andreas Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 After a longer break, I was able to hunt my favourite strata again. Friend and I did hunt at a Triassic site of Ladinian age. I found a covered ammonoid lense with different good preserved ammonoid species. The first visible ammonoid was a Gymnites sp. Below this ammonoid things get better and better.

Ludwigia Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Hey, Andreas! That looks good! How did you continue on with that? Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreas Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hi, first prep results of the second pic above. It is not finished at all. I have to wait for warmer weather to do the finish outside of my lab. Meanwhile i can work on my current project from the same location. The big one is the same species of Ptychites like the one on the first pic. I never thought that they change their shape so much when full grown up.

Ludwigia Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The Ptychites in the first photo looks great. Is everything in the second photo parts of a puzzle? Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey P Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 That definitely looks like FOTM when you finish prepping it. Congratulations on your work so far and a spectacular find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreas Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 The Ptychites in the first photo looks great. Is everything in the second photo parts of a puzzle? Hi Roger! Yes, all on the second pic is on one slab. Please excuse my silence to your first post in September. But I have to kept silence. Now all is exploited. That was a fantastic lense. @amour 25, thanks for your comment @Tim, It definitly was more than one great trip for me. I never found an untouched fossil accumulation like this one. Mostly big ammonoides were deposited therein probably sorted by deepwater currents. @Icordova, For me it is a killer piece too @Jeffrey, maybe I post it and thanks for your congrats.
