Hi all! Here's a short trip report to show the diversity of fossil hunting conditions in the Jurassic. We have very few places with large inflated mid-Oxfordian ammonites, most of them are shown below. The red mark is on the site I discuss. It's on the Volga too, but much less accessible and productive than others. The site is situated some 10km to the east of Kineshma, a not-so-rich middle-sized town. I visited it in various seasons but couldn't catch a suitable water level. The shore is either under snow or the water is already high and remains high throughout the year.

Hey guys, Last year I found a nice ammonite in Switzerland and decided to prepare it a few weeks back! It’s more specifically from the Valais region , at Le Col de de la Plaine morte. I don’t know too much about that site, but I think it is Oxfordian. I really have no idea what the ID is, I would love to know it so I could enter it for FOTM! Thanks all!

Hi all! As you could know from my previous reports we have several mid-Oxfordian sites around Moscow, which are not the best ammonite-wise, but yield well-preserved gastropods and bivalves. Shchurovo quarry is one of the best thanks to its enormous spoil piles and less popularity among hobbyists. It's situated in the outskirts of the historic city of Kolomna, one of the preferred Muscovites' weekend destinations (also home to pastila if you know what it is). The quarry is situated some 100km from Moscow. Kolomna old center: Main buildings are made from the local limestone. Kolomna kolachi: Old city wall:
