Ludwigia Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I finally got my new PC set up, so I can now delve into, add to and share my data with you all once again. It was a bit of a wait, but I managed to survive the absence by visiting the "Fossilien Boerse", the yearly fossil show near Stuttgart and also by taking a couple of trips to my currently favorite site in the Callovian. Here are a few of my finds. I'm particularly fond of the two Cadoceras ammonites, since I hadn't found any from this species in nearly as good condition as these in the past. Finding two of them within a week was really something special for me. Cadoceras cf. elatmae #1 Cadoceras cf. elatmae #2 Choffatia sp. #1 Choffatia sp. #2 Choffatia sp. #3 There are still a few more to prep, so I'll show some more of them here later on. 12 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Pagurus Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Wonderful finds and prep, as usual, Roger. Welcome back. I thought I had an old "Welcome Back" gif on my computer, but found this instead. For some curious reason I misspelled your name in a post a few years ago and this gif was the end result. 2 Start the day with a smile and get it over with.
