Welsh Wizard Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 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. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Can you please point out that vert? I'm not sure if I'm seeing it. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Yes, that was the area I was figuring it would be, but it's still hard to make out. I guess you're just going to have to prep it out for us to see, right? Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Welsh Wizard Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 Been roughing it out. Not a lot in it so far. Plenty of coprolites and some fish bits. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welsh Wizard Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Bit more work: You can see a fish jaw and the plesiosaur vert is coming along nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earendil Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Wow! What do you use to 'rough it out'? "Its webs of living gauze no more unfurl; Wrecked is the ship of pearl!
