Cut and polished? Very nice! Rudists are my favorite Pelecypods. :)

They are my favorites, also. :)
Congrats for the finds and your good work!

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. See also:
