  1. Our fossil shed is finally done, with the last work of the carpenter to install a door and the last bits of insulation. So now it is time to clean up the place and reorganise a little. This weekend I took a selection of my best material out from the Lompret quarry in Belgium and started to reorganise it. Most of it are Gephuroceratidea goniatites like Manticoceras sp. And Crickites sp. , but also some Oncoceridea, Orthocones, crinoids, placoderm and more. I’ll be taking more pictures this week when I keep on filling the cabinets. pics on both sides from the 1st table: 2nd table: time to fill up the cabinets: The Manticoceras sp. cabinet: ( close up's will follow )

    Well preserved goniatite prep.

    Lately Natalie is surpassing me on finding cephalopods. It is not every day that we find a Crickites sp. In the field, let alone a well preserved specimen with the living chamber. So I went to work to prep her precious find: It was a very promising looking specimen and it lived up to the expectations. Crickites sp. Late Devonian ( Frasnian ) Matagne formation Chimay area ( Belgium )
  3. On a recent fieldtrip I found a verry large and promising looking goniatite. The center of the specimen was covered in claystone. I tried a combination of mechanical prep with air scribe and treatment with potassium hydroxide. Removing matrix as close to the fossil as possible and then treating it with potassium hydroxide. I repeated this process a few times until I managed to clear out the whole center of the fossil. before and after pictures: Crickites sp. Frasnian ( Late Devonian) Belgium
  4. Manticocerasman

    Devonian cephalopod collection

    I finaly got around putting all my best cephalopods specimens that I collected over the past 4 years in the frasnian of southern Belgium on there place in the cabinets. They all come from the same location. (except an orthocone and a receptaculites from the same age but from a different spot ) most of it has already been posted in individual posts, but this gives an overal vieuw of the part of the collection on display. Enjoy al the Manticoceras, Crickites, Tornoceras, Bactrites, Orthocones and more
  5. It has been a while since we went to my favorite hunting spot near Chimay in Belgium, so I was realy eager to go back when we got there we had a little surprise, the whole back of the quarry was transformed in a motor cicle trail, apparantly this sunday there wil be a race and a lot of the bikers were prospecting the trail on foot in preparation of the race. luckily this didnt hinder us on our search, and this opend even opportunities since they dug through some of the stoone piles to make the trail thus revieling new material to go through, although we were careful not to dammage the trail. my first find was a strange large nodule covered in mud, at first vieuw it looked to be a big goniatite, and since it was found near the car I directly put it in the trunk without giving it further ispection. after looking on the sides of the new tracks we went to the big scree where we usually hunt, the heavy rains from the past few weeks cleared a lot out and we did find a few very well preserved goniatites. On the top of the scree pile Natalie found a huge specimen: a goniatite of around 40cm an not far from it I found a 2nd large one . we had a very sccesful field trip today with great wether conditions ( mabey a little to hot ) and excelent finds. my biggest surprise was when I drove home, I stopped at a self carwash to clean of the mud of the big specimens with a high pressure cleaner. The first mud coverd nodule that I put in the car wasn't a goniatite, but a nodule with 3 nautiloids on it, 2 incomplete, but a big one in the center. A vieuw on the race track: A toad hiding in the rubble. Natalie at the spot where she found the big goniatite: the huge specimen she found: and a 2nd one : A lot of life in the pools in the quarry: A realy nice Manticoceras sp waiting for me more shales and limestone to go through: A stop for water and snacks after the hunt, and of course a lot of local beers on sale "Chimay" beer: the large specimens after the high pressure cleaner: the surprise Nautiloids after the mud was removed: I still have alot of unpacking to do and prepp work in the next few days. I'll post updates in this post.
