Hello all, Found these really cool fossils (some weeks ago). The fossils are from the Cretaceous period (shallow marine environment covered Limburg - part of the Netherlands). The fossils are from the upper upper Campanian and lower Maastrichtien (73-69 and/or 72-69 and/or 72-68 mya). I and my girlfriend were searching for fossils and walking in a forest when we found two VERY LARGE echinoids (Echinocorys scutata (Leske, 1778). These are really big and the best ones I have in my collection (one is 9 a 10 cm). The other one is also really big, somewhat flatter, but not complete (missing parts and bottem damaged, also the details are not that really good preserved but overall, the specimen is a very cool and good find). My girlfriend found the biggest belemnite specimen I have found in the Netherlands (one 10,5 cm Belemnitella/Belemnella sp.) (big belemnite on the right). All in all a really cool trip!

Yesterday: fossil hunting with my girlfriend in Limburg. Many Cretaceous limestones and good fossil specimens! Including a really big and complete Pycnodonte vesicularis (Lamarck, 1806). My second biggest Pycnodonte. Many belemnites (including a real cool black one!), two pieces (including a big one) from the same genus (Pycnodonte) and one sea urchin Echinocorys sp. or Echinocorys scutata (Leske, 1778). Also one recent cow/bovid tooth and a piece of vase. The two photo's on the right are from another (earlier) trip (fossils are on the ground in a field. Finds: one sea urchin Cardiaster granuloses (Goldfuss, 1829) and one belemnite (many more belemnites were found). Genus Belemnitella or Belemnella (Pachybelemnella) sp.)
