Guest solius symbiosus Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 ^^The endocerid that you linked, has been weathered to a point that only about half of the carapace remains. This last group of photos are undoubtedly orthoconic cephalopods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest solius symbiosus Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Though, probably not applicable to your area, these are a couple of pics I took from: Shimer and Shyrock Index Fossils of North America MIT Press 1944 Eighth Edition 1965 p.534, plate 219 fig. 7 and fig. 8 are Giesenoceras.

Coldcreation Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Thank you for the above ID. Moving on to the next group of fossils... The following was found also in El Alto Tajo, Spain. Though the site is located several miles from the Silurian site where the graptolites etc shown above were found. This area is known for its Jurassic (or Upper Triassic) fossils, namely Brachiopods. Many dinosaur bones, though, have been found in the nearby Teruel region. This rock is about 18 inches long. What looks like a bone (of some sort) is approximately six inches long. Figure 12 Fig 13. Detail of the bone-like section Aside from what looks like a bone, there are other structural features that may be of interest. Figure 14. This looks almost like a dorsal tail (caudal) section (fused sacral vertebrae). Next to this specimen, were found other examples of what look like fused sacral vertebrae, with sacral foramen (holes lined up symmetrically to one another). I will reproduce those photos in my next post. Note too, the most proximal element to the caudal section appears to be an os coxae or innominate, commonly called the hipbone. Any thoughts?

Perhaps if you go to the museum, Madrid for example, you will have a good answer about your collection. http://www.mbfossilcrabs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldcreation Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Perhaps if you go to the museum, Madrid for example, you will have a good answer about your collection. Funny you should mention that. Yesterday I went to the Museum of Geology here in Barcelona, where they have a fine fossil collection. The provenance of most of the specimens are from outside of Spain. Plus i was with my four year old kid, so I couldn't concentrate (he was all over the place, climbing on the larger fossils and running on the wood floor). So I took photos of the fossils from Spain. I have yet to review them. Note: nothing resembled the above. There were plenty of trilobites and fish fossils, but a lame graptolite collection. Oh well...

Coldcreation Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Any plans to prep them out? Great question. These were heavy rocks. There are many of them directly adjacent to the one above. All have some distincive symmetry. I was alone and sensed that this find, if it turned out to be what I suspected, was way over my head. I could not do it alone, without professional help. So I placed it back the way I found it (to the best of my ability) and left it on location. The GPS coordinates of the site is noted, just in case it is worth contacting a specialist in the matter. Though I still do not know if that is the case. I could be just a bunch of rocks (or Diplovertebron?). The only way to find out is to prep them out, I suppose. I could not do such a thing. Any clues as to what it could be?

We were riding through the Parc de la Ciutadella and noticed lots of people going in and out of the Museum of Geology. So we locked up the bikes. It was free to get in because of Merce fiesta. Checked out the zoology museum too. Some of the fossils came from Catalunya (Figols, Bergueda, Barcelona), (Tartareu, La Noguera, Lleida), (Cabo de Salou, Font de Carlades, Tarragona), (Castelloli, Anoia, Barcelona) (and several place in Girona). I didn't see any acheologists though. Where in Catalunya are you from? Do you know any specialists? Coldcreation Something has only just begun.

Conservators not works in festive days. I were there the saturday 20, invited by the conservator, as colaborator for the first journey of classification session for amateur collectors, was funny, type kids with father and grandfather ... and their rocks, very goo experience.

How do we go about contacting the specialist? Email? Let me know next time there is a seminar... Have you been to Cabo de Salou or Font de Carlades in Tarragona for fossil digs?

Coldcreation Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 it s ammonoidevery rare piece Where do you see ammonoid? There are many ammonoids neaby, but they look very different. Here is one that was found one half kilometer away: Ammonite (unknown) from El Alto Tajo Spain. About 8 inches. Even when the pieces are placed together, as when they were found, this does not resemble the objects in Figures 12, 13 and 14 above. Coldcreation Something has only just begun.
