4.5cm. From the herveyi zone, early Callovian in Wutachtal. -
I just sort of hijacked one of Nimravis' topics to show these finds, so I figured it'd be better if I continued the story here. I took off for my first proper hunt in a couple of months this morning in the hopes that the bit of snow we'd had hadn't decked the site in the Wutach valley that I had chosen. As luck would have it, it was still relatively pristine, so I was able to spend about 4 hours digging away in a familiar embankment in the search for some nice Callovian ammonites. This time the Gods were with me, so it looks like I've got a bit of prepping to do. The ammos appear to belong mostly to the Macrocephalites family, but there are some other species and also a couple of echinoids represented. I think I'll start with the one on the left. It's a double, although you can't see the smaller one at the top all that well.

I've been doing a lot of contract prep work for a particular collector for quite a while. He recently picked up some raw material bargains from an old collection and brought some of them by last week for me to clean up for him. When he came to pick them up today, he decided to gift me one of them, which just made my day, since it's an excellent specimen of a species which is hard to find these days in this size and condition. It's a Procerites hodsoni with a diameter of 34cm. which was found in the Bathonian layers at a construction site in Blumberg a few decades ago.

I made another visit to that site in the Middle Jurassic Aalenian to continue on where I'd left off last week. Here's the original report . I headed back up to the exposure with the intent of continuing along removing more of the weathered blocks from the bank. But first of all, I noticed a possibility to remove a bit more overburden from my dig last week. Like I'd mentioned before, this overburden belongs to the so-called staufensis bank and there's always a chance of finding something in it, although they are few and far between and not always complete. But waddayaknow! I uncovered a Staufenia staufensis ! You can't see it all that well in the first photo, since most of it is still inside the matrix, maybe a bit better in the second one. I had just dug out the missing piece of the venter and took another shot. I banged around a bit more, but soon gave up when the going got too tough. Then I turned my attention for about half an hour to scraping away the dirt and rubble in front of the weathered blocks. Then I started hammering and prying out the blocks, starting as usual at the top. It didn't take long this time before the finds started showing themselves.

I decided to try my luck again at one of my old Aalenian spots in the Wutach valley last week and it panned out this time. I'd been there a couple of weeks ago without much success, so I decided to try to follow the horizon this time in the hopes of finding a pristine exposure. This necessitated a lot of digging and delving, and was a bit of a challenge for my sense of orientation, but I finally was able to localize two exposures which look like they could be producing some interesting finds for some time to come. I've been busy the last few days doing some commission work, but I finished that off this afternoon, so now I can get down to working on these finds. Here's what I brought home with me. At the bottom left of the second crate is a larger ammonite which I managed to get done quickly today since there wasn't much matrix at all to remove. Here's the finished product. Staufenia discoidea? 12cm. More to follow as time goes on.
