JustPlainPetrified Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 A great spot! Well researched and located. It would be nice to be able to dig in Alberta, but alas, we are limited to surface picking only. I admire the work you put into all your fossils and enjoy the excellent photographs. Thanks and keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and keep up the good work. Thanks for the laudatio. I certainly do appreciate it. Digging gives you a feel for things. It sure is a pity that you're not allowed to get below the surface in that province, but at least the natives are allowed to keep their finds at home if they're of no great scientific value. Isn't that the case? Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 I went back again on Tuesday and had to fight my way through a bit of snow once I got there, which I hadn't been expecting. Nevertheless, I braved it, headed into the relative shelter of the woods and spent some time looking for new exposures, which I unfortunately didn't manage to find this time around. However I did discover a slope at the right level covered with the right kind of stones, so I started banging away at them and managed to find a few small specimens, one of which is a new species for the collection. Although I'm not exactly sure which species it is yet, I do know that it's a member of the family of the Kosmoceratidae. These ones were also in the pile: Mother and child Homeoplanulites sp. Homeoplanulites sp. The Echinoid Pygomalus ovalis. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
