Max-fossils Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Well, it doesn't seem to be that "unproductive", those are all still very cool finds! I love the small chub, its patterns are very original! Thanks for sharing! Max Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

Well, bad days and good days! Once I went to the Zandmotor and literally found 4 clams, 2 cockles and a small oyster And Saturday I found a real jewel! Everyday is different, and sometimes the bad luck streak lasts longer. But remember that you have made many spectacular finds before, and will still do.

I'm lucky to have fantastic places to prospect and find fossils from different formations. Now I'am collecting Miocene material and some from Jurassic too.

True, Sesimbra and Torres Vedras are two amazing locations, and this trip report, as well as the fossils you sent me, are the proof!

Vieira Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Here it is. The finished ray plate. Unfortunately I could not get very nice pictures. It had too many reflexes. I will try to make better pictures in future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieira Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 One more recente find. In first moment I had some doubts in identify this fossil. It's the first time I find this type of fossil. I think it's a intervertebral disc of a cetacean. Correct me if I'am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Nice meg and finds but I like that big barnacle, it is huge. Do you need weather to aid in erosion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks . To have some good finds here I need a harsh winter with many rain and wind.. Another good condition in this place it's a rough sea... In january 2016 there was a big collapse in a cliff and many material stayed exposed. Since that time that few material has been collected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
