belemniten Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I want to show you some fossils from one of my favourite locations. Its a small quarry near Steinheim am Albuch where you can find gastropods from the middle Miocene. They are very small with a length of about 0.5 cm but very interesting .... The name of the specimen is Gyraulus but there you can find them in different forms. Here you see them: https://smnstuttgart.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/02_figure_1.jpg This time i dont really search for single examples .... Some of them: I looked more after bigger stones with many of this gastropods .... And i found some nice ones They are all about 3-8 cm long .... Some closer views ... 1 Many greetings from Germany ! Have a great time with many fossils Regards Sebastian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 That's a nice little exposure there which appears to be inexhaustable. I was there almost 10 years ago and it looks like it's still going strong. Glad to see you got some nice ones. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

The Gorthner piece is a pretty much in-depth analysis of gastropod ecology,evolution and biogeography(gyraulids,llanorbids,valvatids/including the Tertiary of Germany, of course) It's in German,BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
