167 forum posts 153 photos | Utilising my spare DTI. Got my portable macro rail and made it into a more precise device to be able to take 10 microns shots for extreme macro photography using Helikon Focus stacking. I made a rigid set up adding milled aluminium attachment I made.

Nicely done, Raphael MichaelG.
Thanks Michael. Been super busy in the hospital. We are in a very bad situation as compared to the first event. Hope I can restart my macro photography again. Found this spare DTI and make it into good use.

438 forum posts 2 photos | Keep well Raphael. I remember your posts during the first wave lockdown and I remember comparing your apparently dire situation with my retired and isolating one. I wondered whether we would hear from you again or whether your posts would just stop, and we would be left to guess the worst. Good to hear you are still with us. Regards Rod |

10 forum posts | Hi Michael, Your picture is segment from a crinoind stem or arm. Still an echinoderm and still a nice picture. It is not the calyx of a blastoid. They went extinct in the Permian, well before the formation of the Oxford clay which is Jurrasic, at the location you found this. It is not a calyx either as this would be much larger and cup shapped. Mr C |

![]() 23121 forum posts 1360 photos | . Thank you, Mr C You will note that I used the word ‘allegedly’ in my post That was because the collector/mounter provided the description ... but I was unconvinced. [ it is mounted in a glass-covered cell, so only visible end-on ] Your comments are much appreciated. MichaelG. . Edit: __ and I’ve just found this very informative page: https://www.bgs.ac.uk/discovering-geology/fossils-and-geological-time/crinoids/ ... and this from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crinoid Edited By Michael Gilligan on 05/04/2021 10:12:20 Edited By Michael Gilligan on 05/04/2021 10:23:30 |

Just before this lockdown, my daughter braved Oxford St and bought a new jumper... with this included for free! Looks like the front end of Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa a Mole Cricket. If the jumper was made somewher in Indonesia it might have been from someone's lunch John |
