    Some old finds prepped !

    Hi, After a few month's of being busy with other stuff, this weekend i finally found some time to do some prepping again. Since i now have an abrader i started working on some older finds. Most of these were found in La Verpilliere in France. Hope you like 'm....
  2. ....or something to that effect, in this case just one mouse: yours truly I spent some more time in the Danube Valley today digging in the mud in the Kimmeridgian divisum zone again. I only spent about 3 hours at it this time, since I wanted to be sure to leave in good time to get back home to the wife who needed the car later on, so I was prepared for a comfortable return cruise. However, on the way back a little bit down the road I noticed that a good number of blocks had come down from above and were just lying around in the ditch. Ok! A quick smash and bang episode was in order in the few minutes I had to spare and a few nice things came out. But then I had to switch over to Daytona mode and just managed to get back home with 2 minutes to spare. It would have been quicker if it wasn't for an inordinate number of trucks and tractors and even a slow-going learner. I didn't think to take my camera along, but here's a snap of the finds after a quick wash. The dark ones are from the divisum zone and the lighter ones out of limestone blocks. There's a nice big gastropod at the top right, which is not a common find for this site. Looks like I've got something to keep me busy for a while.
  3. ...over a few fields. With a bit of driving in between. Although spring has not officially sprung yet, I noticed that the farmers in my area are behaving like it's already arrived and are beginning to plow up some of their fields, so yesterday I figured I'd head out to the ones around Blumberg and Geisingen to see if their colleagues are doing the same. Sure enough, some of my favorite fields were freshly plowed. I also stopped in to the old clay pit just for nostalgia's sake. The productive layers there have been unreachable unter meters of debris for a long time now, but I managed to find a couple of weathered blocks which contained a few small ammonites. Prepping wasn't all that difficult, so I got most of the finds done today, although there are still a few bivalves to work on. Prorsisphinctes pseudomartinsi. ø8cm. Caumontisphinctes sp. ø 6cm. Pressastarte sp. 4,5cm. wide Ludwigella sp. Graphoceras decorum A small Prorsisphinctes sp. ammonite, Pygomalus ovalis echinoid and a rhynchonelloid brachiopod.
  4. I've been working at this site on and off for several years and decided it was time for another visit. A colleague of mine joined me in my efforts a year or so ago and he's been working diligently at it ever since. He recently informed me that he had opened up an exposure one zone higher up (koenigi) above the one we have generally been working at (herveyi) and had freed up what seems to be a promising row of blocks, judging by the finds he was making. So I figured it was time to have a look. Sure enough, after a couple of hours of hammering and prying, I managed to extricate a good sized Macrocephalites and several Choffatias which were amongst the ever present shell breccia in these turbidites. There was what appeared to be a nice surprise after I removed the next block. I was nevertheless a little wary, since the preservation at this level isn't always optimal, but the only way to find out is to get down to it, right? After about a quarter of an hour, I could see that the outer whorls were pretty rotten and in no condition to be saved. But I figured I might as well remove the overburden and at least try to save the inner whorls. This took about another hour. As you can already see, there are cracks running every whichway through it. No good sign. And once I had extracted it, it became obvious that it wasn't worth saving, particularly since the innermost whorls were nonexistent. Normally if they were there I would have tried to glue it all back together, but like I said, it just wasn't worth it to me. Well, that's the luck of the draw, isn't it? You'll never know until you've tried. I decided then and there that I'd leave that row of blocks for another day and began to hack down through the soft marl below to the row of blocks in the herveyi zone where I managed to dig out a few nice little ones. I found a few more later on, but didn't think to photograph them, since darkness was beginning to set in and I was starting to think about the can of Red Bull waiting for me in the car. Despite the disappointing giant ammo, I must say that this was one of the more successful digs I've done recently. I'll start posting more here once prep is under way.
  5. I visited the Kimmeridgian ditch again this week and just finished prepping the finds. I didn't do too badly this time, I'd say. Parataxioceras sp. & Ataxioceras hypselocylum on matrix. 16x12cm. Involuticeras involuta with a Pseudolimea sp. bivalve ø7cm. Laevaptychus obliquus with a small Glochiceras sp., an even smaller and pyritized Aspidoceras sp. and a sponge. 7x7cm. Two more Laevaptychus obliquus, parts of the jaw from Aspidoceras ammonites. Both are 5cm. long. Taramelliceras compsum. ø7cm. Aspidoceras sp. phragmocone with part of the living chamber. ø14cm.
