Ths day I found it, we had found nothing worth mentioning so far, I rolled over a massive pipe in the river, and it was laying half out of the water. Out of all or the hours of digging that I, and others have done and posted pictures of, i have never seen anyone find white teeth in GMR. Let alone the size and condition. Size is ~2.8" Thats a really nice find! 1 On The Hunt For The Trophy Otodus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Decided to enter this before its too late!

Haha thanks So here is a last minute entry: An Ichthyosaur fossil I found and prepped this month. Its from the quarry Kromer in Holzmaden. At first you could only see two cross sections on both sides of the stone. During the prep I was able to reveal four paddle bones, another Ichthyosaur bone and some belemnites. The paddle bones are about 5 cm long so not too small. I prepped it with my air pens and an air abrasive. The prep took about six hours. Found: 14/07/19 Finished prep: 29/07/19 Ichthyosaur bones (4 paddle bones and one other bone) and some belemnites Lower Jurassic, Posidonia Shale Holzmaden, Germany 5 Many greetings from Germany ! Have a great time with many fossils Regards Sebastian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
