My avatar is from a picture of my Great Great Grandfather circa 1860s.

Mine is the logo for the 366th Tac Fighter Wing when I was stationed at Chaumont France. We had a squadron of F84 Fighter/Bombers there in 1962-1963.

Just F-84's, not F-84F's? By that time, I'd suspect the latter. BTW, when the Thunderbirds flew F-84F's, I got to sit in the cockpit of one and talk to the pilot. Bet that'd never happen today.

Aphelaspis buttsi Kobayashi ,a trilobite from the Conasauga Fm. collected in Rainbow City Alabama.

I get the trilobite, but what's Fm.? Formation?

BTW, I've talked to actress Morgan Fairchild, who my mother taught in high school. She's heavily into paleontology and told me about a fossil snail (ammonite) that her sister gave her for Christmas that year.

I think she's the only celebrity known to be interested in paleontology. A lot of fossils come out of the Austin Chalk and Eagleford Shale formations here. This was a sea bed in Cretaceous times.

The worst avatar I have seen is one of a pig with these tiny wings. I mean come on now. Anyone with an ounce of sense knows a pig can't fly unless its wings are bigger than that. I dare anyone to site me one case of a pig that could fly using tiny bee sized wings. All pigs are fat and to fly they have to have BIG wings.

Sorry,Yes Fm. is "Formation".In this case the Conasauga Fm.consists of a thick mappable unit and consists of shales,limestone's and dolomite's,containing fossil trilobites.
