belemniten Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 The second part of my little trip through some quarries in Bavaria. Here you can see the first part: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/68791-fossils-from-bavaria-part-1/ After my visit in Mistelgau i was in a quarry near Buttenheim. Too bad that it was still rainy so i couldnt search longer than 2 hours (Yes i dont have that much stamina ). I was about 4 times in Buttenheim before (finds), but every time i admire the color of them ... This time i also found some cool ammonites ... The better examples: Most of them arent good preserved and they are often very instable. I think most (nearly all) are Pleuroceras sp. Some detailed photos: The first one is very nice although its broken. The specimen is 4 cm long and well preserved: This one is a bit damaged, but 7 cm long ... Many greetings from Germany ! Have a great time with many fossils Regards Sebastian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belemniten Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Two unprepped ammonites ... Both are about 5-6 cm big. This one looks a bit different (Size 4.5 cm) ... also Pleuroceras sp. ? A nice 6 cm long one with some damaged part .... The next one is one of the best ... 5 cm and very well preserved ! I am happy with this one And last but not least this 4 cm long one .... Thanks for viewing ... Hope you enjoy even if the pictures and the finds arent great Many greetings from Germany !

Uncle Siphuncle Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Great finds. My family loves that site...it is my wife's favorite collecting site in Germany. Did you run into Wolfgang Dietz there? He seems to live in that Tongrube... Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils."

So i would like to see what you found ... Ahhh....that's because I've gone to Germany twice to collect. Our first trip was in September, 2011. I posted a link on TFF to the report about 3 months later, and it contained about 800 photos, mostly fossils. 15 days, 13 quarries, and my (then) girlfriend actually enjoyed that schedule. That's marriage material, in my book. Now I just call her "Frau". Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
