  1. Taxonomy from Fossilworks.org. Prepped by transfer method (Toombs, Harry; A.E. Rixon (1950). "The use of plastics in the "transfer method" of preparing fossils". The museums journal. 50: 105–107.) As far as I know, four bat genera with a total of 8 species are known from Messel: Palaeochiropteryx tupaiodon and P. spiegeli, Archaeonycteris trigonodon and A. pollex, Trachypteron franzeni, Hassianycteris messelense, H. magna and Hassianycteris? revilliodi. The genus Palaeochiropteryx is the most common and smallest bat from Messel with a wingspan of around 26 to 29cm. Archaeonycteris is rarer and somewhat larger - the wingspan is about 37cm. The largest bat in Messel is Hassianycteris magna with a wingspan of almost 50cm. Bat with partially preserved flight skin and ears. What is peculiar about this piece is that the bones show fractures. The forearm bones (ulna and radius) on both sides are broken in exactly the same place. Additionally, one of the lower legs may have been broken as well. Diagnosis from Russel & Sigé p. 124 (translated from French by oilshale): "larger size than Palaeochiropteryx tupaiodon. P3 relatively wider and shorter; protoconid lower; tubercles of lower molars less high and less acute; trigonid of M1 forming a more equilateral triangle; talonid of M3 notably narrow, and lower relative to trigonid. Upper canine relatively shorter and broader at its base than that of P. tupaiodon; its horizontal outline less acute posteriorly; talon of P³ broader lingually, with its posterior margin more transverse to the dental series; on M1-M², notch between mesostyle and parastyle less deep." Identified by Dr. G. Storch, Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg, Frankfurt a. M. Germany. References: Revilliod, P. (1917): Fledermäuse aus der Braunkohle von Messel bei Darmstadt.

  2. This bat is now on its way to Fossil Butte National Monument to become part of their collection. We found it this summer in our quarry. They will be preparing it over the summer and you can stop by and see it for yourself.

    Unsure what this is found it rock hunting in southwest Iowa neat the river on a friend's property.Looks like a bat in utero petrified

    My collection

    Hello all, I recently saw a whole lot of collections on this forum, and they were all beautifel. Now I cleaned up my room (what's a hell of a task to me, I spended 8 hours) and I deceided to take pictures of the nicest part of my fossil and mineral collection. It's by far not as nice as most members here, but I still have decades to get a nice collection . It's a bunch of everything older then the cenozoicum, because I find it hard to choose what group of fossils I want to collect, trilobites or dinosaurs/ reptiles. Dinosaurs are pretty hard to get here without paying high import and shipping costs. So let's start then. The trilobites are the firsts. Selenopeltis longispinus. Upper: Flexicalymene ouzregui 2 X Elrathia kingi Flexicalymene ouzregui Lower: Minicryphaeus sarirus Cyphaspis agayuara Crotalocephalina gibbus Upper: Cyphaspis walteri Boeckops boecki Combination of Cyphaspis sp., a very tiny kettneraspis sp. and two phacops sp. Coltraneia oufatenensis Lower: Kettneraspis pigra Cornuproetus sp. Gerastos tuberculatus Stapeleyella inconstans Trinueleus fimbriatus Elrathia kingi Phacops latifrons Foulonia sp. Right upper corner: Phacops sp. with bite mark A whole block with partials of Stenarocalymene celebra (I don't find much about this species so I'm still not 100 % sure if this is correct) and a ventral prepped Ogygiocarella debuchi The personal high-light of my trilobites (pictures don't do it justice). A Kettneraspis williamsi with a couple of free-standing spines. Personally the best I have ever seen. So far my trilobites. Next my Khouribga fossils: Lytoloma elegans ( a bit of restoration but most is real) A roothed Mosasaurus globidens tooth. Enchodus fang (there is a jaw in the stone also) Pretty big Mosasaurus sp. tooth Two verts of Otodus obliquus. Partial Mosasaurus globidens jaw Mosasaurus sp. partial jaw. 3 Weltonia ancistrodon teeth Otodus obliquus tooth Roothed Prognathodon tooth a box with misc fossils from Khouribga My two only teeth that are not from Morocco or Europe Denversaurus schlessmani Indet. Croc from Patagonia More to follow
