Enci Trips 2015

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

The new season has started in april already but i didn't have the time to share my finds with you all yet. Last saturday we went for the third trip to the ENCI quarry. This was a productive trip with a lot of nice finds mostly shark teeth though but also a nice mosasaur tooth, a partial enchodus jaw and some sea urchins. Which i will share in a few posts.

The first trip was also quite productive though in sea urchins. Especially the Rhynchopygus marmini was nice to find as these are quite rare.

The second trip was not as productive as the first and third trip but a nice mosasaur tooth made it still worth it.

I hope you all will enjoy the pics and i will try to share more regularly in the future. The pics i will put in the next posts with the number of the trip.

Regards,

Arno

Those are some really nice finds! Is that a rostral tooth in the 4th. photo at the top?

yes this is a rostral tooth of ganopristis leptodon. But this one is exceptional small compared to the other ones in my collection 12mm to 25mm or larger.

I really like the teeth in the matrix. Such nice color contrast!

Hey all,

I would like to share the finds of last saturday. i can honestly say i wasn't disappointed when i got home :D

With a five squalicorax, one mosa tooth and plenty of other shark teeth it was a very good day. Especially the little squalicorax was nice and unexpected.

Regards,

Arno
