8cm. hypselocylum zone Early Kimmeridgian Lacunosamergel Formation Sponge facies From the Upper Danube Valley -
Over the years I've posted quite a few reports on my finds from the ditch in the Kimmeridgian in the upper Danube valley. Although it's over 40 miles away, I decided it was time to take a tour down there on my (battery powered) bike. It was a great trip, although I'm of course pretty tuckered out today. The site, or at least the exposures I was working, is pretty well cleaned out by now, but there is still a chance of finding another exposure in the next lower zone by moving on down the ditch and picking away. I have found a bit on the odd visit over the last year or so, but not all that much, since the preservation is mostly too soft and flatly pressed. This time I managed to find a spot where the matrix is more concretionary and harder, which heighten the chances of finding some better preserved fossils. I only spent about an hour and a half there, but this time some nice things came out, so I didn't mind the bit of extra weight on the return trip. I guess I'll be going back there again soon, but next time with the car Taramelliceras sp. Bathrotomaria sp. gastropod with 3 Streblites tenuilobatus ammos. Could have repaired it, but I decided to leave it as is. Streblites tenuilobatus Rasenia sp. PS. Here's the bike.

At the moment I have the pleasure of accompanying TFF member Jeffrey P and 2 friends on their fossil hunting forage over here in Germany. I've given them a few tips and also managed to free myself up for the day yesterday and took them to the Kimmeridgian site in the upper Danube valley for a bit of digging and delving. I think they were quite content with the experience since they treated me to a nice meal at their hotel afterwards Also Jeff's friend Ralph was nice enough to pass on a well-preserved Taramelliceras sp. ammonite to me as a token of thanks which he had found. He noticed how enthused I was by it, so he graciously offered it to me. At first I thought it was a particular species which I've never found in the divisum zone before, but I realized after closer scrutiny at home that it's rather a Taramelliceras compsum, which occurs there occasionally. Nevertheless, I'm happy to be in posession of it, since it's the largest and best preserved one I have to date and it also distinctly shows the well preserves calcified siphuncle.
