Hi all! This is a small trip report from a quarry by the town of Mikhaylov, Ryzan Oblast, situated in 200 km from Moscow. The place is very well known among the public interested in fossils, especially ammonite collectors. There are 4 quarries in a tight group, operated by different companies. Mikhaylov quarry is the most famous of them. The experience is very similar to that of other Callovian - Oxfordian quarries (in my previous reports), but ammonites suddenly take the place of gastropods! Pretty exciting, isn't it? Unfortunately there are not many spoil piles as Jurassic overburd

Taxonomy according to Hao et al 2009. Hao et al. 2009, p223: “Revised diagnosis: Body length: 6-13 mm: wing length 8.2-15.6 mm Sc ending at wing margin approximately the same as R4+5 forking into R4 and R5; R1 long, r-r at one -third of its length before the end of R1; R2+3 shorter than R3; R4+5 short, R4+5 fork six times longer than dR4+5. M1 smoothly curved, m-m joining close to M1+2 bifurcations. M3+4 with a little bend at m-m. CuA slightly sigmoid beyond m-cu; A1 strongly curved to wing margin in two-thirds of its length.” Wing line drawing from Hao et al. 2009, p.225:

My first hunt at Liesberg, Switzerland, on October 24th
pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Last sunday October 24th I decided to visit the old Andil clay quarry at Liesberg in Switzerland, just over two hours driving from where I live, to see what fossils I might find there. Now a nature reserve where collecting is tolerated as long as the natural parts are not disturbed, the deposits at this quarry, mined for cement production between 1934 and 1980, date to the Upper Callovian and Lower to Middle Oxfordian (source). It is thus stratigraphically - though not petrologically - comparable to the geology of Vaches Noires in Normandy, with which I'm much more familiar, albeit with the in- 18 replies

I found this fossil gastropod on an auction site and I really liked it. But the information is a bit confusing. On the title it states that it is Cretaceous but in the description of the seller it says "Cretaceous-Oxfordian-160 MYA". Oxfordian is a period from the Jurassic, not the Cretaceous. The locality & species (theres 2 species) Location: Kostroma Region Russia Species: Pictavia laevigata & Exelissa quinariia .

I have these unidentified ammonites, and I would like to know what they are. I believe that the second one is Desmoceras latidorsatum, comparing it with internet photos. The first one is from the Oxfordian of Charente (France), and the other I don't know. 1.- Oxfordian, Charente (France). 2.- Look at suture lines. Thanks!

Hi everybody, i recently went on an Oxfordian site and wondered about that ammonite. I thought it was a Taramelliceras dentostriatum but the opening seems different. This, i hesitate between Taramelliceras dentostriatum and proscaphites. It's average size is about two centimeters. What do you think guys ? @Ludwigia ?
