Recommended Posts

Yesterday: fossil hunting with my girlfriend in Limburg.:hammer01: 

Many Cretaceous limestones and good fossil specimens!

Including a really big and complete Pycnodonte vesicularis (Lamarck, 1806). :thumbsu: My second biggest Pycnodonte. Many belemnites (including a real cool black one!:ammo2:), two pieces (including a big one) from the same genus (Pycnodonte) and one sea urchin Echinocorys sp. or Echinocorys scutata (Leske, 1778). Also one recent cow/bovid tooth and a piece of vase. 

 

The two photo's on the right are from another (earlier) trip (fossils are on the ground in a field. Finds: one sea urchin Cardiaster granuloses (Goldfuss, 1829) and one belemnite (many more belemnites were found). Genus Belemnitella or Belemnella (Pachybelemnella) sp.)
