  1. Fossils from Switzerland

    In this album I want to show some fossils from the quarry Schümel near Holderbank and from another quarry near Liesberg.
    They are both in Switzerland and I wasnt often there but at the quarries you can find many beautiful fossils and they are very nice places !
     
    At the quarry near Holderbank you can find various fossil from the "Birmenstorf-Member" (about 15 milion years old). For examplem you can fiind many brachiopods, ammonites, corals and sometimes small shark teeth and sea urchins. Its good after rainy periods !
     

     
    At the quarry near Liesberg you can find different fossils from the lower oxfordium, like corals, crinoid stems and sometimes also sea urchins. In the "Renggeri-Ton" you can find beautiful pyritized ammonites !

  3. Holzmaden

    Some of my finds from the lower Jurassic of Holzmaden.
    They were mostly found in the quarry Kromer near Ohmden ( http://www.schieferbruch-kromer.de/ ).
    I have found different types of ammonites and belemnites but recently I focused more on vertebrate material.
    Vertebrates are not very common but its not impossible to find teeth and bones. 
    I found most of the teeth in the "Schlacke", a layer with many fish parts. 
    The most common teeth are teeth from Steneosaurus bollensis (crocodile). You can also find Ichthyosaur and Plesiosaur teeth.

  10. Texas Mammoth Humerus - 48.5 inches

    This is a series of updated images (April 2022) of a left mammoth humerus I found in Texas Pleistocene strata. It is a large, mineralized bone 48.5 inches (123.2 cm) long.  For many reasons, it is one of my favorite finds.
     
    This is the 2009 story of its discovery, recovery, and reassembly.

  11. Mark's Mazon Creek Fossils

    Collected from 1994 to 2011. These are from 15 different locations, both public and private. The letters A thru O designate each area. I'll happily tell you exactly where each one is, and a few I never got around to checking out. It's up to you to get permission from the landowner(s). There are still millions of concretions waiting to be found.

  13. Barton Beds Hampshire UK Fish-Reptile-Mammal

    The Barton Beds are Bartonian 38.0-41.3(Ma).  The Bartonian name is all down to th Swiss stratigrapher Karl Mayer-Eymar who just happened to be going around his business at Barton-on-Sea in the late 1850's and is used to define the period worldwide. All these are self collected.

  14. 1925 Body & Trace Fossil Collection - Vegitation

    Documenting the 1925 Hagemeyer Body and Trace Fossil Collection. This collection has been sealed until late August 2019 and never reviewed by the public.
    The collection consists of Vegetation Fossils, Trace Fossils, Body Fossils as well as Minerals of all kinds, 400+. The specimens came from a 1924-25 Expedition to Argentina. A more informative account is written in the "Ocean" Album barring the same name.
     
    What has been remarkable to study about these berry specimens are that they still bare the fruit and in most cases the skin still intact. a few have been split open and you can see the shape of the fruit inside. A few specimens have the seed, fruit, skin or shell open to view. The ground cherries, which are the majority of the berries portion have a orange color to the fossil, while having a darker ring on the inside and finally the heart of the berry being a redder brown. Below are what the ground cherries would have looked like 52 Ma ago to the present. A few of the berries have a build up of minerals that would have been the attached paper thin husks.
     
    A walnut half shell with husk and meat still inside, and a few berries with larger seeds visible. As well as what looks to be a Fossilized Pteridosperm seed known as Trigonocarpus.
     
    The Tree/Wood Fossil portion has larger specimens that have turned to amber while the smaller specimens are stone

  16. Fossildude's Purchased/Gift Fossils

    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.

  24. Late Jurassic Ammonites from Southern Germany

    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.

  25. Middle Jurassic Ammonites from Southern Germany

    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.
