From the album: Russian Upper Volgian ammonites
Craspedites parakaschpuricus, Samara Oblast, Kashpir, nodiger zone. 7 cm -
Hi all! You know I visit my favorite Volga river site (Ulyanovsk Oblast) more or less often, but this time I decided to give a try to another well-known Jurassic-Cretaceous site on the Volga river, located in the nearby Samara Oblast (city of Syzran). It's famous for its iridescent ammonites as well as marine reptile finds. I hoped to discover a real alternative to the Ulyanovsk site particularly as the conditions are very similar: surface collecting on river bank. Here the Ulyanovsk site is to the north, Syzran to the south. The latter is home to two distinct locations: in the city itself (Oxfordian-Volgian, 2km) and by the Kashpir village (to the south): Volgian to Barremian, 4 km.
