Early Jurassic plant fragment; East Berlin Formation in Connecticut
Cianfaglione posted a topic in Fossil ID
The first time I found this type of triangular marking I thought it was a broken off tip of a much larger plant fossil. Five specimens later (all identical in size and shape including straight-edged base) and I'm now starting to think that this might be a possible pinnae to some sort of cycadophyte. Illustration from the book Introduction to Plant Fossils; Cleal and Thomas. Early Jurassic, East Berlin Formation of Connecticut. Thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated..thumb.JPG.a4acf0568b7f5061882b31116df7c5da.JPG)

Conifer Cone??? Early Jurassic East Berlin Formation in Connecticut
Cianfaglione posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this interesting plate this morning, not sure what the two (circled) objects are, but they look like possible conifer cones, including what looks like a stem on the top cone-like marking. Early Jurassic, East Berlin Formation in Connecticut. Comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!.thumb.JPG.fb6a1c5050ff8781d8dd25189f9b2523.JPG)

I'm still going through some of the rock that I collected from a road cut of the Early Jurassic East Berlin Formation (200 mya) in Connecticut. This caught my eye this afternoon, maybe a leaf?? It looks like a leaf from my ginkgo bonsai that I have sitting on my desk! Maybe its nothing. Thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated! Fossil is part and counterpart.

Here is one more fossil plate (same location as previous post) that I found the other day along a road cut of the Early Jurassic East Berlin Formation (200 mya) in Connecticut. Maybe a horsetail and strobilus (bottom right corner)?? I don't know what the halo around the vertical lines are about. Thoughts and comments are again greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I found this fossil plate two days ago along a road cut of the Early Jurassic East Berlin Formation (200 mya) in Connecticut. I'm not sure what these trace fossils might be, maybe bivalves?? Thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated Thank you.

Just wanted to show you some things I found recently on a plowed-up field in the southwestern German region of Klettgau. My wife and I were there for a hike last week and I heard that it was possible to find fossils in the area. So when I got home I did a bit of research and headed back down there the other day. There is supposed to be an exposure in the middle of a forest, but I didn't have the coordinates, and despite an hour or so of driving up and down the loggers roads, I wasn't able to track it down. However, a few fields which can expose Early Jurassic fossils were also mentioned, so I had a go at them and after criss-crossing them for a couple of hours I managed to come up with a couple of things. As is often the case, I forgot to take my camera along, so I'm afraid I can't show you the landscape, which, by the way, is very nice. Sorry 'bout that. Anyway, here are the two finds after prep. The first is a Chlamys sp. bivalve 2.5cm. in length. Two bits of shell popped off which I had to glue back on. The second and last find took quite a few hours to prep, since it was stuck in a concretion. I wasn't even sure if it would be worth the effort, but it turned out very well in the end. I just had to fill in a bit of the outer whorls with Apoxie Sculpt and carve the inner whorls in order to complete the picture. It's a Lytoceras fibriatum with ø 20cm. The geological map marked the field only as Early Jurassic, but this species can be placed somewhere in the Pliensbachian.

New Abelisaurid From the Jurassic Period Discovered
paleoblog23 posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I'm a huge fan of the 'abelisaurids' and while searching for any news on the lumbering predators I found this report on the new genus 'eoabelisaurus'. It shows a lot of features of late Cretaceous abelisaurs, despite coming from the early Jurassic, before the likes of allosaurus. Enjoy! http://blog.everythingdinosaur.co.uk/blog/_archives/2012/06/04/new-species-of-abelisaurid-described.html -
I was given another one of these large Arietites ammonites from the Early Jurassic Sinemurian to prepare recently. It turned out that it wasn't worth the effort for my friend, since it became obvious after a few hours of work that there weren't any more ribs to be found after a certain point. You can see this in the photo below. The arrow marks the point where the whorls disappeared and the ellipse shows another area where there were no ribs. So he left it with me and I decided, what the heck, let's do a bit of carving just for fun. I used mostly the attachment on the air pen with the flat stylus until I approached the center and then changed over to the fine point. Took about 7 hours to get it done and now it's found a place out in the garden. I figure I could go into competition with the Moroccans now Arietites solarium. 40cm.

Here's some pictures of Trace fossils from early Jurassic of Western Himalaya. I'm curious if anyone knows what the proper name should be if not "Thalassinoides". Thanks in advance
