Hi everyone. I received this ichthyosaur tooth from holzmaden, probably ohmden quarry, but I can't identify the genus. in the holzmaden area there are many species of Ichthyosaur. Maybe the most common is Stenopterygius. Can anyone help me identify this tooth please? Size approximately 1,5 cm

Hi Forum, it's me again i was cracking at home some raw stones i collected from the ohmden (DE) quarry (180 million years old) and i found this tooth. At the beginning it was all cover by rock, it was exposed by 20% so i decided to do my very first preparation (with a lot of fear). It took me 3 whole hours but i managed to not break or damage it, so i'm pretty happy of the result, fear defetead! I will not dig more at the moment to avoid to damage it, i'll probably will perfect this preparation when i will gain more experience in the future, for the moment it is way better than the expectation, so i definitively take it story apart, it is very small, 0.6cm long. My 3 guessing based on the location are 1- Ichthyosaurus (i would not bet on it because the tooth look to thin and the stripes look different) 2- Steneosaurus (i prefer this option) 3- Plesiosaurus but all this suppositions come from my no experience mind Thanks a lot for your help Paolo

Hey everybody! I had an opportunity to visit the Holzmaden area (fantastic museum) and split some rocks at Schieferbruch Kromer in Germany. There were plenty of ammonites and I even managed a few neat belemnite pieces I'm very happy about. But one find has me a bit stumped. It appears to be very thin, and I have the feeling it is some part of an ammonite but I have no clue where it would fit in since it isn't very spirally. The caliper scale for reference is in mm and inches (it's about an inch long). The last 2 photos are at an angle to show some of the relief. If you've got any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them, thanks!
