Solnhofen Dragonfly - What is real?
DarasFossils posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, My Dad and I purchased a really beautiful Solnhofen dragonfly resembling something very similar to this (not my picture), which has these really prominent eyes and legs on it. Is this naturally preserved or likely painted on, and if so, does this affect the quality and value? Seller is reputable and I know paint is common with the Solnhofen just so you can see them for display which I don't mind but just curious what is likely real and what is not... Ours is a big boy at over 7". -
David Attenborough visited this once and I decided to go there just for that. Some of them are reconstructions and some of them are real. Ofcourse I was not allowed to look at real ones in storage, any paleontologists here from Baden Würrtemburg ( maybe @Ludwigia) can tell. Has a geological mapping of the German state around Rhine river.

Hey there, I would love to know something about a fossil i found in Germany. I would really appreciate it if anyone knew what kind of fossil this is and how old it could be. It has a round shape and this "pattern" all around it. Thanks for Your help

Dear fellow forum members, some years ago I acquired some remnants of an old collection with poor documentation, most fossils where from germany. Among these was a gastropod shell in very light matrix I assumed to be lignite or something similar. Yesterday I found a very similar shell for sale online with the following ID: "Schnecke, Mesontopsis nehringi, Tertiär, Pliozän,Tagenbau Hambach" "Tagebau" is open pit mining, lignite in that case. The one on red background is mine. I think I can assume they are the same species. I just cannot find any information on

From the album: some vertebrates from our collection
another rare and very small pipefish, Doryramphus, from famous pit Frauenweiler near Wiesloch / Darmstadt / SW-Germany. Oligocene. Might be these fishes had been not so rare as it was told, but they are tiny (1 - 5 cm), slender and not easy to discover. This one is around 4 cm-

I just went to a local rock and fossil shop in Montana and they had an amazing selection of fossils for really reasonable prices, so I ended up getting quite a few. They had a lovely Solnhofen rack, mostly filled with fish, insects, and coprolites and some beautiful squid but I saw this questionable creature in the corner for very cheap so I decided it was worth it to purchase. I am guessing it is a jellyfish due to the shape, and I hope it is, but if it is something else, I really did not waste my money. It's around an inch and a half in diameter (4cm.) Just hoping it's not a coprolite lol. A

Germany is one of the top fossil-hunting destinations in Europe, having plenty of easy-to-access, highly productive localities that are visited every day by experienced collectors and families alike. The Swabian Jura (or Swabian Alb) region (southwestern Germany, near Stuttgart) has a highly significant geological heritage, which is part of the network of the UNESCO Global Geoparks since 2015. The most popular destination within the park is the area around the village of Holzmaden. In the early 20th century, several quarries dotted the area. Nowadays, the mining operations ha

For the Germans out there: what is an area in Germany that is particularly suitable for finding fossils? Or that you were lucky in finding fossils? I'm new to this so I don't really know how to search for the rocks in the area or what type of rocks are suitable for finding fossils. I live in Darmstadt, Hessen and would like to take a trip to a place in Germany to search for fossils this winter. Also, if someone knows this additional information too, where can I search for nice pieces of minerals in Germany? Thank you!

L.S., I recently purchased an old collection of plant fossils. The boxes also contained an odd couple of non-plants, which I would like to offer up for trade. Ideally, I would like to get some plant fossils in return. Photos below, with scale in centimetres at bottom. Disclaimer: The information below is "as received". I cannot guarantee provenance/identifications are 100% correct since these pieces come from an old collection, plus marine beasties are not really my cup of tea... Kind regards, Tim Specimen A: Large plate with several ammonites
