I bought this ammonite as a child decades ago at Gletschergarten Luzern, Schweiz. Together with it I also bought one Dactylioceras sp. (Lias Epsilon, Schwarze Jura) I assume originally from Germany. Those were my first two fossils. Is there anyone who could determine the genus of this ammonite based on a photo of the cross-section. It is 5 cm tall.

Hi, I stumble over these and similar Fossils all the time in Muschelkalk layers in Hardegsen, Germany. Always thought them to be some trace fossils, but since they all Look so very much alike, maybe it is something else?

L.S., The photographs below show a 23 mm-long fragment of an insect wing, which I found in the Moscovian (Late Carboniferous) of the Piesberg, near Osnabrück, Lower Saxony (Germany). Unfortunately, the specimen was found exposed on very weathered shale. It fragmented on the slightest touch, forcing me to glue it in the quarry to get it home at all. Not ideal, but better than letting it crumble to dust, I guess. The three images show low magnification microscope photographs. I also made a crude stitch, to better show the overall shape of the 23 mm-long wing. Since animals are not my strong suit, I would certainly appreciate any help with further identification of this fragment! Thanks, Tim

Is this petrified wood by any chance, or just a schist? I know this question gets asked all the time but it's hard for me still to tell them apart. I got it in Germany but not sure of its origin. Thank you all!

L.S., Instead of a regular "pointy end", the below pinnule of Macroneuropteris scheuchzeri shows a forked end, plus also a smaller lateral pointed structure on the left. Not sure what may have caused this aberrant pinnule-shape, some kind of pathology perhaps? I was wondering whether others have found similar, deviating leaf shapes. Would love to see your examples or hear your thoughts about this one. Kind regards, Tim

Hello dear fellow forum members. After a long time finally something I found myself again. Went on a trip to some locations of my youth in the "Oberbergisches Land" region of North-rhine-westphalia. The usual rock there is devonian Greywacke, which is much used as a very hard building material. Crinoid stem sections of 5-10 mm diameter are abundant in spots, usually they form rust colored layers in the otherwise dark grey wacke. Among blocks of the usual grey stuff that had at least been moved to close an old quarry I found a piece of an unusually soft, chalky yellowish stuff with a crinoid hash of very thin (about 2-3mm) segments. It does not foam or fizz at all with acetic acid. (the dark brown spot in the pic is still wet). The spotted clast in the middle of the closeup pic caught my eye. I wonder if it is a piece of crinoid anatomy or rather a piece of pumice. Could this be volcanic ash containing crinoids? Scale in cm/mm obviously. Best regards, J

Hello, I was searching through my fossil storage in hopes of finding a mosasaur tooth in flint preservation (spoilers alert : I didnt ) and found this interesting piece instead, wich kinda reminded me of an ammonite fragment. But as flint has tricked more than once with all his possible shapes and shades and layering into thinking that I've found a fossil in it, I better should post it here for confirmation or whatever the opposite is called in english (my vocabulary is still learning new words). The grooves appear like if they all start from one middle point that isnt preserved anymore, and appear to be to "perfect" if they would be geological origin. So are my thoughts. Also, I might see something that kinda appears to be the bouyancy chamber steinkern and maybe some of the walls that seperated it into multiple rooms, but maybe my imagination is playing with me Anyway, @rocket, @Ludwigia, are you guys able to help here and end my whole dream, or be as amazed as me if it really is one !? I know about ONE ammonite in flint preservation from the german fossilforum, Steinkern, but that was mostly a cavaty left behind by one. But they are possible ! Sice : 6,5 cm the longest, around 3,5 the highest. I found it a few years ago on the beach of Marienleuchte on the german island of Fehmarn, on the giaaaaant pebble beach there. Space in between the grooves : consistantly 5 mm where I've measured on the same hight. I know, not many details are preserved, and even if there are any they would be even worse to see as this piece is nearly completly white, but lets hope there are some visible ones ! Here are the lines that I think might be these walls in the chamber (I know they have a name bit I dont know it ) And here the possible, very unlikely Steinkern of the main chamber. Saw some that might look similar in different ammonites. Anyway, have fun analyzing this ! Maybe I have luck, I found a four leaved clover leave today

Unknown tooth (6 mm) from Solnhofen (Mühlheim, Lkrs. Eichstätt) Germany., no carinae are visible. I think about fish, anyone have an idea? Fish or reptile? Unfortunately no better photos.

Dinosaurier Museum Altmühltal Leuk dino museum in Beieren, Duitsland, met als trekpleister het echte geraamte van een jonge tyrannosaurus en verder 2 replica geraamtes van Quetzalcoathus. Verder een mooie wandeling door de bossen waarbij je de prehistorische dieren volgens hun tijdlijn bezoekt. Echter is het aantal beelden vrij beperkt. De prijs was 19.5 euro per persoon. Dinosaur Museum Altmühltal Nice dinosaur museum in Bavaria, Germany, with the real skeleton of a young tyrannosaurus and 2 replica skeletons of Quetzalcoatus as an attraction. Furthermore, a beautiful walk through the woods where you visit the prehistoric animals according to their timeline. However, the number of images is quite limited.
