Recommended Posts

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 ... :D 

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 :)

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...

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".
