That amber jellyfish is such a mindfuck, if you have any more information on it please share or link me, I did several google searches but couldn't find anything.

I will contact the speaker .A few scenarios : Puked up by a bird , typhoon /tornadoes have rained down fish before or the tree /sap was somehow transported to ocean beach .

You tube is slowly converting my oldest videos to HD .I assume all you tube videos will be switched to HD in the future .Their backlog will take months for them to do.

I would have normally filmed the slide show ,but that projector made the colors flash /blink in the camera.I filmed the computer screen instead .

Intriguing

i had not thought about pyrite fossils before..

[flyingscience]

Pyrite trace fossils of worm burrows are very common as are pyrite brachiopods .They can be very beautiful -google them .
