So most of the Christmas decorations--at least the outside ones are down! and I got sidetracked again when I went into the garage to put the decorations away. Started to move fossil boxes around and found myself looking in the dang things...I was thinking some of this stuff needs to go in a case and started to photograph some of it and make sure the labels were with them. I've still got some work to do but thought I'd show you much of it...could be a few pieces on the other side of the garage but here's the bulk of what I have from Germany... This collection started many years ago and as I've never been there to collect personally my distant relatives immigrated from there and another good friend influenced me with her German collections so thru Gifts, trades and purchases here you go. Hoping there is something in here you havent seen before. File names have Genus and location. Some small vertebrates... An amphibian and similar sized small fish. Most of a dragonfly Some crustaceans from Solnhofen Some plants Some belemnites

I found this in Holzmaden and I just want to know whether it's a fish scale and maybe even what fish it belongs to. I will soon upload better pictures.

I call it a graveyard of ammonites all on one large piece. I will prepare this one soon when I have time -

A few Belemnites I found. I am quite proud of the large piece even though it is not complete. -

This is a Belemnite I found in Holzmaden, almost complete but missing the tip. I have not prepared it yet but quite a nice little fossil. -

Another small ( 1cm long) and bit damaged Ichthyosaur tooth from the quarry Kromer near Holzmaden (lower Jurassic) But the root is nice and well preserved ! Some more images: -
Yesterday I was again in the quarry Kromer near Holzmaden (Lower Jurassic) and I found a really nice tooth ! The tooth is about 2 cm long and 1 cm wide ! I think its one of the biggest tooth I have ever found ! Its a Temnodontosaurus tooth, which is a large Ichthyosaur. In the "Schlacke" (a specific layer) you can sometimes find smaller teeth but such big teeth in a good condition are very rare. I am really happy about this one Especially because there wasnt much material there, so it was a lucky find ! The prep took about 4 hours. - The quarry, where I find this teeth will close during winter so the tooth is also a great completion of this year !

A very nice Temnodontosaurus tooth from the quarry Kromer near Holzmaden (Lower Jurassic). Temnodontosaurus was a huge Ichthyosaur. The tooth is about 2 cm long and 1 cm wide. So its one of my biggest tooth from Holzmaden ! In the "Schlacke" (a specific layer) you can sometimes find smaller teeth but such big teeth in a good condition are very rare. Some more pictures: -

A 0.7 cm long Steneosaurus from the quarry Kromer near Holzmaden (Lower Jurassic). The tip is a bit damaged. -
Last week I visited the quarry Kromer near Holzmaden (Lower Jurassic) for about 4 hours and I found many cool things ! Beside of some belemnits I also found some nice teeth. Mainly they are very small but this time I found a nice one. Its a Temnodontosaurus tooth, a large Ichthyosaur, which mainly hunted ammonites. The teeth had robust roots so that they could withstand the stresses of cracking shells without breaking off. The tooth is about 2.1 cm long and I am very happy about this one. In the past I also found some nice Temnodontosaurus teeth but such teeth in a good condition are very rare. You will maybe wonder now about the negative title but as you can see at the pictures the tooth isnt perfect. A part of the root is missing and the surface is a bit damaged. Here are some impressions: Thanks for viewing !

Yesterday a packet arrived at my place ... It doesnt look spectacular .... But it contains my prepped Ichtyosaur vertebrae ! About two weeks ago I sent Roger Furze (ludwigia) three Ichthyosaur vertebrae for preparation. And he really did a great job !! All of them are from Holzmaden (Lower Jurassic) and were found in the last or in this year. Enjoy: The first one is a very good preserved Ichthyosaur vertebra. Here is the unprepared condition: And here is it prepared: It is about 3 cm long and I found it last year in Holzmaden. There is a bit pyrite on it, which is very nice ! The other side: And from another angle:

A small but well preserved Ichthyosaur tooth from Holzmaden (lower Jurassic). The tooth is about 0,6 cm long. Because of the small size its not sure that its an Ichthyosaur tooth. It could be also a fish tooth. From another angle: -
