Nimravis Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 @Foozil don’t be nervous, I think it really comes down to what people like, and people like trilobite fossils, they like to eat shrimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranzBernhard Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Found: 10/14/2018 Name: Rudist Vaccinites alpinus (Douvillé, 1897) Age/Formation: Campanian, St. Bartholomä-formation Locality: St. Bartholomä, Styria, Austria This rudist was found a few meters north of my digging site at Point 25 in St. Bartholomä, just lying within the decomposing litter. A few meters above, there is "Knödelbrekzie" exposed. Its a short specimen, but the apex is nearly completely preserved. Pillars are well visible and also the typical groves along the pillars at the outside. No preparation besides washing with water and a soft brush necessary.

I'm admittedly a bit nervous about your shrimp, @Nimravis Don't be nervous at all. The FOTM contest is a showcase for all the great fossils members are finding each month. True, there can only be one winner (per category) but finding a worthy entry and showing it off here is the real prize. I've been up digging through the Devonian in Ontario and New York this week and seeing similar types of fossils from the other end of the planet is pretty cool to help reinforce the global extent of these critters.

Formation: Triassic ("Grenzbonebed") Locality: Near Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany The tooth is about 2.5 cm long. It's the first Lungfish tooth I found until now and I think they aren't that common Unprepped: Prepped: The prep work took about 1 hour and was done with my air pen and my new sandblasting machine.
