This time I settled down to make a copy of my very best Crussoliceras crusoliense ammonite from the Early Kimmeridgian at the ditch in the Upper Danube Valley. It's ø is 16cm. and it has a small Glochiceras sp. tagging along at the mouth aperture.

Man was it hot today! Would you believe it? 30°C on the 9th of May! I did a lot of sweating, but even though it was somewhat exhausting after 7 hours of digging, I did have some fun too. I cleaned out this area during the first few hours. And came up with at least a few things. I then decided to move to another spot. And promptly found the best one to this point. The fossiliferous area in the hypselocylum zone which I am working consists of two ca. 20cm. thick concretionary limestone beds separated by about 20cm. of friabl

Hi everyone, I recently checked out a spot in Danube, NY for trilobites. I made sure to take a ton of shale home for further examination, and I split a piece and found this. This is the best picture I could get at the moment, hopefully it is sufficient. It does not come off after running under some water.

I spent the afternoon today exploring the ditches in the Upper Danube Valley and found something in all 3 of them. Spent most of my time at the regular ditch by the side of the road in the end where I've been slowly excavating the Kimmeridgian hypselocylum zone every couple of months or so for the last few years. I took a couple of photos of the work in progress and also one of my finds. I'll post them here again once they're prepped.

Hi folks This year our two week annual holiday is to Bratislava, capital city of Slovakia. We will hopefully go for a couple of days to Vienna too. Anyone know of anywhere to dig? Also interested in fossil shops. I doubt I'll drive there but may hire a car for a day or so. Last year we went to Prague and I hooked up with a collector, hunter and retailer, a guy called Jìri. We went to a couple of his favourite places and found trilos, graptolites, bivalves and orthocones. It was a great experience. I need to find another Jìri! IMG_
