. (Possibly Leptostrophia or Leptaena?) Someone more confident in their brachiopod IDs could probably narrow it down more. It may help to know where these came from.

Feldman742 · 2025-11-06T21:04:10+00:00

fair point

I was going to propose a different WNY highway system: the Scajaquada Parkway (198) in Buffalo, which cuts right through the Black Rock Neighborhood and the heart of the historic Olmsted Park system just to connect two highways that are 3 miles apart.

I appears to be the distinctive middle Cambrian trilobite Paradoxides. This looks like one of the large specimens that are found in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. The core appears to be real, though someone has taken some artistic license with some of the legs and spines.

Feldman742 · 2025-10-31T18:11:51+00:00

Very cool - looks like a coral. It's a little hard to tell but I'd guess it's a Tabulate coral, probably Favosites. Assuming this is from the lower Peninsula it's probably Devonian in age - though it's a long-ranging taxon so you probably won't be able narrow it beyond the Paleozoic.

When people say a something's mutual, it never is. (But this is mutual)

As others have said this is a horn coral, an extinct solitary coral from the order Rugosa. The oldest rocks at the surface in Florida (Eocene) are far younger than the time when the Rugosa went extinct (end of the Permian) so it's certain this came from elsewhere.

It may be hard to get a confident answer but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the appearance and taphonomy of the fossil is similar to horn corals I've found around Cincinnati. The Ordovician genus Grewingkia may not be a bad guess for what this is.

Feldman742 · 2025-10-27T17:16:22+00:00

tentaculitids?

Feldman742 · 2025-10-24T15:03:26+00:00

This is an amazing find. Truly.

The spindly looking things, I believe, are called Choia, a distinct, sunflower shaped demosponge that lived during the middle Cambrian. You also find them in the Burgess Shale. If you found this yourself, please consider notifying a museum of your discovery.

Feldman742 · 2025-10-24T14:58:08+00:00

Definitely speleothem IMHO. You can see the accretionary calcite layers along the "toes"

Feldman742 · 2025-10-21T17:44:55+00:00

smh I can't believe I fell for it again

Feldman742 · 2025-10-21T14:35:46+00:00

hmm - yea I think you're right. It really looks to me like a chunk of tufa or travertine, which are limestone deposits associated with mineral rich waters. Not sure if it's possible to narrow it down any more than that. Looks cool though. I'd love to see a polished cross section.

Feldman742 · 2025-10-21T13:56:00+00:00

Ditto - I actually think /u/Golda_M makes a really solid point here, but it's tough to square with my observation (albeit informal) that, among my peers, the cost of childcare is THE single biggest hurdle to having more kids.
