Because of private reasons i didnt post much lately but now i found some time to post my teeth-finds from last Sunday in Holzmaden. There were lots of good-looking material and the weather was great ! Best circumstances to collect I was about 3 or 4 hours in the quarry Kromer (Lower Jurassic) and found some good stuff. As doushantuo says (here: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/73430-three-new-teeth-from-holzmaden/ ) the preparation was a serious dental work Firstly this nice Ichthyosaurus tooth: With a length of 1 cm its not the longest tooth but it has a nice strukture ! The next one is my ere biggest tooth ever from Holzmaden! Its a 2.6 cm long Steneosaurus tooth (at least i think that its a croc tooth). The preparation was very hard and took about 6 hours ... Here is the result:

I want to show three teeth from Holzmaden (Lower Jurassic). I prepped them today although the first one is an older find (but also from this year). The first one is a very small tooth (0.8cm) but well preserved. I am not sure with the determination ... maybe Ichthyosaurus ? The second one is bigger with a length of 1.2 cm. Shadefully its not well preserved and a part is missing Its a crocodile tooth (Steneosaurus): And the last one is the most beautifully tooth ! Its large with a length of 2.1 cm but very thin and i think also a crocodile tooth. It was very to prep this one and i think you can see my mistakes In the middle of the tooth i lost some material Otherwise it would be one of the best tooth in my collection ! Hope you enjoyed and thanks for viewing!

I want to show you some impressions of a short visit in the fossil museum near Dotternhausen. Here is the homepage (in german): http://www.holcim-sued.de/werkforum-fossilienmuseum.html Its one of my favourite museums because there you can see mainly fossils from the "Posidionschiefer". There exists also a quarry for visitors but its closed during winter ... The museum is not that big but also not too small and the entry is free ! Some fossils from the "Posidionschiefer": A huge and spectacular block with crinoids: Detailed (Seirocrinus): There were also many fishes, but i am not satisfied with my photos (they are extremely bad) The Ichthyosaurus fossils were the most interesting for me so here are some pictures ..
