Jeffrey P Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Great report. In the heart of Moscow is a gem of a site requiring extensive labor to extract some gorgeous fossils. I'm enjoying viewing them. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you have to sift for hours to find a single tooth, fish or reptile alike Awesome finds, though!

RuMert Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 Thanks for looking I'm going to post the 3rd part of the story: another fossil layer, not as rich as the previous, but it has it's own charm My sites & reports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmwilson101 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Amazing! I imagine you were pretty muddy riding home! But completely worth it. Thanks for sharing. I especially like the bivalves. And the photo of Москва through the trees is gorgeous. 1 Cheers, Cheryl “It is perhaps a more fortunate destiny to have a taste for collecting shells than to be born a millionaire.” ~RL Stevenson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuMert Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Thanks for the new posts! Another ammo from there. Not the best preservation, but unusual that most of it even survived. Lomonossovella lomonossovi, a species that could reach big sizes, Epivirgatites nikitini ammonite zone. Biggest ammo you can find in Moscow The picture below (not mine) was taken in Yaroslavl oblast, home of the biggest Lomonossovellas I'll add the mysterious tooth I asked for ID assistance, it's from this site too: 4 My sites & reports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
