My fossils from Holzmaden/Dormettingen


belemniten

Recommended Posts

I decided to post my fossils from Holzmaden/Dormettingen( Germany), because its my favourite fossil location.

I know that some of you know (and like (?) ;) ) the quarry.

I am not sure with determining the fossils. Hopefully someone can help me. :D

Some of the pieces you already have seen in other topics or in the gallery....but i have also some new ones and hope that you enjoy.

First Belemnites

Acrocoelites

Belemnites are fascinating aren't they? To the one in post #2: If you found it in the Toarcian Posidonienschiefer, then it could also be Acrocoelites. Passaloteuthis occurs mostly in the somewhat older Pliensbachian layers, although it can also be found in the lowermost Toarcian, where Acrocoelites also occurs. The easiest way to differentiate between the two, since the rostra have many different and similar forms, is to look at the apex. Acrocoelites has 3 grooves, whereas Passaloteuthis has only 2. I would warmly recommend getting yourself a copy of Schlegelmilch's "Die Belemniten des süddeutschen Jura" for study if you don't already have it, where such things are explained in detail.

Second ammonites

Ammonites arent my favourite for collecting, so I dont have so much ....

But I have some nice species and I hope that you enjoy :D

The first is a small but nice Dactylioceras.

These specie is very common in the quarries there.
