In this thread I wanna share some fossils from Holzmaden, which I found partly years ago but prepped recently with my new tools. I will not show only bones but also belemnites and other fossils from Holzmaden. All the finds are from the quarry Kromer. Hopefully I will be able to extend this thread step by step! So for today I want to show three bones from the posidionia shale from Holzmaden. Firstly this 3 cm long Ichthyosaur vertebra. Here is a picture of the unprepped piece: As you can see there was only the cross section visible so it was a kinda hard work. I think until now the prep took about 2 hours and I will probably prep it a bit more... but here is a picture of the current state of the vertebra: I am very satisfied with the result until now! Especially because I didn't lost too much of the fossil material in the areas where I had to glue it.

Today I finished prepping a little Ichthyosaur caudal vertebra from Holzmaden. Too bad I didn't took any pictures of the unprepped vert but I did a lot I prepped it with my air pen and with my new sandblasting machine. I am very happy about this tool Here it is: It's very small with a length of 1.2 cm. Hope you like it

A 1.2 cm long Ichthyosaur caudal vertebra from the quarry Kromer in Holzmaden (Posidionia shale, Lower Jurassic). Some more pictures: The prep took about 1 hour and I used an air pen and a sandblasting machine. -

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

This piece was found by me two years ago in the Kromer Quarry near Holzmaden and was prepped by Roger Furze ( @Ludwigia ). 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 isn't preserved. Isolated bones are not that rare in Holzmaden but such pieces are very rare! It could be a skull of a juvenile.

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 1.2 cm long Steneosaurs (crocodile) tooth from the quarry Kromer near Holzmaden (Lower Jurassic). Because the tooth is that filigree I didnt prep it further. Another image: -

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) -

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: -

A very nice Temnodontosaurus tooth from the quarry Kromer near Holzmaden (Lower Jurassic). Temnodontosaurus was a huge Ichthyosaur. The tooth is about 2 cm long and 1 cm wide. So its one of my biggest tooth from Holzmaden ! In the "Schlacke" (a specific layer) you can sometimes find smaller teeth but such big teeth in a good condition are very rare. Some more pictures: -
Last Saturday I found an interesting looking bone in the quarry Kromer near Holzmaden (Lower Jurassic). Its about 4 cm long and extremely thin. Because of that I would say that I have found a bone of a pterosaur. But that would be a rare find at a place where you can find mainly marine fossils. (A friend of mine found some bones and even two pterosaur teeth "recently"). So can somebody confirm that idea or have another idea? Thanks for your help Here it is:

Yesterday I was again in the quarry Kromer near Holzmaden (Lower Jurassic) and I found a really nice tooth ! The tooth is about 2 cm long and 1 cm wide ! I think its one of the biggest tooth I have ever found ! Its a Temnodontosaurus tooth, which is a large Ichthyosaur. In the "Schlacke" (a specific layer) you can sometimes find smaller teeth but such big teeth in a good condition are very rare. I am really happy about this one Especially because there wasnt much material there, so it was a lucky find ! The prep took about 4 hours. - The quarry, where I find this teeth will close during winter so the tooth is also a great completion of this year !
