Two weeks ago I visited a very nice quarry near Gundelfingen (Danube) where you can find fossils from the white Jurassic ("Obere Felsenkalk"). From there you have a beautiful view and you can find nice fossils, for example sea urchins, brachiopods and crinoid stems. I was there about 4 hours and it took a time until I found my first sea urchin (fossil). They are rare there and you must have a healthy back and very good eyes ! Firstly some impressions of the quarry: In this topic I want to put my focus on the sea urchins but here are some brachiopods (Terebratula): Now the sea urchins; They are not that nice and often very shabby but I am happy to find those remains ! I think I have found more or less two types of echinoids: 1. Glypticus sulcatus: I have already find one on my first visit there: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/73558-my-newest-find/ They are mostly very small and its difficult to see them ! This time I found two: They are both about 1.5 cm long. Here is a detailed picture of the one on matrix: 2. Plegiocidaris I found only parts of those echinoids but I am nonetheless satisfied ! Here is the first one: It was quiete big but the fragment is 3.2 cm long. Another part:

Last Friday i visited some quarries near Gundelfingen (Danube). In the Upper Marine Molasse (do i say this right?) i found some beautiful oysters but i also was in a quarry where you can find fossils from the white jurassic. There i found some bivalves, brachiopods and this ... A sea urchin with a length of 1cm I know that many of you have lots of sea urchins but for me its a nice find ! Firstly they are rare here in my area and that is only my second sea urchin, which i found in my life Shadefully the urchin is damaged but can somebody determine this one? Another picture: Please dont make fun of this shabby specimen Thanks for your interest !

Yesterday i was in the nice quarry Moldenberg near Heidenheim. There you can find many fossils from the White jurassic. I found some bivalves, different types of brachiopods and also some crinoid stems. But i will post the whole trip with more finds and also with pictures of the location later .... I just have a question regarding this strange thing: Its 0.75 cm long and about 0.3 cm thick. It has also a very strange structure like you can see on the photos .... maybe a part of a starfish ? I have never seen something else before .... hopefully someone can help me ! Some more pictures: Thanks for your help !
