hello, does anyone know what is this? I know it's from southern Germany or Austria mountain areas. Got it together with several ammonites and sea floor sediments parts. The possible fossil is around 9 cm long and 5 wide. Thank you

Hi everyone. I received this ichthyosaur tooth from holzmaden, probably ohmden quarry, but I can't identify the genus. in the holzmaden area there are many species of Ichthyosaur. Maybe the most common is Stenopterygius. Can anyone help me identify this tooth please? Size approximately 1,5 cm

Upper Muschelkalk Crailsheim material, can I use acid for prepping?
Fossilcollector88 posted a topic in Fossil Preparation
Hello, I have some bonebed material from: Gr. Gröningen Crailsheim, Germany Triassic, Ipper Muschelkalk. its a Nothosaur bone sticking out, but a small part is in another stone (piece broke before I acquired it). I tried to scratch it out, but that will takes ages and doesnt seem to look too good. I heard about acid prepping, would that be a good idea with this? Its similar stuff as: http://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/111818-lets-talk-blezingeria/ if so, how to go at this? Anyone has experience with this? -

Horseshoe Crab with Modest Color Enhancement
Lucid_Bot posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This piece is supposedly a horseshoe crab ( Mesolimulus walchii) from the Solnhofen limestone of Germany. It is Jurassic and the description says there has only been mild color enhancement. Is this fossil real? Any fabrication? Thanks for the answers!

Six-Pack Trilobite
piranha posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
After a two year hiatus another amazing trilobite has recently been named in my honor. This time the Great German Trilobitologist: Martin Basse has bestowed Koneprusia morrisoni upon yours truly. The holotype for K. morrisoni was discovered in the Devonian (late Upper Emsian) Leun Shale of Löhnberg, Germany. The genus Koneprusia was established by Prantl & Přibyl 1949, based on the original description of Acidaspis fuscina Novák 1883, and named for the village of Koněprusy near Beroun; a classic locality of the Devonian fauna of the Czech Republic. The title 'Six-Pack Trilobite' is quite apropos: it was six years ago in 2017 when I was first informed of this new species, and now by luck of the draw, the sixth species to carry my name. As all trilobite aficionados are familiar with Koneprusia originating from Morocco, I'm very grateful to have the privilege to share this spectacular spiny variant from Deutschland.

Hello everybody, Just a quick introduction of myself. My name is Max and I am currently in my third years of my Bsc in earth science. My home university is the university of Bordeaux in France and right now I'm studying in Bergen Norway for one semester. Now to my initial question (I hope that is the right place to post). Does anybody know some great places for fossil hunting in Bergen Norway or in the Eifel/Hunsrück area in Germany? I know that in Bergen there are not that many fossils. In the Eifel region of Germany I was hoping somebody might know a spot to search for trilobites, ... I couldn't find any information about good spots in the internet.

From the album: My Echinoid Collection
Diademopsis crinifera Shale Plates Tafelfleins Bed, Posidonia Shale Early Toarcian Age, Early Jurassic (~183 Ma) Holzmaden, Baden-Württemberg, Germany Acquired online, September 2023 A neat couple of black shale plates containing several fragmented specimens of this Early Jurassic echinoid. There are at least 8 notable specimens between the plates, some having associated spines, as well as some smaller test fragments and some loose spines. These urchins are quite small, with the largest ones only being around 1cm (.3937 inches) in diameter. -
