Shamalama Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Cut and polished? Very nice! Rudists are my favorite Pelecypods. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Nice work! I've sliced a few of them myself and am fascinated by their innards. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranzBernhard Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 I have already posted two of them in another topic, but here all four cut and polished Vaccinites vesiculosus (Woodward, 1855) that I have found from Mai to August 2017 in the Campanian St. Bartholomä-formation of the Gosau basin of Kainach - St. Bartholomä, Styria, Austria in one plate. There are some more, but they already showed the distribution and form of the pillars on the weathered surface, so there was no need to cut them.
