Manticocerasman

Recommended Posts

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 :)

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.

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.

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!

The word that comes to mind is juicy. Probably 'cause I'm drooling.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Not an area of specialization that I have ever been pulled towards but beautiful and nicely displayed non the less. Wish I could get my act together one of these days and display my fossils as nicely.

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.
