Dear TFF members, I have bought a lot of fossils from Buttenheim, Germany, Lias epsilon. The seller said that there are bones and teeth, but there were no labels attached, so I need to ID them The first one comprises belemnites and? Brachiopods? Belemnite is 8 cm, potential brachiopods - 2, 3 cm in diameter. Then a piece with a paddle bone of Ichtiozaur? Potential paddle bone 1x1.5 cm. A bivalve? 1 cm A single vert - could be of Ichtiozaur? 6cm in diameter Then several pieces with teeth - of what? The smallest one is 0.5 cm, the biggest - 1.3 cm. Two pieces with bones? 3.5 cm and 4 .5 cm.

Goniodonts - strange echinozoan teeth from the Carboniferous
TqB posted a topic in Member Collections
I was surprised to see this specimen for auction and pleased to win it. It's Anguloserra thomasi, a rare tooth from an ophiocistioid echinoderm and comes from the same locality as the holotype described here (abstract only): Haude & Langenstrassen 1976. I've been interested in these since finding three similar specimens in the UK that took a while to identify - shown in the next post. It's preserved as an impression - most material in this matrix is decalcified. Carboniferous, upper Mississippian, Culm beds (equivalent of Brigantian and Arnsbergian beds in UK), Aprath, Germany. Scale in mm. Here's the holotype from the linked paper (a latex cast):

A nice block of ammonites from the Gräfenberg quarry. Although not very visible on the pictures, the ammonites are actually of a nice dark green, thanks to the glauconite present.

Hi All, The family and I are heading to Europe next year, and as part of the trip we will be in Frankfurt and will visit the Senckenberg (I went 3 years ago and fully geeked out!). While there we are planning a trip to the Messel Pit. If anyone has any tips to get the most of the visit to the Pit, or any other sites near Frankfurt that are worth visiting then I'd love to hear about them. We will also be going to Innsbruck and Basel (Switzerland), so if anyone knows of any good locations to visit then I'd also love to hear about them. Also, it would probably be good to know about the laws regarding fossils, etc, in these countries - so if anyone knows I'd really appreciate it. Brett.

Today I finished prepping a little Ichthyosaur caudal vertebra from Holzmaden. Too bad I didn't took any pictures of the unprepped vert but I did a lot I prepped it with my air pen and with my new sandblasting machine. I am very happy about this tool Here it is: It's very small with a length of 1.2 cm. Hope you like it

Hi guys, last week I started studying so I don't have much time at the moment and because of that I can't be very active here. Nevertheless I could go hunting last weekend (related to my eighteenth birthday (so why I am still a youth member?? )). I was in a quarry near Stuttgart where you can find fossils from the Triassic. Looking for bones and teeth in the "Bonebed" there is quite strenuous but it makes always fun! Especially if you find something good And my best find was this lungfish tooth (Ceratodus): Never found something like that before so I am quite happy with it! It's about 2.5 cm long and I prepped it with my air pen and with my new sandblasting machine! The prep work took about 1 hour. I can't really estimate how rare such a find is but maybe @Pemphix can say more! Thanks for viewing

Leaping Lizards, is this Fossiliferous Limestone, or am I delusional... (wait, please don't answer)

Wow... so I am learning too much stuff. This is a very dangerously addictive website. One more... a stab at an accurate id.... (ID = identification, not intentionally Freudian despite more than an occasional slip?)
