I went to the Zandmotor recently while visiting The Netherlands and wanted some clarity on some of my finds. I found a number of shells, two fish vertebrae, and two different mammalian bone fragments. This, however, is all I can make of any of them, and would appreciate more specific ID's if anyone out there knows. The shells should be middle Pleistocene (if they're not actually recent shells lol), and everything else (likely) late Pleistocene. Thank you! Fish Verts: Perhaps not fossil-- Baltic Macoma? Not sure about this either (whelk?), lovely shell either way: Mammal Chunk 1: Mammal Chunk 2: Mammal Chunk 1 again: More Shells (Oysters, a gastropod, and a cockle (I think)):

I drove out to my fossil shed yesterday. I can also see now that I do not belong on the road with a stick shift and clutch! Being that my left foot is numb I also hit the break instead of the clutch a few times! But, made it back home alive with lots of fossil boxes and spent the rest of the day going through them. That,,, was a ton of fun unwrapping and seeing some rather nice fossils for the first time in about 13 years. Here are some of my yesterday finds from the Fossil Shed. Was told this was dino poo? First Aturia I ever found. So glad to have found this beauty again! Aa block of coral I found in Idaho when the kids were young. A sinohydrosaur i bough the day after the two towers went down. Very surreal that day! Opalized belemnite from Australia. A super nice fish from Brazil I still need to finish. Happy to see this guy again! Comptoni vinctifer? and yet another mammoth tooth. This one is quite nice!!! Lots of other stuff but this is some of the better ones. RB
