I was also in a quarry near Buttenheim (at the same day).

As many of you know its a very famous quarry where you can find nice white ammonites (mostly Pleuroceras) from the lower Jurassic.

I didnt spend much time there so my finds arent spectacular ...

Here are some of them:

 

The smaller ones:

 

 

I think nearly all of them are Pleuroceras sp. ...

 

And some detailed pictures:

A nice 5 cm big one:

 

 

Another smaller one (3 cm):
 

 

A nice 6 cm big spinal

Another one ...

 

 

This one was brocken but i think it doesnt harm the beauty

 

 

Thanks for viewing ! Hope you enjoy

Nice finds for a short visit. Have you tried your luck up at the top in the "Spinatum-Hauptfundlager" yet?

I don't know, Sebastian - those finds look pretty spectacular to me!  

I am jealous of anyone who can hunt for ammonites.

Would make My day to find some of those!

I think You did very well there.
