  2. From the album: Middle Jurassic Ammonites from Southern Germany

    20cm. Wedelsandstein Formation Early Bajocian ovale zone Found in Wutachtal
  3. I've been working on another commission assignment this past week which is pretty interesting, so I figured I'd show the progression here. It's been a somewhat time consuming project, having already spent 16 hours at it. The pen work and abrading is done now, but there's still some repair work to do with epoxy putty which I'll probably get down to tomorrow. This is what I got to begin with. As you can see, the customer had already trimmed off a lot of matrix and had also glued a couple of pieces back on which had broken off during extraction with the exception of the one loose piece to be seen sitting atop the block. The first thing to do was to determine the lay of the fossil and decide where best to get started. I decided to start on the side shown which had at least a few parts exposed, since the reverse side was still covered with a good few centimeters of matrix. I had to be careful around the edges with the break for fear of chipping off some of the shell. It worked out alright in the end, so I also trimmed off most of the matrix on the loose piece and glued it back into place. I then decided to do some abrading before I tackled the other side. And took a "wet look" photo of it when complete before going on. There are three large serpula nestling on the shell. I didn't think to take a photo of the original state, but here is one I took after I was about half way through trimming the reverse side. A few bits of shell had broken off the venter at the top, but I managed to get them glued back into place with no loss of substance. Here it is freed from the matrix before abrading. And here's another "wet look" pic after completion. This is a Fissilobiceras ovale from the Early Bajocian with a diameter of 20cm. I'll post a couple more photos once I'm done with the putty work.

    3cm. bucklandi zone Sinemurian Early Jurassic Site: Mundelfingen, Wutach, Germany
  5. From the album: Middle Jurassic Ammonites from Southern Germany

    12cm. staufensis bank bradfordensis zone Late Aalenian Achdorf Formation Found in the Wutach valley
  6. I mentioned in another post a few days ago that I had discovered a site in the Middle Jurassic Aalenian which I hadn't visited previously. I found it rather unexpectedly while in search of the humphriesi oolite formation. It was obvious that other collectors had worked here in the past, but the rock had also been weathering away for a few years since the last ones were here, so I figured it would be worth spending the good part of a day inspecting it. I set off to this avail this very morning. It's a bit of a way up to get there, but not too strenuous if you take your time. By the way, I remembered to take my camera along this time, so here's a shot of the exposure. I spent about 5 hours working at it but ended up digging out a lot of partials since the stone was extremely hard at the one productive horizon and too soft in the other one. That's the luck of the game sometimes. You can always find the right horizon once you've located an exposure, but the preservation is often quite different than at other exposures not too far away. Here are pics of the 2 spots I was working at. It wasn't all for nothing at least, since I did manage to salvage a good sized Staufenia staufensis ammonite out of the hard horizon. This is how it looked before I maneuvered the 2nd block out of the bank. And here are both pieces ready for transport. Looks like I've got a bit of prep work ahead of me. There were also a few smaller ones to take with me. So that was it for the day. Downhill is always as easy as pie and a stop on the way home for a rump steak with scalloped potatoes and a red bull is the incentive that gets me out in the first place I'll post the finds later on once I get down to prepping them.

  8. From the album: Middle Jurassic Ammonites from Southern Germany

    40cm. Prepared and restored for a friend by yours truly. trigonalis zone Early Bajocian Found in the Wutach Valley
  9. Ludwigia

    Megateuthis suevica (Klein 1783)

    From the album: Belemnites

    This rostrum measures 38cm., although it is not quite complete, so it could have been up to 50cm. long originally. The name of the species used to be M.gigantea until it was revised a few years ago, which I find to be more suitable for this behemoth, the largest belemnite ever. It originates from the Bajocium in the Wutach Valley, southwestern Germany.
  10. From the album: Middle Jurassic Ammonites from Southern Germany

    28cm. ovale zone early Bajocian A rare find from Wutachtal. This is just the phragmocone from what once quite a large example.

    Some Callovian finds

    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.
  16. Calcite steinkern.
