Belemnite Phragmocone & part of the Pro-Ostracum, Germany 1.JPG
Dpaul7 posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: MY FOSSIL Collection - Dpaul7
Belemnite Phragmocone and part of the Pro-Ostracum Germany Jurassic Period (201.3-145 million years ago) Belemnitida (or belemnites) is an extinct order of cephalopods which existed during the Mesozoic era, from the Hettangian age of the Lower Jurassic to the Maastrichtian age of the Upper Cretaceous. The belemnite is the state fossil of Delaware. Belemnites studded with small inward-curving hooks used for grasping prey. However, they lacked the pair of specialized tentacles present in modern squid. Belemnites (and other belemnoids) were distinct from modern squid by possessing hard internal skeletons. The internal skeleton was composed of the guard or rostrum (plural: rostra), a heavy solid structure at the posterior of the animals. The rostrum was usually bullet-shaped and projects prominently backward, but in the suborder Belemnotheutina, it was only present as a thin layer. While the inherited camerate portion of the internal skeleton (see below) was of aragonite, the evolutionarily novel rostrum was composed of calcite. Due to its more geologically stable calcite constitution, the rostrum is often the only remains of the animals preserved, often in very large numbers in a given area.

Again, a piece from my fossil buying trip locally! All I know from the store is Germany, Jurrasic, and Ammonite. Any ideas as to a genus? I love this one!

A 1.3 cm long Steneosaurus (crocodile) tooth from the quarry Kromer near Holzmaden (Lower Jurassic). Some more pictures: -
Hello. Found this tooth at a like in southwestern Germany approx. 10 years ago. Can anyone help with the identification? Many thanks in advance.

From the album: Dinosaurs and Reptiles
Partial skeleton of a Middle Triassic marine reptile Anarosaurus (relative of Keichousaurus) from Muschelkalk, Germany. B, C, F, G, H - close-ups of various limb bones and vertebrae D - 2 Anarosaurus teeth E - fish scale I - Nothosaurus mirabilis (?) tooth The last two finds make me think that it is actually a Nothosaurus coprolite with digested Anarosaurus remains and various fish scales. -
A lovely little extra in a collection of Devonian corals that I've recently bought. Heteractinid sponge, Astraeospongium or very similar, from the Givetian (Ahbach Formation, Zerberus Member) of Eifel, Germany. The spicules are up to about 2.5mm across.

Fossil fruit. It's real?
Seguidora-de-Isis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Good evening to all! This fossil is attributed as being a legitimate fossil fruit. According to the seller, it is of the species: Eomastixia saxonica (Pliocene - Germany). This is real?

Dear friends and collectors, I have long wondered if I can, should and would like to part with my good pieces. They gave me a lot of pleasure: digging, finding, preparing and proud presentations for friends, acquaintances and curious people - they leave a lasting impression when they are looked at closely ... so I asked here if it makes sense these pieces to offer here and have followed the advice of an admin to choose another platform - thank you again at this point in you Tim. Nevertheless, I do not want to deprive all interested collectors and friends of the auction. Is anyone here in the forum, the interest in one of the sharks - or maybe both ...? ..., then write me an Personal Message. Thanks Christian Liebe Freunde und Sammler, ich habe lange überlegt, ob ich mich von meinen guten Stücken trennen kann, soll und möchte. Sie haben mir viel Freude bereitet: beim Graben, Finden, Präparieren und stolzen Prräsentationen für Freunde, Bekannte und neugierige Menschen - sie hinterlassen einen bleibenden EIndruck, wenn sie von Nahem betrachtet werden...also ich fragte hier, ob es sinnvoll ist diese Stücke hier anzubieten und habe den Ratschlag eines Admin befolgt, eine andere Plattform zu wählen - vielen Dank nochmal an dieser Stelle bei Dir Tim. Trotzdem möchte ich allen interessierten Sammlern und Freunden die Auktion nicht vorenthalten. Hier ist der Link: Ist jemand hier im Forum, der Interesse an einem der Haie hat - oder beide vielleicht ...?..., dann schreibt mir bitte eine Persönliche Mitteilung. Danke Christian

Orthoceras sp. Early Devonian Early Emsian Bundenbach Germany -
Hi everyone, In 2011, I hunted for fossils in an area which is called the Eifel (Germany). This area is known for it's Devonian fossils, especially trilobites, corals and brachiopods. I have visited the Eifel several times, the last time I went there was 2016. The Eifel is rich of locations to hunt, so in 2011, I went to one of them, a small quarry which was overgrown by many plants. The fossils I discovered that day, were many parts of crinoides and a lot of brachiopods. I'm not sure anymore but I think the rocks of the quarry are Givetian or Eifelian age. When I left the quarry after a few hours, I picked up a stone with a strange structure on it. As a 11 year old, I didn't knew what it was. I posted pictures of it on the Dutch fossil forum last year and I was told that it could be parts of a placoderm, an armored fish. I was excited, because placoderm fossils are very rare in the Eifel. But I am stil not hundred percent sure so I was wondering what you think. Is it fish or is it something else, like a coral? Thanks in advance and greetings, Lars

So most of the Christmas decorations--at least the outside ones are down! and I got sidetracked again when I went into the garage to put the decorations away. Started to move fossil boxes around and found myself looking in the dang things...I was thinking some of this stuff needs to go in a case and started to photograph some of it and make sure the labels were with them. I've still got some work to do but thought I'd show you much of it...could be a few pieces on the other side of the garage but here's the bulk of what I have from Germany... This collection started many years ago and as I've never been there to collect personally my distant relatives immigrated from there and another good friend influenced me with her German collections so thru Gifts, trades and purchases here you go. Hoping there is something in here you havent seen before. File names have Genus and location. Some small vertebrates... An amphibian and similar sized small fish. Most of a dragonfly Some crustaceans from Solnhofen Some plants Some belemnites
