belemniten Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I want to show you my finds from my trip to russbach. You can find there fossils in the "Gosauschichten", so mainly corals, gastropodes and bivalves. I was excpecially in the "Randobach" near the small town russbach. Its easy to find and not difficult too find fossils. For example, i found this two nice gastropodes with beautiful shale: I think both are Pseudomaura brevissima: Many greetings from Germany !

belemniten Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) If you go on you will come to the "Stöcklwaldgraben". This location is impassable but you can find more and better fossils. I found many gastropods but mostly very small: I cant id this bigger gastropod: Edited August 9, 2016 by belemniten Many greetings from Germany !

belemniten Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Some more gastropods: Ampulina (?) Another nice but small find is this gastropod: I think it could be Pseudomaura but i am not sure... Some "Steinkerne" of Ampullina sp.: Many greetings from Germany !

doushantuo Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Nice finds .Coincidentally, somewhere in june I downloaded some of Von Zittel's work on the Gosau fauna(mollusca).Old(19th century),but brilliantly illustrated,of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belemniten Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 I also found many corals (also in the Randobach). I cant ID them, so i appreciate any help Maybe Phyllosmilia (???): Many greetings from Germany !

belemniten Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 And finally some more corals: I think all are Connulites. Some closer views: I found even more but cant id them and this would be too much for this little topic So is there anyone who can have a closer look (PN with more pictures) on my finds ? Would be great ... Many greetings from Germany ! Have a great time with many fossils Regards Sebastian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guguita2104 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Stunning finds (as always ),Sebastian! IMO: 2-The majority of the gastropods belong to Ampullinidae, but there are two (the circled ones) that could belong to Stromboidea (however, I'm not sure at all): 4,5,6-Ampullinidae. 7-Scleractinian solitary corals. If you can, try to take photos of the septa.This will help to determine their genus or even their specie. 8-I think you're right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) That's a wonderful area to visit and collect fossils. I've been there several times myself. Did you visit the "Schneckenwand"? It's not always easy to get the corals identified, but Gero Moosleitner's book "Fossiliensammeln in Salzburgerland" is a great help and he give lots of references at the back of the book. By the way, "Connulites" should read "Cunnolites", although it was declared as invalid a few years ago. They now bear the name Cyclolites sp.

I dont visit the Schneckenwand this year but last year i was there. Too bad that I can't really prep the gastropods from this place. I have this book but have to search it ... hopefully i can id with it more I think you was in the nefgraben in russbach ... i also was there but didn't find anything. Is there collecting only possible in the upper Region ?? EDIT I already wonder about the name of the Coral on your picture in the Steinkern Gallery .... thanks for the information!

Is there collecting only possible in the upper Region ?? You have to go quite far up, but there's a bit of clambering involved. I found some nice colonial corals at the top of a small waterfall. Pass Gschutt is also good. Besides corals, you can also find rudists and large Nerinea there. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

FranzBernhard Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Ludwigia, according to fossilworks.org, "Cunnolites" seems to be te valid name at the moment (see screenshot). But perhaps fossilworks is not up to date? Thanks! Franz Bernhard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doushantuo Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) I think there was SOME confusion about Cyclolites/Cunnolites(("Funginella"?) Agreed, Cunnolites Alloiteau IS valid meanwhile,i keep bumping into literature on the Cretaceous of Austria: a particular Pletzbach Alm gastropod facies: http://www.zobodat.at/pdf/ANNA_111A_0033-0072.pdf Edited August 10, 2016 by doushantuo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
