The find was made in the Upper Jura of southwest Germany in the area of a silicified coral stock and prepared from limestone with acetic acid. According to my own assessment, it could be fragments of vertebrate bones: humerus, scapula/coracoid (all mineralized) and possibly an imprint of a metacarpus (imprint). I think the composite location of the putative bones suggests the remains of an Upper Jurassic vertebrate. The macro images also show that the humerus bone is hollow; inside with quartzite crystals. In addition, the macro images show fossil web-like structures that look similar to pneumatic bone tissue of Jurassic vertebrates. When various experts for German Upper Jurassic (Kimmeridgian), three different expertises were submitted: a) Vertebrate remains b) Iron concretions c) rest of sponges (silicified) Now I'm curious about the opinion of the experts from this forum.

I'm really stumped with this one. Also found at the local shark tooth site in southern Germany near the Lake of Constance. It is hollow, filled with sediment and the "shell", or whatever it is, is just 2mm. thick. The patterns with the recurring isosceles triangles are intrigueing, but I really have no idea what this could be. It looks like it would have had a conical shape if it was complete. 4cm. wide at the base and 3cm. in height. I'd be very interested to hear your opinions on this.

Actually, it's not MY site. It's freely available for everyone and I do meet up with some enthusiasts there occasionally, but usually I just pedal out there on my bike and enjoy the peace and quiet. The most active creatures at this place are actually the wood ants in the summertime when they like to climb up inside my pants. I was there again today and this time I took along my camera for posterity's sake. Continued...
