Everhardus Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 41 minutes ago, Ludwigia said: I also can't figure out what this one might be. It looks like a Choffatia from the front, but what throws me is the channel between the ribs on the keel. Normally they run continuously from one side to the other, as they normally do with Homeoplanulites as well. Maybe it's an anomally or maybe there is a species I don't know about which has this structure on the inner whorls before the ribs come together later. By the way, the Callovian bivalve is a nicely preserved Chlamys textoria. Anyway, Marcel, it looks like you did very well at that site! And you did a good job at prepping them as well. yes, the Chlamys was a nice surprise ! About the ID, sure the channel between the ribs was apparent compared to the rest of them. Preservation was also different, a lot more delicate..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i guess Schlegelmilch is my source for ID-ing this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everhardus Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 This weekend i finally finished this one from the Aalenien site. The ammonite was found by Roger, broken in 2 pieces and i needed to do a minor repair where some of the outer whorl was missing. This matrix is hard as hell and filled with shell remains which sometimes lay on top of the fossil which are not at all easy to abrade. But i think it has been worth the effort, i’m more than happy with this one. It’s about 9 cm, so a nice display piece ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everhardus Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 This one is much smaller, found by my wife. Not as spectacular as the one above but still a keeper ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 @Everhardus Nice to see you finally got them done. They do require a lot of patience and finesse, but they're always worth it in the end. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Everhardus Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 A tiny ammo with shell preservation from the Aubachtal. Matrix very similar from the Sheffheu site so i'm guessing Aalenian as well.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 Nice little gems there. The Aubach find is indeed Aalenian: Ancolioceras (formerly Staufenia) opalinoides. The echinoid is a Pygomalus ovalis. Well preserved for this site. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Roger, do you have a specimen of Pygomalus ovalis well preserved ? I am interested in seeing a pic because I don't know this species. On the sea urchin I can see a trivium, I suppose it has a bivium too. I would have thought of Collyrites...
