From the album: Holzmaden
This is a kinda funny combination out of a fish bone and a very rare pterosaur bone. The fish bone is the bigger one (5 cm long) and is lying on the top of the pterosaur bone. The piece comes from the quarry Kromer near Holzmaden (Lower Jurassic). As these are marine deposits you can imagine how rare the pterosaur bone is Some very bad detailed pictures: (sorry for the bad quality but my camera is not good enough) -
From the album: Holzmaden
This is a 10 cm long part of an Ichthyosaur rib from the quarry Kromer near Holzmaden. As you can see its kinda damaged. Firstly it was already damaged as i found it and secondly the preparation wasnt optimal as well. Normally you prep these bones from Holzmaden with air abrasive but I only have an air pen. So I damaged it a bit further.- 8 comments

From the album: Holzmaden
This fossil was found by me two years ago in the visitor quarry Kromer near Holzmaden and was prepped by Roger Furze ( @Ludwigia ). Thanks again On the piece you can see a disarticulated Ichthyosaur skull with some ribs and vertebrae. You can see one eyehole very good, although the eye itself isnt preserved. Isolated bones are not that rare in Holzmaden but such pieces are very rare ! At the maximum the piece is about 24 cm long. Unprepped: Prepped: The eyehole is very good visible: (Probably my favourite part ) The other eyehole: Some more bones: A vertebra: This one could be from a juvenile which is very rare! -

A not so bad 1.5 cm long Steneosaurus tooth from the quarry Kromer near Holzmaden. The prep work was very hard because the tooth is quite fragile. Another picture: -

I want to show you some impressions of a short visit in the fossil museum near Dotternhausen. Here is the homepage (in german): http://www.holcim-sued.de/werkforum-fossilienmuseum.html Its one of my favourite museums because there you can see mainly fossils from the "Posidionschiefer". There exists also a quarry for visitors but its closed during winter ... The museum is not that big but also not too small and the entry is free ! Some fossils from the "Posidionschiefer": A huge and spectacular block with crinoids: Detailed (Seirocrinus): There were also many fishes, but i am not satisfied with my photos (they are extremely bad) The Ichthyosaurus fossils were the most interesting for me so here are some pictures ..
