The day began with a Calamites trunk IMG_7049.thumb.JPG.57b3ff0fdfb0a2d6baca680f41f3b52d.JPGIMG_7051.thumb.JPG.cfde8358e27719977f7c9d7b49c34e2d.JPG

But two steps from this fossil where not usual finds IMG_7052.thumb.JPG.e13839486bfba1006f52457d7396e486.JPGIMG_7056.thumb.JPG.ed80cf1d2feaa7bb63eb59d2ecbff9f6.JPGIMG_7057.thumb.JPG.0a1d0b8cfa697a6bf5ba4934f5897534.JPG

 

Granatwerfer ('Priest Mortar') Granate 1914-1918

The Gr.W.16s proved to be popular and very effective weapons for the Germans. They had a high rate of fire, useful range, and reasonable effective detonation. They could be used in either direct or indirect fire applications – direct fire was used to fire at things like sentry posts, gun loopholes, and the like. When fired this way, the grenade fragments would fill an area roughly 5m wide and 50m long, while a round fired in a high angle trajectory would have a bursting radius of about 30 meters. Minimum high-angle range was 50 meters, to avoid endangering the firing crew.
