Today I finished prepping a little Ichthyosaur caudal vertebra from Holzmaden. Too bad I didn't took any pictures of the unprepped vert but I did a lot I prepped it with my air pen and with my new sandblasting machine. I am very happy about this tool Here it is: It's very small with a length of 1.2 cm. Hope you like it

Hi guys, last week I started studying so I don't have much time at the moment and because of that I can't be very active here. Nevertheless I could go hunting last weekend (related to my eighteenth birthday (so why I am still a youth member?? )). I was in a quarry near Stuttgart where you can find fossils from the Triassic. Looking for bones and teeth in the "Bonebed" there is quite strenuous but it makes always fun! Especially if you find something good And my best find was this lungfish tooth (Ceratodus): Never found something like that before so I am quite happy with it! It's about 2.5 cm long and I prepped it with my air pen and with my new sandblasting machine! The prep work took about 1 hour. I can't really estimate how rare such a find is but maybe @Pemphix can say more! Thanks for viewing

Leaping Lizards, is this Fossiliferous Limestone, or am I delusional... (wait, please don't answer)

Wow... so I am learning too much stuff. This is a very dangerously addictive website. One more... a stab at an accurate id.... (ID = identification, not intentionally Freudian despite more than an occasional slip?)

Hi, a month back I bought these two plant fossils at a shop. But unfortunatly the guy at the store forgot to put the information card of them in the box. :/ What I can remember reading when I bought them was that they were from the Triassic era and that they were found in the Bruchsal area in Germany. But that's unfortunatly all I could remember, I don't know their exact age or species. I tried to research the exact age of the fossils found in that area or what species can be found there, but unfortunatly in my search I did not find any anwsers, only one guy with pictures of the same fossil species from the same area and age, but unfortunatly I did not get a reply back from the guy. So I was hoping one of you guys here could help me to ID the fossil. Thanks in advance! photo hosting

Does anybody know about fossil laws in Germany?

I found this fossil in Gerstetten, Germany. It is late Jurassic, 145 million years old and was found in limestone. Does anybody know what it is?

I hadn't seen an echinoid with beekite before so I had to buy it. Micraster glyphus?, Campanian, Höver, Germany.

Hello to the teeth experts. I was just wondering if this tiny tooth (5mm.) belongs to a drumfish. It's somewhat differently shaped than the others I've found here (Miocene Burdigalian of southern Germany), but I think it fits the picture.

Hello, TFF I was recently in Holzmaden, Germany when I found a piece of an octopus. I also recently read a book about octopus intelligence. This made me wonder if some prehistoric creatures might have been intelligent. I am especially interested in tool use, which has been observed in some modern animals. ( Octopuses, Cetaceans, Birds.) Has anyone found some possibly intelligent animals(fossilized?)

So, it's me again with another Museum. This time from Berlin / Germany, visited on 14 August 2018 And Berlin is all about the BIG guys. Let's go: Giraffatitan brancai (it's still labeled in the museum as Brachiosaurus brancai) The tallest mouted skelleton in the world (43 ft 6 in) Diplodocus carnegii Dicraeosaurus hansemanni Kentrosaurus aethiopicus Tyrannosaurus Rex Mounted replika skull. The real skull is in a seperate showcase, because it's too heavy (like with Sue) Elaphrosaurus bambergi Dysalotosaurus lettowvorbecki Allosaurus fragilis I think that is a very interesting idea with the real head. It gives a better understanding what these creatures looked like. Archaeopteryx lithographica (yes thats the real one right there) Dracorex hogwartsia Rhamphorhynchus muensteri Anyone needs a Tyrannosaurus Rex tooth? You can buy one at the museum for 2700 $ And lots of fish

Hello all,. I got this bones some time ago, they come from Sauerland, Germany, more exactly the pleistocene depots in this area. They weren't sold as bird bones, but when I compared it to a fossil bird femur it looked like a match. Some bird experts here? I know @Auspex knows a lot from these animals. The bones range from just under 1 cm to 1,5 cm. Hope the pictures work. Greetings.

Hello everybody from Munich in Germany Like most people I got fascinated with fossils and Dinos back in the 90s when I was a little kid and Jurassic Park was all over the place. My childhood is long gone but I never lost my love for those creatures. Diffrence is I'm now a little older with a job and money to spend. I would love to finally start my own little fossil collection and hope to get some nice stuff during the following years. So I started to look in the most generic stuff like Spinosaurid and Carcharodontosaurid teeth/bones from Kem Kem region. Since I live in europe there are quite a lot online dealers where you can buy them. Also it's quite easy to get your hands on fossiled fish from the jurassic age here in Bavaria. I don't want to go and buy the first tooth/bone I see. I would love to have quality over quantity. One good tooth is better than ten mediocre teeth. I do understand that especially from the Kem Kem region fakes are a problem and since I'm a beginner, I really hope I will finde some good advice here. I've already started to read lot's of articles on this page about identification adn guidelines on buying. In addition I'm planing to visit in the next few weeks some museums in Germany. I think I can snap some nice pictures for you.

From the album: Holzmaden
This fossil was found by me two years ago in the visitor quarry Kromer near Holzmaden and was prepped by Roger Furze ( @Ludwigia ). Thanks again On the piece you can see a disarticulated Ichthyosaur skull with some ribs and vertebrae. You can see one eyehole very good, although the eye itself isnt preserved. Isolated bones are not that rare in Holzmaden but such pieces are very rare ! At the maximum the piece is about 24 cm long. Unprepped: Prepped: The eyehole is very good visible: (Probably my favourite part ) The other eyehole: Some more bones: A vertebra: This one could be from a juvenile which is very rare! -
