Hi guys,

 

last week I was on holiday in Austria and had the chance to hunt at the area of Adnet. There you can find fossils in the red "Adneter Schichten" which are lower jurassic deposits. 

I was there twice for about 4 hours at all and I found some cool stuff!

At my first visit I found plenty of ammonites, one nautilus and some bivalves. It was a very rainy day. Here is a picture of the site:

And this is the only ammonite I could prepped until now:

 

Skaliert.thumb.JPG.ff0c18cb6285666b0d3e0d0255e5445b.JPG

 

Its a 5 cm long Phylloceras. A kinda common species there.

The prep work is really difficult, because there is no really separation layer between stone and fossil. 

I didnt prepped the nautilus until now so I can you show a picture of the unprepped example:

On my second visit the weather was very good (maybe even too hot :D).

Because of that and because of the enormous luck I had I found some shark teeth :yay-smiley-1::raindance:

I didnt really expect to find one although I had already saw some teeth from there on the internet. But I didnt found one I found many :P 

Here are the 4 nicest ones until now:

 

The first one is very fragile and 1 cm long:

The second shark tooth is about 2 cm long and I like the combination with a crinoid stem:

Then this one is about 1.2 cm long and seems to be only a fragment. But I still like it :)

And last but not least the find of the day:

 

Skaliert.thumb.JPG.6b209fc09fe309a01ade78d84e14b948.JPG

 

A 2.6 cm long shark tooth!! I will try to take better pictures of last and biggest shark tooth after cutting the stone a bit smaller. At the moment the tooth is on a huge stone!

The prep work on the shark teeth was also very hard because the teeth are very fragile and the stone is very hard. I prepped it with different needles and with my air scribe 

I am very pleased with those finds :D
I assume that all shark teeth are Sphenodus shark teeth.

 

Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed :fistbump:

 

Many greetings from Germany ! Have a great time with many fossils :)

Regards Sebastian

If you visit the area once I can pm you and send the exact location where I found them ...

Is that the full extent of the site?? Nice finds. Something about fossils in red rocks that I love. I bet they smell wonderful. :P

I am not sure what you mean but if you mean that the site isnt bigger than it appears to be in my picture you are right ...

Very nice! I love the metric style of the teeth. 

Quality pieces. Keep on hunting

Thanks :D
 

So here are some more teeth, which I found there.

 

Unprepped condtion:

After the preparation with a needle:

 

Haizahn22.JPG.7a2bd831018a2471a5b207a405a1e6ee.JPG

 

Its very small (only 0.8 cm long). 

On the same stone is a nice gastropod. Too bad that I cant really prep it.

 

Schnecke.JPG.02617d2ddc8cec6e2642eeea51c6993d.JPG

 

The next one is also very small with a length of 1 cm:

 

Haizahn9.thumb.JPG.43948dbc27ffc3b2ce707c636be314a9.JPG

 

During the prep it fell out of the stone and I had to glue it ... As you can see my prep work wasnt optimal but I am satisfied with it ;)

 

Some more isolated teeth:

And this 1.2 cm long Sphenodus tooth:

Many greetings from Germany ! Have a great time with many fossils :)

Hey Sebastian,

Can You post some pictures of the serrated and hexagonal pieces? (the 2 on the right side.)

Would like to see all sides and an end on picture, please.

 

Thanks,

Tony

You have to really take your time!! Are you going to seal it?

1) Yes, that's what I meant! Quite a few fossils from that small patch.

2) well, I would prefer the smell of limey sedimentary rock, myself.. Love that smell. Unless it's been in the dirt too long, then it just smells like dirt!  ^_^

Your shark teeth are indeed magnificent (congrats on finding so many really pretty ones!!!), but I have to say that I love that coiled nautiloid - beautiful!

Hi Tony,

 

with my bad camera it's going to be very difficult to take such close-up pictures ...

Can I ask you why do you want to see them?

Do you really think that it's necessary to seal them?

Is it possible shark tooth #2 is some kind of dino tooth?

I am pretty sure that's a shark tooth as well. It looks kinda typical for Sphenodus teeth.

They do not look like shark teeth that I am familiar with.
