makias Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 There's tons of images of all kind of Keichousaurus specimens online, but I couldn't find a single image/video of where do they find them or how are they extracted. Does anybody know where this kind of material can be found? Disclaimer: It is common knowledge that most (?) Keichousaurus are found in China, the question doesn't go in that direction.

oilshale Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) Mount Langmu, Dazhai Village, Dingxiao, Xingy County, Guizhou Province. Sorry, I don't have pictures from there. Collection: Dahai village, Dingxiao town, Xingyi County Xingyi County, Qianxinan, Guizhou, China (mindat.org) Another location is Nimaigu village, Xingyi City (Huangcaoba), near the Yunnan border in southwest Guizhou. Collection: Nimaigu Village Xingyi County, Qianxinan, Guizhou, China (mindat.org) There is a picture of the quarry in Tintori et al. 2011: A NEW “FLYING” FISH FROM THE UPPER LADINIAN (MIDDLE TRIASSIC) OF WUSHA (GUIZHOU PROVINCE, SOUTHERN CHINA).

makias Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 @oilshale thanks a lot!, what's shown on the PDF is exactly what I wanted to get a glimpse of, even though it is not directly related to a Keichousaurus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilshale Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 In Nimaigu (= Wusha), Thoracopterus was found in bed 42 to 47, the main Keichousaurus bearing interval in this quarry is from bed 26 to 35. Quote from Tintri et al. 2011, p. 40: "Over 300 reptilian remains as well as dozens of fishes have been so far collected in the 28 units (layer 26 to layer 53) of the 5.5 m-thick vertebrate-bearing section". That was the situation more than 10 years ago. Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilshale Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) And this is how most of these poor creatures are "prepared" - with a rotary grinder!

rocket Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Most of them have been done like this, with a rotary grinder. Some had been done with airpens, but last years you can see more and more prepared with airbraisive they sometimes have incredible condition..
