Ludwigia Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Very cool, the echie is really special! You're right about that! By the way, I've just finished posting the Struveaspis in my gallery if you'd like to have a look. Thanks again! Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Ludwigia Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Thanks, Tony. That's the good old glauconite mixed with a bit of iron sulphide giving the greenish-blue tint.

Ludwigia Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Now that I've got the commision work done, I've gotten back to some more personal activity. Discosphinctoides sp. 11cm.

Shamalama Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I love the hitchhikers. So what do those say about how long the shell was lying on the sea floor? Was the exterior shell gone and the worm settled on a steinkern? -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Ludwigia Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 I love the hitchhikers. So what do those say about how long the shell was lying on the sea floor? Was the exterior shell gone and the worm settled on a steinkern? There was a lot of mineralogical activity long after burial and fossilization. Pyritization, calcification, glauconite, etc., all at various stages. I think the worm settled on the shell, the shell was dissolved much later, but the mineralization kept the worm tube in place.

Ludwigia Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 Got some more things finished today. The first one is an ammonite I've not found here to date. It's not in the best shape, but good enough to keep, since this species is hard enough to find anywhere, if it is what I think it is. Ochetoceras canaliferum 7cm. Coryceras dentatum. 2cm. A heteromorph. Unidentified gastropod mold. 3cm. Garnierisphinctes sp. 10cm. Lamellaptychus lamellosus. 3cm. Belongs to Taramelliceras. Together with the brachiopod Nucleata nucleata. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
