Manticocerasman Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I finaly got around putting all my best cephalopods specimens that I collected over the past 4 years in the frasnian of southern Belgium on there place in the cabinets. They all come from the same location. (except an orthocone and a receptaculites from the same age but from a different spot ) most of it has already been posted in individual posts, but this gives an overal vieuw of the part of the collection on display. Enjoy al the Manticoceras, Crickites, Tornoceras, Bactrites, Orthocones and more 17 growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franz Bernhard Thx Franz Bernhard the site is not exhausted, but the best part is gone now, I'll have to see what the expansion of the quarry brings. 11 hours ago, Fossildude19 said: 11 hours ago, Heteromorph said: Spectacular collection! Really shows how great your sites are. Any vert material from the sites? Thx , Yes, I got vert material from here, but not in my collection anymore, I donated all my fish material to the museum in Brussels as all of it is undescribed ( very large Arthodire placoderm remains, some other fish and placoderm and even acanthodian spines ) A lot is still being prepped, a publication will follow. 9 hours ago, RJB said: Wow!

Wrangellian Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 WOW, I knew you had some nice cephs from that area, but it looks even more impressive all together like this. I've never seen so many large, well-preserved cephs from any part of the Paleozoic. Maybe the Moroccans could compete if they'd start prepping them the same way!

mikeymig Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Awesome collection. Its amazing how your specimens look a lot like what I find in the Upper Devonian of New York, USA. Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
