pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted May 23, 2021 So, how often do you visit the quarries? As I've been there about 10 times now, not a single tooth, crocodilian or other... Link to comment

Sadly there is only one quarry in thea area of Holzmaden left, which is closed during winter (and now closed because of covid). There occurs a very hard layer with many small fish bits where teeth are a bit more common. I guess I was already about 200 times in that quarry. And I think I have almost the same number of prepared teeth from there. Link to comment

With that being the layer to search, I guess it all depends on whether they recently dumped some new material or not. Actually, the first time I visited the quarry, now a couple of years ago, they had just dumped new material from that layer. And this is the first and last time I found some fish jaw in tbe quarry...
