   In this album I will show some vertebrate fossils I found in a quarry in southern Germany (Baden-Württemberg). 
   I am mainly interested in the bones and teeth from the so called "Bonebed".
    
   Some pictures of the quarry:
   
    
   
    
   The stone is very hard and the bones and teeth are very fragile. So its difficult to get the bones out of the stone.
   A rib in the found situation:

   I don't have all that many teeth like a lot of collectors here in this Forum, but I have found, purchased or traded for a few fishy things along the way.
   Update New Year's 2019: The collection has been growing thanks to trades, purchases and my own field finds.

5. Late Jurassic Ammonites from Southern Germany

   Updated January 8

   • 121 images

   • 72 image comments

   The overwhelming majority of this Ammonite fauna is preserved as limestone molds. But they can nevertheless make very pretty pets. There is a seemingly unendless amount of sites which can be visited since a great expanse of these layers is exposed from the north of Switzerland over the Swabian Alb up into the Franconian Alb in Bavaria. The forms and variations of this fauna are also manifold and the species and genera are being continually moved about or renamed, so I can't guarantee that my IDs are up-to-date.

   A very small part of my collection is comprised of some gift and some purchased fossils. 
   
   I've never paid more than $35.00 for a fossil.  (Not including shipping)  
   Yep. I'm a cheapskate.

    I've been living and collecting in this part of the world for a good many years now. Middle Jurassic layers are exposed at many sites here and these are the ones I've been concentrating on mostly.

    I've found a few decent sea urchins myself. Crinoids and blastoids are however quite rare in my area and the stars and other families of this order are even harder to come by, particularly when you tend, like myself, to restrict the majority of your collection to samples which you've found yourself in the field. This is why this section of my collection remains quite modest. I've just lately begun to trade a bit and some good friends have given me some nice samples, so things are improving.

    I wish I could find more of these, but I don't often have the opportunity to delve into the Paleozoic.

25. Gastropods of the Tamiami Formation

    Updated December 6, 2019

    • 152 images
    • 3 comments
    • 22 image comments

    The Pinecrest Sand Member of the Tamiami Formation is a series of beds which contain an incredible diversity of marine life from the Upper Pliocene ranging from approximately 4.5 to 2.5 million years ago. Primary among the organisms that draw attention to these deposits are the gastropods which are so well preserved that they appear to have just recently washed upon the shore. Although both professional and amateurs have collected from the Sarasota quarries which have mined the mollusk shells for construction for over 50 years, a single monograph has never beeen produced. In addition, I am also picturing gastropods from the Tamiami coral reef facies, the Golden Gate Member which contains some of the same species as the Pinecrest but also many endemics. Although short on description which is essential in peer reviewed scientific publications, I hope this gallery will serve as a guide to those who have trouble in acquiring the few out of date works that have delt with the Pinecrest.
