A Trip to the Rhaetic


Welsh Wizard

Recommended Posts

Picked this big chunk of fresh rhaetic bone bed up today. It was twice the size when I found it but I was a butter fingers and dropped it accidentally and the other half disintegrated. Doh.

 

Its a nice early Christmas present. If you look carefully, there’s a whopper of a plesiosaur vert in there.

I’ll post some more pictures when I start digging into it.

Can you please point out that vert? I'm not sure if I'm seeing it.


hi Roger

 

its in the top left of the block. It’s really hard to photograph due to the contrast not being fantastic.

 

here’s a photo from the side but I’ll try and take some better ones tomorrow:

Wow! What do you use to 'rough it out'?

"Its webs of living gauze no more unfurl;

Wrecked is the ship of pearl!

And every chambered cell,

Where its dim dreaming life was wont to dwell" :ammonite01:
