....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.
