Yesterday i had time to hunt in Holzmaden. Some may realize that i posted this: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/69842-last-hunt-in-holzmaden-for-this-year/#comment-732544 Now this is my real last hunt in the quarry Kromer in Holzmaden (Lower Jurassic) ... I worked hard about 3 hours, but i cant find much and the material there doesnt look good. So i only find this item: This tooth looks very special ... Its 0.7 cm long (after prep 1 cm long), so it was difficult to photograph the tooth. It looks very similar to this one or ? http://www.holzmadenfossilien.de/inhalte fossilien/Flugsaurierzahn_001.html Hope somebody can help me ... Thanks !

Today i was in the quarry Kromer in Holzmaden (Germany), Lower Jurassic. Shadefully the quarry is closed during winter, so it was probably my last hunt there this year. Because of that i was very motivated to find something good ... The material didnt look bad and there werent many collectors before me there, so good found opportunities. But my hopes were destroyed .... In the first 1-2 hours i only found this two imprints of great Steneosaurus teeth: This two would be great, but i cant find them I was very unhappy until i found THIS ... Its doesnt look good on the pictures, but the original is very pretty and its rare ! A 14 cm long part of a cuttle fish, maybe Loligosepia sp. (?) ....

This species gives its name to the zone and subzone at the bottom of the lower Toarcian. This very fine-ribbed specimen of the genus Dactylioceras is for me a fine representative for the legend of St. Hilda, the Abbess at the monastery in Whitby ca. 650 A.D. She wanted to build a convent there as well, but the grounds were infested with snakes, so she prayed so intensively that all of the snakes were turned into stone. Since then they are known as snakestones. I found this sample pretty well as is with a head that reminds us of a snake. Literature: Howarth, M.K.

Remnants of the original aragonite shell were still on this fossil when found, but they were removed in order to expose the pyritized steinkern mold. The overwhelming majority of the fossils at Buttenheim show this type of preservation, although pure or partial calcite molds also occur. This is also the index fossil for the solare subzone, which is only recognized in Germany. For information on identification of this species see Pleuroceras spinatum under Collections.

The last three photos show a specimen from the Whitby Mudstone Formation in Yorkshire in pyrite conservation. The diagnosis for distinguishing this species from D.commune, which is quite similar, can be found in the collection here under that species. Literature: Howarth, M.K. (1973): The Stratigraphy and Ammonite Fauna of the Upper Liassic Grey Shales of the Yorkshire Coast. Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History) Geology. Vol.24 No.4

This species was one of the most common of its time, but nevertheless it is used as the index fossil for the subzone since its occurence is practically limited to it. It is not easy to differentiate it from the species D.athleticum, which occurs in the same subzone. One main difference is that D.commune has a more rounded whorl section than D.athleticum, which is more oval. Another is that the number of ribs per whorl by D.athleticum remains constant, whereas D.commune has less ribs on the outer whorls as on the inner ones. The first specimen is from France (4 photos), the next 2 photos show a pyritized version in a concretion from a site near Whitby, Yorks., UK as well as the cut and polished version in the last photo. Both come from the Whitby Mudstone Formation. It's always interesting to observe how the same species can be preserved so differently depending in the particular conditions under which they were fossilized. Literature: Howarth, M.K.
