PFOOLEY Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Very nice You sp. I like that you leave those little worm traces on the specimen.

I like that you leave those little worm traces on the specimen. That's a Me sp. ok, complete with worms... Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Plantguy Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Roger, admittedly I'm slow and tend to look at some of the odd things...is this thing a worm trace too on the Me? It has a three dimensional trace look to it... I've probably forgotten how you chose your me--what was the draw to that particular ammonite genus? 1st find? Its also a cool present day plant genus.

Its also a cool present day plant genus. unknown orb.jpg Regards, Chris It's a Bryozoan. Berenicea sp. The reason I chose my name is because it's one of the more common ammonites to be found in my beloved upper Aalenian layers. Here are the next 2 done. A Witchellia sp.from Sherborne, Dorset and an Oppelia sp. from Burton Bradstock. Edited December 6, 2015 by Ludwigia Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Plantguy Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Thanks Roger. Nice new ones. Still shake my head over those crazy suture patterns in those things. Too bad they are extinct. Hard to imagine what they would have looked like with several more millions of years complexity. Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) I think they may have survived if they had simplified themselves, like the Nautilus, but no, they just went crazy with their forms in the cretaceous period.

DE&i Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Hi Rodger, I really like your Burton Bradstock ammos as they are really hide to find.

BrokenTrowel Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Really nice work. I especially love the rarecostata. That piece just does something amazing when you look at it. -Kreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Hi Rodger, I really like your Burton Bradstock ammos as they are really hide to find. I'm really happy to have some out of this old collection. The fellow I got them from has written a number of papers on them along with another person who also gave me some from that site in exchange for some of my Wutach ammonites. By the way, you can drop the "d" in my name. I'm not the dodger, just plain Roger. Really nice work. I especially love the rarecostata. That piece just does something amazing when you look at it. Isn't it crazy. I've got a second one here I'll be working on soon, but it looks more normal. Fantastic Ammonites. Thanks, Seth Here are the next ones finished. A Sonninia sp. from Burton Bradstock (16.5cm.) and a Hyperlioceras sp.(6cm.) from Cockroad Farm. Edited December 8, 2015 by Ludwigia Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Ludwigia Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) I finally got around to prepping another one of these. It's another Sonnia sp.(18.5cm.), This time from the Bajocian laeviuscula Zone at Sherborne, Dorset. The interesting thing about it, is that I discovered 2 Gastropods on it. The first, probably a Eucloscala sp. is sitting on top, and the second, an Orbinella sp. is on the back side, where there's also a partial of a much larger one.
