Hemipneustes striatoradiatus Maestrichtian Eben-Emael Belgium

Hi Nala,

I assume you traded this specimen.

For your information: H. striatoradiatus is from the Late Maastrichtian, most notably the Nekum and Emeal Members. Although there are several quarries near Lixhe, Belgium, which I frequent a lot myself, the Late Maastrichtian is not exposed in these quarries. Hence, I have serious doubts this specimen is actually from Lixhe. More likely it is from the nearby village of Emael (Belgium) , which has two quarries or the ENCI-quarry near Maastricht (Netherlands). Both places lie a little to the north of Lixhe and do have the Late Maastrichtian exposed.

Kind regards,

Paul (Synechodus)
