ø 9.5cm. hypselocylum zone, Early Kimmeridgian, Lacunosamergel Formation, Lochen Subformation, Sponge facies. From the Upper Danube Valley -
The temps are hovering just above 0°C. right now and there were snow showers predicted yesterday. Nevertheles, my wife noticed that I was beginning to show symptoms of cabin fever, so she just mentioned casually that I could take off if I felt like it. So I did. The Wutach is no place to hang out if snow is on the way, so I thought I'd take a chance with the Danube Valley again. There was a bit of snow in between, but just light sleet showers which were really no bother and none of it stayed on the ground, so digging was no problem. I didn't fancy the idea of bailing out the hole in the divisu

Hi all! I was finally able to visit the Volga site thanks to a water level/ good weather window. The journey was mostly a success, I got a better understanding of the site, used new means of transportation and examined more of the shoreline. Among the finds were two dozens of marine reptile verts and bone fragments and LOTS of ammonites and other mollusks. Unfortunately the river level was not low enough, 1m higher than during my 1st trip, 0,5m lower than in the 2nd. But it was at least possible to walk the shore. There's still a lot more to do, but now I have a pretty clear idea how to m

I took another trip yesterday to the Kimmeridgian site in the Danube Valley and continued my dig in the divisum zone. This time I came up with, among other things, a Pseudhimalayites uhlandi ammonite with a diameter of 18cm. These things can get quite large, so I'm dealing with just the phragmocone here. As I've mentioned in other posts, this exposure is in the middle of a sponge reef, so a lot of activity was going on here at the time that this creature hit the dust, so to speak. It landed on a group of sponges and began to deteriorate and deform, revealing the insides of some of the septa, b

Last Thursday I posted a report about a recent dig in the Kimmeridgian here. It was successful enough that I decided today to return and continue with what I had begun. First I had to contend with some water again and then I spent a couple of hours removing more overburden to get at the layer and then started moving shale and concretionary blocks. I made some good finds again, including a very large Crussoliceras. Forgot to take in situ photos of the finds since I was too busy getting excited, with the exception of this very last one as it was starting to get dark.
