BVP Fieldschool to Poland (09/07/2022 - 17/07/2022)
ziggycardon posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi everyone! I have just returned from a fieldschool to Poland which was organized by the BVP (Belgium Society for Paleontology) in association with the Universities of Opole and Gdansk. The fieldschool started on the 9th july and ended on july 17. The first 2-3 days of the trip took place in the historic city of Gdansk which lies by the Baltic Sea where the main focus was on Baltic Amber. This included lectures, workshops, a small museum tour and some trips to the beach in search for amber. For the 2nd part of the trip we travelled to the south towards Opole and more specifically the Jurapark and digsite in Krasiejow where we had multiple lectures, workshops, and fieldwork in both Krasiejow and other quarries in the area. So in this topic I wanted to make a day by day report on this amazing trip and experience. Since we travelled by car I only returned yesterday evening so most of the finds still have to be photographed/prepped so expect them somewhere at the end of this topic (which might also take a few days to complete.) -
Hey everyone, Someone on reddit posted this great-looking oyster, asking for ID. And I can’t figure it out. The hinge looks really weird to me and inconsistent with the usual Ostrea oysters I see... They said it was excavated from a construction site about 12 years ago in the city of Wroclaw (Poland), near the Odra/Oder River. Which means there isn’t any literature about the age/formation/etc. Only thing I could find is this geological map that puts the area in Tertiary sediments (which is logical but not very helpful). Anyone have an idea of what to say about this shell? Age and formation would be great, and genus (or species but I’m not getting my hopes up that high) also. Maybe @Kasia you’ve come across some of them? Thanks in advance! Max
