I was recently asked to do a review on a recently published book about the Fossils of the Alpstein, an area in Switzerland south of the southern shores of the Lake of Constance, where the highest peak is the Säntis. It was of particular interest to me, since it's not all that far away from home and I had already been up that mountain a few times, not realizing that there were fossils to be found there off the beaten path. So, after studying the possibilities given in the book, I settled on a visit to the so-called Kamm Bank, a Member of the Albian/Cenomanian Garschella Formation, where I was hoping to be able to find some of the heteromorph ammonites, Turrilites. I took the cable car up and got out at the 2nd support, from where I was able, with the help of directions given to me by one of the authors, to find the exposure within a half an hour. Here's where I got out. And here's a view of the peak with its picture book folds. I spent a good 4 hours exploring the exposure, which stretched away from the point where I entered it down the hill for quite a distance. It's the darkly colored bank in the middle of the picture below. I got in at the top of it and made my way down to the point where I took the photo. I tried reducing it, but that didn't work at getting the whole picture in, so I had to turn it, otherwise it wouldn't have fit, so please tilt your head to the left. Sorry 'bout that.
