nala Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just came back from few days in the Jurrasic (Oxfordian) and cretaceous (Cénomanian )cliffs of the Black Cows Normandy,it was too late to find good ammonites samples as many people have hunted before me (there was already a lot of foot tracks on the mud and i crossed few local hunters)but there were still a few fossils A view from the top of the cliffs on the beach only partial samples neglected by the first wave of huntersbut it give an idea of what is possible to find with a lot of luck I had most luck with the echies Nucleolites scutatus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plantguy Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Gery, nice report. I know seeing footprints tends to make me focus even more. Continued hunting success. Thanks for showing us the latest! Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manticocerasman Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Nice finds Nala, Love the nucleolites. The picture with the oyster next to the sea gull is a “lopha marshii” an iconic fossil of "les vaches noirs" Kevin growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

The picture with the oyster next to the sea gull is a “lopha marshii” an iconic fossil of "les vaches noirs" Kevin The "lopha" marshii has been revised a few years ago to Actinostreon marshii.

squali Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Great report nala!! Thank you for posting the museum specimens with yours. That seems a beautiful location. Have you ever screened the soil there for the small stuff? It's hard to remember why you drained the swamp when your surrounded by alligators.

Ludwigia Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Nice idea placing your finds beside the ones exhibited in the museum. Got everything? Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nala Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 I made the prep of this very big Myophorella clavellata ,there is also a piece of an other fossil,ammonite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manticocerasman Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) The other fossil looks like half a cardioceras sp. This is definitely an ammonite This part helps for determining the species: Edited March 11, 2015 by Kevin H. growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

nala Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Yes you are right Kevin it's part of a Cardioceras :)Thanks if somebody is interested by pyrite from Villers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
